PMS Busters

I am having again another episodic attack of depression, moodiness, silence and "Gah! I am so worthless" thinking rolled into one today. I always get these attacks. There never was a month when I have not felt it. Maybe this is my body's way of notifying me that I am already nearing my monthly period. The attack would normally come at the middle of that particular day and will linger for about a few hours or so depending on my receptiveness to free myself from that state. Nonetheless, I totally dislike the feeling and I hate the fact that I have to undergo this phase every single month.

Anyway, what a girl's got to do about the inevitability of the situation but to just be ready in counter attacking it, right?

Well, I have my own set of PMS busters and these are, most of the time, accomplished in the order shown below:

1. Read favorite fashion, photo and local blogs (A good entry from the bloggers that I follow could already lighten me up.)

Below are the blogs that I frequent:

Gibbs Cadiz of Gibbs Cadiz, Anton of Our Awesome Planet, Wendy of Xiaxue, Ala of Ala-ism, Jane of Sea of Shoes, Diana of hot chocolate and mint, Lauren of Ukay Manila, CD of Manila Fashion Observer, Betty of Le Blog de Betty, Karla of Karla's Closet, Tokyobanbhao of Le monde de Tokyobanhbao, Tiffany of I am Style-ish, Lucrecia of Fashion is Poison and Jessica of Jessica Claire - Photographer

2. View my friends' profiles and pictures in facebook or chat with my colleagues (That will make me redirect my attention to somebody else.)

3. Go to the bookstore near our building. (The bookstore nearby sells second-hand books. I love old books. I love the smell of those. I am addicted to it. Breathing in a whiff can already make me high.)

4. Walk around the block. (Exercise releases endorphins which in turn could make anyone feel healthy and happy.)

5. A dose of vanilla ice cream. (I do not know how or why, but this has been my instant pick-me-up for quite some time now. Food really does wonders no?)

Well, that's it! I can assure you that once I have done all of those, my ADHD will again kick in and I would be very much okay by then. Haha.
