Just because it occurs cyclically doesn't mean it is not valid. It may be that when you are feeling more sensitive and vulnerable premenstrually, you are not able to suppress these emotions. Women are conditioned to be caring, sensitive, responsive to others, reasonable and responsible. The forces in society are powerful enough to make women feel guilty, abnormal and sick if they behave irrationally or angrily. It is not good for our health to suppress anger or to deny its validity when it surfaces.
Many women find that the support they get from other women is crucial.
Also, finding a health practitioner who listens and is flexible in their approach is invaluable. Following the basic principles of a wholesome diet is good for us all. Fresh fruit and vegetables, whole foods such as wholemeal bread, brown rice, seeds and nuts, lean meat, fish and chicken, unsaturated fats, low fat dairy products, plenty of pure water, fruit juices and herbal teas are valuable to maintaining us in a healthy state. Junk foods, refined sugars, tea and coffee, cola and other fizzy drinks, alcohol, salt and saturated fats such as those in fried foods, red meat and butter are best avoided or eaten in limited quantities. Dietary supplements may be useful if a wholesome diet by itself is not helping.
