im finding... in this part of my cycle (last week before period), that i am wanting more babying attention, nurturing, people seeking me out/caring for me, i want to be lead, protected and i want the one leading me to let me just follow... i am not as outgoing, i am prone to apathy, fatigue, irritability, rapid mood swings... then - because i know my actions are not the normal me and because i often feel guilty, falling short, needy, unhelpful, snappy, annoyed, lethargic, - i find myself trying to explain/make excuses for my acting in such ways...
