You could agree to have her tell you if she's just bitching to bitch (venting), or if she's really serious. I'm assuming (ass, you, me) that you are dating someone intelligent enough and self-aware enough to recognize the difference.

To the extent this is on a monthly cycle, you could (for your own edification) analogize to how your behavior is affected when your hormones are whipped into a frenzy. Are your thoughts and perceptions substantively different? Do you have to go through an extra level of thought to determine rational behavior ("If I weren't hornier than an elephant's tusk, would I be reacting the same way?")? It's not dissimilar.
