My Three-Month-iversary

Hey, yesterday marked three months as a member of this board for me! I have come a ~long~ way since then :)

I'd like to encourage lurkers to jump in and join in. If you're not sure what to post just start with some 'bookending' - it really does work!

Does Anyone Have PMS?

I have been trying to really suss out this situation. I have a billing program called iBiz (formerly iWork) that offers the option of graphing your work hours. After one particularly bad year, I did this and I noticed that my billable hours (I'm a freelancer) bottomed out in the five to ten days before my period month after month. It was as if I only understood working and billing for the other 20 days of the month. I have noticed that for me (and incidentally for another friend of mine) PMS manifests as a severe lack of focus. It becomes very, very difficult to operate on my own during those days. I manage to get things done, but it's very hard. I can write down a long list of things to do, but I can only stare at it in wonder and despair and not be able to prioritize the chores--ranging from "buy a car" to "do the dishes" --and set forth to do one of them with any confidence. For me, PMSsing can be very linked to time bingeing and obsessive thinking as well. Okay. So there's the problem. What do I do about it?
