This visitor is something every girl is blessed with, yet it is always the most dangerous and hated thing of a woman’s existence. Our dreaded visitor comes once a month. When “our time of the month” comes around there are an array of lovely symptoms that come with. Living with my friends at college has been a joyous experience the majority of the time, yet when the Red River is flowing it can be a scary time. Thanks mother nature for having it be a thing that women who live together, also get the pleasure of having leak week at the same time. Here’s the lovely symptoms of our periods as told by some of the best Netflix shows to binge on when you ride the roller coaster that accompanies mother nature’s present.
Cramps
The feeling that millions of angry people are stomping all over your lady parts, causing you to curl up in the fetal position begging for some relief.
Lazy
In one trip, you grab the chocolate, other weird food cravings, the heating pad, pillows, blankets, your phone and your laptop as you park yourself in front of the TV for the rest of the day.
The highs of your period is when you experience inexplicable happiness, and you are unusually kind and friendly towards people. You may laugh at everything and go around with an unwavering smile on your face.
Hungry
It seems that on your period, you always gain an extra fifteen pounds because there is rarely a time when you aren’t eating. Nothing seems to fill you up and your stomach has become a bottomless pit. And don’t even think about taking food from someone on their period. (It’s for your safety really).
Angry
Anger normally goes hand in hand with hunger, but when on your period there comes a time in which everything and everyone is beyond annoying and you don’t know how you deal with people on normal basis.
TiredLiterally getting changed from your pajamas to your sweatpants is the biggest struggle ever.
Pain
Besides period cramps, there are various other aches and pains we suffer through. There’s back pain, boob pain, headaches, and just about every body part one could think of.
Full out hysterical sobbing
The crying stage during one’s time of month is unpredictable and uncontrollable. It can occur during a sad movie or if something exciting happens for a friend. And once it starts there is absolutely no way of knowing when it will end.
The Happy-Sad-Angry Roller-coaster
This roller-coaster is far from being any fun, it is an irrational move that can quickly change from laughing, to crying, to yelling and start all over again. It is one of the worst period stages, apologies to anyone who has had to experience the wrath of this roller-coaster.
