PCOD ka pre-period drama: AC remote ne rula diya, koi tips for mood swings?

Ugh, just had the worst meltdown over literally nothing. My roommate left the AC remote on the table instead of the bed, and I started crying for 20 minutes straight. Then I got angry at myself for crying. Classic PCOD pre-period drama, hai na? I’m 26, working in Mumbai, hostel life is already a mess—can’t control my diet, always ordering oily food because I’m too tired to cook. And then this happens.

My mom keeps calling and saying “beta, stress mat lo, sab theek ho jayega.” Like, does she think I choose to feel like a volcano about to erupt? The mood swings are insane—one minute I’m fine, next I’m snapping at colleagues for no reason. I’ve started trying spearmint tea twice a day, but honestly, I don’t know if it’s helping or if it’s just placebo.

The worst part? I feel so alone in this. My friends don’t get it—they just say “relax, it’s just periods.” But it’s not just periods, yaar. It’s this whole hormonal chaos.

Anyone else feel like their emotions are on a rollercoaster before their periods? What do you do to keep sane? I’m desperate for tips that actually work in a shared hostel setup.
