scared and alone Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 So yesterday, my period started, light (barely even needing a panty liner) and fine. wasnt cramping or anything. But today I woke up, full blown period, cramping and ever since last night I have been SO exhausted. It just takes everything out of me. I so wish guys understood periods. lol I got plenty of sleep but I am still SO tired. I even started falling asleep last night at like 10, which I never do because i'm a night owl. Link to comment
metrogirl Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I know the first full day wipes me out, not only do I not want to do anything, I really don't want anyone to talk to me either. I would just prefer to lay in bed and die. (not literally) Link to comment
CallingAllAngels Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 The first day is a killer. I'm lucky I can function at all. You are not alone. Link to comment

Parsley Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Ergh. The first day. When you're sitting on the sofa or your bed with your legs curled up and closely as possible, with a pillow or two to hug and a longing for spooning How I ever lived before discovering you could take ibuprofen at the same time as paracetamol I don't know.

Shalron Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 sorry if im wrong but its not like girls dont use it, at least at my school, whenever a girl dissappears for a week they blame it and en mass. a girl in my mates class used her period as an excuse to skip school 3 times in 1 month. now unless im mistaken girls' menstrual cycles dont run parrallel to those of rabbits Link to comment
Supa_gurl Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I would love to sleep ALL day the first day. I even enjoy a little crying. It's the hormones, I swear! Link to comment
theBestFriend Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 omg i know you feel! i started a thread about pms a couple days ago too. i am in so much pain i can't even lay down comfortably, but i'm so tired that all i want to DO is lay down! it varies from month to month, but generally i get knocked out. i've only gotten this way in the last few years, but when i was younger (like middle school), i never understood why some girls had to sit out PE. now i know!

Parsley Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 While some girls will use it to their advantage, it's because quite often it is crippling pain. I still find it so strange to take a step back and look at what happens - we bleed every month for A WEEK and it's completely normal. And it's so often ridiculed as girls being overdramatic, but there is nothing at all that can compare to the pain women endure in day to day life. Periods whether you have children or not, if you do, labour, and then once you finish periods, hot flushes and worse moods and the rest of it. Ergh. Link to comment
HeartGoesOn Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I find the first few days to be the worse, as far as having bad cramps. Taking "Ibuprofen" a few days before, and those first few days of having it help. Link to comment
Anon333 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I am actually exhausted the first two weeks before my period..Yikes..And very cranky, and sometimes feel like everyone is out to get me...I must be such a thrill to be around...That leaves me two weeks out of the month to feel normal...yikes...

Crazyaboutdogs Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Sometimes I get extreme exhaustion about a week before. I have had some months where the first two days I am totally wiped out and spaced out..other months I am quite active. Link to comment
princess_summer_blue84 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 the first 3 days of my period I'm so drained and can't barely stand the pain. All I want to do is stay in bed and stay warm. So No I don't feel like doing anything not even having sex or foreplay. Link to comment

You have NO clue what it is like. It is NOT an excuse with most girls. We are not over dramatizing it. Link to comment
redrose85 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I'm supposed to start my period in about 3 days, and today I am just so blah and listless. Every month I wonder what's going on, then I remember I barely get cramps anymore though, luckily! Link to comment
