This happened to me this week as well, RIP us. I never even notice until I'm thinking to myself "today's been a real rollercoaster of emotions!" from grinning because a song is playing that you kind of like to being deeply upset and feeling unlovable because someone didn't text you back immediately -- time to check the calendar, take a deep breath, go to bed and try again tomorrow. Thanks for talking about it! Definitely felt less alone in the monthly struggle.
Oh, Maria! Just finished reading this while also having a "random" bout of crying. I relate so hard to both "This exact scenario happens to me every 27 days, on average." and "Periods! They teach us how little control we often have over our lives and our selves!" This was beautifully written - hope you have a warm and gentle weekend.
