and i started my period.
so i got a pad from a friend.
then at lunch i freaked out thinking it was going to go through.
then my friend made me laugh so bad. (:
butt then after i was done laughing, id start crying again.
so any ideas? PLEASE&&THANKYOU
It is normal to get more emotional during/around the time of your period. How much really depends on the person. I had a friend who got very moody, whereas I usually get slightly more emotional and sensitive. It probably also depends on your age. If it is becoming a problem and seems like you are beyond moody and emotional, you can always talk to a doctor or other professional.

Also, just because your friends call you bipolar doesn't mean you are. It is a serious mental condition, so being moody does not imply that someone is bipolar or even has bipolar tendencies. If, however, you (and/or anyone else) notice that your mood swings are a serious problem even when you are not on your period, consider consulting a parent or doctor about it. But all in all, being emotional during your period is normal, especially if you are a teen or are still getting used to the cycle.

thanks... (:

I am here to give honest advice, when I feel I have something to contribute. I try to be as empathetic and understanding as I can, as I know that the way something is said is as important as the message itself.

I usually advise on love/relationships, friendship and family issues, nutrition, and health (mental and physical). If I feel I can help out, there's not a whole lot I am unwilling to answer. Ask away!
