How do you deal with hormone-induced extra-strong emotions?

[philstar22]

What's your best solutions for dealing with emotions that are at least partially hormone induced and you can't seem to control?

Re: How do you deal with hormone-induced extra-strong emotions?

I try to get them out of my system when I'm alone, like watching sad movies if I'm going to have a cry at some point. I find once I have the emotion I usually feel some relief from the building up feeling. If I need to yell into my pillow or have an ugly cry, I might feel silly doing it, but at least it's not directed at people.

I also think tracking when I'm likely to be weird and hormonal has helped. I can even predict better now when my cycle is off because I really try to think if I'm feeling off if there's a cause or it's just come on by itself. It's been good for the anxiety I usually get because I can tell myself it's just PMS related and I'll probably feel better in a few days.

Distract myself, do things that regulate the humours like (boring) eating properly and walking in the sun, clean my house or pull weeds because I'm already in a mood, maybe talk to a friend... Acknowledge to myself that I am having a feeling and it sucks. Try real hard not to spread the grump around...

I track my moods as well as my period so I'm often relieved that hey, I'm not actually depressed, it's just hormones.

I try to be nice to myself, take a nice shower, wash my hair, go to bed early with a good book. I call trusted loved ones and talk with my friends about non-serious subjects. I steer clear from news stories and the awfulness of the internet and watch some silly tv or movies instead. If I'm going to be emotional it will be because of fiction, not rl injustices!

I hope you'll find your own way of dealing with it, you're not alone!
