What’s the most insignificant little thing you’ve gotten way too emotional about in PMS?
Comments
I was crying because my dog looked sad when I left to get groceries.
I cried yesterday because my tomato seedlings are stalled and I’m gonna have to buy pre-started plants for the garden… this is my first time ever gardening and all the others are doing great. Give yourself grace today folks! <3
I wanted to clean my house and do the dishes, but I ran out of dish soap and started freaking out before deciding to take a nap instead
I cried because I dropped my tacos
I wanted a hamburger but got a mchicken (somebody brought them in, I didn’t pay for it)
I was crying because I really wanted a meatball and there were no meatballs.
I wouldn’t call the fall of the Berlin Wall insignificant, but the fact that I cry about it every month if I watch a documentary about it, is quite weird. Especially since I wasn’t born yet. Other historical events? My eyes stay dry as fuck.
People breathing.

My husband and I were in the grocery store in the frozen food aisle. I realized he wasn’t walking next to me anymore so I stopped to look back just in time to see him putting a frozen pie in the cart. He HATES that kind of pie but he knows I love it and the thoughtfulness of him getting it for me completely wrecked me. We’re talking sobbing, snotty, hiccup crying because I was so overwhelmed by how loved and cared for he made me feel with such a small gesture.
I once started crying because my favorite snack was out of stock at the store. PMS really makes you feel things you wouldn’t normally.
I have PMDD so basically waking up. I have literally cried right after I woke up. Life seems 10000 x worse with PMDD.
Prego, not PMS, but the song “Fast Car” made me sob. Context: I grew up in a middle class white neighborhood and my life is nothing like the song.
Had come off my birth control of 10+ years. The first period I had was 2 months in.
I started sobbing while mopping my floors because I just felt sad and I could feel the weight of the sadness and sorrow. No clue what triggered it either.
My poor boyfriend came downstairs and was immediately horrified and panicked because he’s never seen me cry like that.
It was so bad I couldn’t even communicate what was going on. Then I got even sadder cause he walked on my freshly washed floors so they weren’t clean anymore.
The next 6 months of ‘detoxing’ off BC was brutal.
I’ve cried because my sandwich had the wrong sauce and didn’t taste the way I wanted, or if my partner told me to not overindulge in chocolate. PMS makes you feel like a weepy zombie.
I cried because my husband was making jacket potatoes for dinner. I like jacket potatoes. No idea why I felt a severe sadness over this meal choice.
Just the other day I sat on the floor and bawled my eyes out because I went to stack a couple packages I got and put the top one on crooked
I cried because my husband couldn’t read my mind when I haven’t decided what I want to eat 🤣
My boyfriend drank my glass of coke and I started crying. Honestly, considering how much I love my coke, it could happen any other time too. But he never dared after that day.
because i convinced myself that my loved ones hated me and my friends only tolerate me.
Cute old men sitting together in their driveway waved at me… seeing people on the side of the road supporting local political candidates… I’m unhinged and cry happy tears
My partner poked my arm
When Brendan Fraser won the Oscar for The Whale 😂
Not enough cheese on my toasty
It was finally a nice day out so I could go on a walk, that made me tear up already. I went to put on make up so I’d look nice for my walk, and I dropped my eyebrow pencil on the floor. Full-on sobs.
I didn’t know how to pronounce my mom’s name.
She died when I was three, and she had a typical Irish name. (I didn’t grow up there). She was always just “Mom.”
When I was around 17 or 18, I was going through some of her things and suddenly realized I didn’t know how to say her name.I wouldn’t call it insignificant, but instead of just asking my dad, I broke down crying hysterically until he heard me and came in.
I mean I’ve cried over being out of chocolate when I really wanted chocolate too, but that one always stood out to me. 😅
ahhh I can barely choose, the one with the best ending:
Asked the waitress what the difference was between the pork and the chicken sandwitch -having seen the pork one with rukkola, but wanting chicken- she said only the meat is different.
The chicken sandwitch had purple cabbage instead of rukkola. I was in tears, my boyfriend saw and let the waitress know my need for greens, the waitress was very nice and brought me a bowl of rukkola free of charge.
I cried because an old man at the restaurant was eating alone.
I cried when I went to the grocery store and saw a single banana on a shelf of bunches and pairs.
Another one: I am addicted to energy drinks, the way some people are addicted to coffee.
I asked two of my friends to bring me one for the protest as everything will be closed near by. They both forgot and then we walked around for almost an hour looking for a goddamn energy drink. I was so frustrated by the end, I cried when finally we found a place that sold my energy drink (like triple the normal price, it was a fancy bar)
I couldn’t hang this picture straight for the life of me. Ended up just sitting down and bawling about it for 10 minutes lol.
Cried when I was hanging with friends having fun, when I saw two middle aged dudes hanging out in awkward silence
Had a meeting at work and someone complimented my work ethic. I teared up and cried in front of about 50 people.
My husband bought the wrong type of Ben and Jerrys and I burst into tears like the world was ending.
When Maria married Captain Von Trapp and all the cloistered nuns were singing How do you solve a problem like Maria while she walked down the aisle…

