I don't like it because my brain is not braining at that time... Can't read anything or learn even if I take a pill... It doesn't work out... The whole week I feel irritated and lock myself up in my room... And don't listen to anyone...
Pure horror. Increased anxiet. Sensitivity. Its not every time but every second or third.
I hate the days before, those days I can’t focus, I get super sleepy and I can’t enjoy my workouts because I feel so unmotivated and physically week 😞 Today I’m happy tho, because I don’t have it 🤪
I hate it... I want to remove those organs because they are nothing more than a nuisance.
Who LIKES periods? I feel so irritated and paranoid, I just want to rot in bed, but that also makes me feel like a failure.
Meh. 80% of the time I barely notice mine. Five-ish days long, and hardly any pain. I use a cup, which is so much more convenient than anything else, and also my sex life remains unchanged because my husband really doesn't mind. I'm aware that I'm lucky with all this. The other 20% of the time the pain and bloating are mild to moderate. It never stops me from getting on with my life in any way.
However, I have dealt with phases of irregularity, sometimes two periods in the same month, and I have a fibroid.
I dislike it immensely, and because of that, I started taking birth control pills to stop them completely.
Eughk. I get SO tired and my bowels hate me for a few days and I get bloated and irritable and even more forgetful. Also the period acne is annoying
And then after a few days I suddenly am not exhausted and have a little more energy than usual.
Mine were great before kids. After kids? Now I know why so many complain. Major cramps the first 2 days with general gushing action for the first 3 days. I have a higher than average pain tolerance but some of those cramps make me freeze and hold my breath until it passes.
I get irritated more quickly and my energy levels are low for about 4 days.
I dislike them. But I’ve learned to go with it. It’s temporary at least.
On one hand I hate the pain a period gives me and dealing with bleeding and exhaustion…
On the other hand I kind of like becoming a gross hermit lady once a month. I can’t explain it.
I get migraines on top of period cramps so I'm doubly cranky during them. It ain't something I look forward to.
Mine this month was surprisingly good and I’m still in it. Last month I was so happy I couldn’t even write my story as it requires me to apparently be unhappy to write haha. My first ever period in awhile where I was happy as heck. It took me straight out of my depressive slum, it was amazing. This time I still feel depressed so it didn’t do the same thing, but I don’t feel incredibly angry or anything either. So I reckon it barely changed me this time.
Yeah, I hear ya. Sometimes I read back some work emails I sent out during my period and I cringe. Missing words, messed up grammar, etc. It’s like my iq goes down 30 points.
I also want to legally separate from my husband and think my coworkers are conspiring against me during my period. I try to tell my myself that I’m being irrational due to my period and hormones but then I think to myself, maybe I just see things more clearly and I’m a fool the rest of the month, lol.
Child birth helped me, but I see women say they did not benefit from that. I definitely used to have migraines and at least one day when I was dumb. Brain wouldn't work.
Who does like period?
Some people are so lucky that they don't feel... they only feel back stiffness... HOW?!
I used to have rough periods but started taking magnesium supplements and most of my symptoms vanished. All my doctors recommended magnesium supplements, although not specifically for this. And of course it may not help everyone.
Brain fog and moodiness - nearly eliminated. Cramps, aches and fatigue - less often and much milder. Flow is lighter too. That said, the sheer fact the body is emitting blood is still very unpleasant and inconvenient.
Unfortunately... I can't drink magnesium... Seizures...
I think I have PMDD honestly. I always feel crazy/depress the week before my period comes. My period makes me feel like I have split personalities and because of that some people misunderstand me. The part of me I believe myself to be and the part of me that’s others see don’t align. I blame my period. Most of the fights I have are on my period week and it sucks. Sorry it’s a frustrating topic because it’s like a beast I can’t control so I hide. Its a week of mental torture and then a week of pain. 😔
Does anyone enjoy them? Haha. Yeah I hate it. Painful and inconvenient and super moody and tired.
Simply Awful. Younger me seriously wanted to be born infertile. That's insane.

Oh like a menstrual period? Yeah those suck. I wish we reabsorbed our endometrial lining like many other animals
We do, but not entirely
I don't now, I haven't menstruated for a year (I know, I have to go to the doctor, but it's expensive).
