Many women are constantly on the go before a period; some can’t even sit down; some can’t stop talking. This type of mood swing seems to upset husbands and relations particularly, because the change is so abrupt. Many complain that they hardly recognize this new hyperactive woman. She wears them out. They don’t know how to respond.
It seems to me that there are two possible ways of dealing with this mood and they are the two extremes. You can either use your energy in the most violent work or exercise possible, or you can put your body into reverse by deliberate and lengthy relaxation. But it must be total relaxation, lying down, lasting at least half an hour, or it won’t have much effect. In a busy life I know how difficult that is to arrange. Fingertip massage can help you to relax too and so can dreamy background music. But even as I write I can remember women telling me that just attempting relaxation like this made them more tense and frantic than ever. So you’ll need to try both methods and see which is best for you.