I can’t French Braid my hair.
Had a full on cry fest because I can’t French Braid.
I full on ugly sobbed one morning while watching the end of Return of the King. You know the part where Frodo’s leaving and kisses Sam’s forehead? WRECKED me.
Just this afternoon, I opened a bottle of coke that fizzled a bit out of the top.
I cried, poured the whole thing down the sink, and went to bed for five hours.
Watching my husband play with our dog. Absolutely smitten 🥹
I got really upset, inconsolable, bordering on hysterical, because I realised my dog would never get to eat toblerone.
That was a bad day.
Watched a commercial with a happy golden retriever and broke down sobbing because I couldn’t pet the dog through the TV screen. My roommate found me on the couch surrounded by tissues trying to explain between hiccups why the dog looked so soft.
Dropped my last hair tie while getting ready for work and completely lost it. Sat on the bathroom floor crying for 15 minutes while my cat just stared at me judgingly. Looking back now I can’t believe I was that devastated over a 50 cent hair tie.
Cried over a Kroger commercial.
I cried because my little brother refused to clean up his room
I cried for almost 2 days thinking about the fact that I MIGHT move out of my childhood home in 6 months for grad school and I’ve never lived alone before and started crying cause I would miss my family. The funny part is, I hadn’t even submitted my application or gotten into school yet, but I was crying just thinking about that fact that I might.
I saw two bunnies playing at the side of the road and burst into tears because they were so beautiful lol
I made this post because I felt crazy for crying over a musical element in a song but these are all so damn real and relatable I feel much better now
Not getting to drink out of my favorite cup because it was dirty 🙁
i don’t cry often, and i don’t always know when i’m pms-ing because my periods are super irregular and it’s hard to track them.
but, i do remember crying once because i went grocery shopping with my dad and we got dog food for my older dog. on the drive back he asked me to stock the cans in the basement, and to put seven under the sink but, “make sure you do every other color so that he can have different flavors each day”. and then i started crying because it was so sweet for him to think of that and i really don’t think dogs care about the flavor of their food😭
I dropped a cheeseball on the ground when I was drinking them from a mug
i got pictures of baby pugs on my tiktok and i started sobbing bc they looked like my boyfriend and i missed him LOLLL
Not being able to take my visiting nieces out, because I was sick and had a horrible ear infection and I was delulu from the medication I was on. So I cried for a whole hour and had an anxiety attack
There are so many! But since I’ve had pcos, I always cry whenever someone’s crying on screen – be it a movie or a show. Literal tears and sobbing.
Started crying while grocery shopping because I saw the Starkist tuna logo and started thinking about people eating him
I cried at a Metallica concert when they started playing the second song because it felt really overwhelming and special, that I was in a stadium with 80k people that all were so happy and everyone was here bc they loved the same thing. So yeah I cried during “For Whom the Bell Tolls”.
I wanted fluffy pancakes lol
Doctor Who. I was on a road trip and the PMS was BAD. I spent 3 hours in the backseat, just sobbing about the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler saying goodbye to each other. No idea why that’s what my brain latches onto, but the grief was intense.
I had to stop and get gas after work instead of going straight home
It was autumn and the leaves were falling. Why do they all have to die?!
Since then I’ve learned to monitor myself better and if I get upset above my base line and the reason seems questionable, I check my calendar. If it’s the week before my period, I don’t act on it. I can be upset all I want and cry if I want but I’m not making decisions that matter at all. Maybe I’ll impulse buy a glitter pen but I won’t repaint my kitchen.
I also keep my partner in the loop so he can buy me ice cream and not judge when I eat twice as much as normal.
My husband came home with food from the taco truck that I absolutely love…but there was no side of sour cream, and the hot sauce was the green one instead of the red one.
Cried because the dinner I was craving was too similar to the dinner I have yesterday and I couldn’t have 2 of the same dinners back to back
This week I cried multiple times a day about how cute Toothless the Dragon and Jeff the Landshark are. So much so that my boyfriend ordered me Jeff t-shirts and my mother thinks I’m insane.
I took a bite of my donut and sobbed because it broke into separate pieces. My husband was horrified and thought that something terrible had happened. Lol!
The sun was in my eyes 🥺cried for over an hour..
I cried because my train was delayed
I wanted a sweet treat after dinner, but all of the sweet treats I had in my house were protein snacks (I’m loosing weight currently, 50lbs down whooo!!!) but I really just wanted something sugary, so I turned to my partner and started to pout, then on the way to the couch and his open arms to cuddle, stubbed my toe on the dining table and just curled into a ball on the ground and cried over my hurt toe and lack of sugary food

Got stuck at a red light. Burst into tears.
I cried when I was 15 because we had no cheese sticks left in the house. I was home alone and had a full on tantrum in the kitchen.
I was chopping up a cucumber and suddenly felt very sad for the vegetable. Broke down crying and my partner at the time had to take over making lunch. Still ate it.
Random commercials lmao
I’ll never see Lad Zeppelin live. I boohooed.
I was having an awful day and got a sweet tea from McDonald’s to cheer myself up but they didn’t put any sweetener in it. Absolutely bawled for an hour
