I was feeling stressed and frustrated, yeah! It was just because of that over burden of the work, I was upset because of missing my family, was not feeling well because of weakness etc…
Almost for all these types of situations usually we know the reason behind our feelings. Even if we can’t describe it we know one thing is, yes this happened and hence I’m feeling nervous or disturbed. But there is one situation that too only for ladies, which occurs exactly like season. Ohh god! Not like season actually, because season also has some etiquettes and manners while coming and going! But for ladies… this time…. Though it has particular timetable there is no guaranty that it will be followed like a good boy. No… what I mean to say is, when rain starts very first time, that time will be the most tempered time of land and overall environment. Which gives signal like now it’ll rain. But, talking about ‘that’ situation of women, it will keep giving you some another surprises! I guess this might be the only surprise that women hate. But it is like if she gets surprised; there will be a hatred (for a time being) and even if she won’t get it; that will be also problematic!
Yeah it’s confusing!
Now you imagine, the same situation in which she is not feeling well physically too! Ouch! Much worsen, right? Hmm!
It’s her menstrual ovulation time dude! Yess; it is her “period time”.
Before focusing on time period, let’s just get an abstract about pre-period scenario. Before actually starting the day of menstrual cycle, at least for a week or more, a woman goes through a looot of ups and downs. Emotional ups & down. Not with purpose but it’s her jolly hormones! They just love to jump from one steam to another whenever they want to and however they want to. Whose joy can’t be controlled by its owner too! Otherwise they behave like a gentleman, but after every 2-3 week they goes on vacations and starts playing. And in this time, they just do only those things which they want. Playing, sleeping, crying, laughing, shouting, jumping…. Whatever they want to. They just don’t even care for their owner in this time and even if owner wants to control them, owner can’t! What left in hands of that owner is to not try to control and go with the flow!
Just to give an example let’s think the time in which for a silly reason the women next to you started overreacting or getting angry, started fighting, sudden change of moods. She by herself is not getting, why she reacted overly or why she cried. No, at that time according to her that thing was not silly, but after few minutes, yes, it is! Feeling like lonely, like left out, like no one understands me and why all are behaving in a wrong way & that too only with me? and bla! Bla! Bla!…If such kind of thoughts will be coming out continuously and unknowingly in her mind what else she will do? Just before a minute I was happy and now I’m feeling like lonely! Just a day before yesterday, till the last night of yesterday, I was okay and today I’m feeling like to just leave these all people and go far away! For no reason or I’m not getting the reason. Just now I was making fun of and cracking the jokes and suddenly feeling like to cry out loud!
Is it easy to handle such kind of mood swings? Is it easy to tolerate it for a 3-4-5 days? Continuously?For a week?Or more? And yes! Not only for this month okay? …. The show must go on!!!
At one place, we can handle our physical pain too… but emotional imbalance? Tough! Not only for that person but for the next person too.
You know what; in this time what she would expect from us? Will she expect expensive gift, very big and lavish things or will she expect five star hotel food? No….
She will expect only one thing from all of us is to understand her. Nothing else she wants.
Yes, practically, no one can control those hormones!Hence we can do only one thing to just sit beside her and do nothing. Someone is there for you who understand you are not just a thought but strength!
Support is not gender biased so whether you are male or female doesn’t matters when you are supporting her! Unconditional support matters!
And now for those who are experiencing such crusts and troughs. It’s not your fault, the way you are behaving in your pre-period time or it’s not a problem you are carrying, it is a very natural and obvious thing to feel like and behave like. What you can do is to try to understand your each hormone and feelings of that naughty hormone!
