Think about what you’re thinking about.
Our thoughts are often so automatic that we barely notice them, but that doesn’t make us feel them any less. You know those times when you start to feel down but don’t know why? I’ll bet your mind just raced through hundreds of negative thoughts, but you’re not attuned to them because you’re so used to thinking them. To help distinguish symptoms from normal functioning, keep a daily chart of symptoms for two months. If you find you are experiencing increased mood swings, sadness, interpersonal conflicts, self-deprecating thoughts or other symptoms, write it down and include your thoughts, feelings, and responses. This way you can track your faulty thought processes and begin to do something about it.
During those days leading up to your menstrual cycle, what are you thinking? How do you explain negative or ambiguous events?

I am thinking about the relief I am about to experience...
I know that within the next few days I am going to wake up and feel almost human again. Then it's going to continue to get better and better! Until I wake up one morning and feel almost depressed about waking up. Then it snowballs. Everything sucks. Until I'm thinking about the relief again. Tucked away in my room. Almost crippled with pain.
