I hope mine ends before my Birthday and Halloween.  But I don't expect it to.  Last several years seems to always fall on my birthday which is day before halloween
Every day we pass people, do we see them or the mask they wear?
If you live under a mask long enough, does it eventually break or wear down?  Does it become part you?  Maybe alone, they are truly themselves?  Or maybe they have forgotten or buried themselves so long, they forget they are not a mask?

A week or so before the dreaded "time of the month," I sortof turn into a jerk. It's no good, because I'm mean to people I'm close to, and then just a couple seconds later, I'm like, "Wtf did I say that for?"

Anyway, I'm experiencing it now, and it actually did something good for me! This guy I know who's prone to making unintentionally transphobic comments said something about an FTM having "lesbian sex." When I tried to say, "It's not lesbian sex if one of the people is a guy," he was like, "Well if it was videotaped, and then they showed it to someone who...uh...didn't know, that person would call it lesbian sex." He knew what was wrong with that statement, but he just wants to invalidate my gender identity because he's about 5'3 and I'm 5'6 or 5'7, and he has a Napoleon complex.

Usually, I would just keep arguing and being logical. But the emotions came pouring in, and I said, while walking away, "I'm seriously going to punch you in the ****ing face, you need to stay over there."

I didn't see the look on his face, but I have a feeling it was priceless.  >:-)

For the first time in my life, I actually have a reason to like having my period. I just got it yesterday, which means it will be gone before Halloween! I'm real happy about that because this is the only time of year I get to be a boy without too many crazy looks (I'm not out at my school yet, so I can't bind.) and it kinda sucks to have your period reminding you all day.

My time of month has been screwy.  And I can't always tell when have it because for one I don't always realize my emotions are high because of it, 2 it happens different times each month, and to make things worse it lasts for an unknown amount of time.  I've had it last between 4 days up to over a week.  So even starting yesterday or today doesn't mean will be completely gone by my birthday.

Yesterday I got pissed at my brother and usually I don't think I would've got pissed if it hadn't been for PMSing. My family (all of them) usually piss me off anyway so I don't know if it was anything different. I act like such a typical girl when my family makes me mad and I try real hard to stop. It seems like when I'm angry I act the girliest..I wish I could stop that

JonasCarminis

i act girly too when im mad.  when im mad i start to cry.
  •  

Godot

Same here..but I usually have to be super saiyan pissed before I cry..it's hard to keep from crying though when super mad
  •  

Aiden

Same here. Cry when mad, though not only thing do when mad.  I have quite a temper lol

lol i look the maddest when im just kinda mad... then after im really mad i get silent and get out.  when im the worst it turns to irrational crying.

Anyway, back to the topic... I also have a problem when I don't know when they're going to start or end. I used to have them at the end of the month, but once it just jumped back to the 1st day of the month, and it's been inching backwards ever since. This is my period for November.

And they last a long time, too. Once I had one that lasted 2 weeks.

Orgasm can help with cramping.  
It usually helps with me but sometimes it's made it worse..but when it works I feel a little better. Anything for cramp relief though

Same here.  Usually makes it worse.  :-\ But if it works for you, that's great.  (Lucky duck. ;))  Only thing that works for me is massive amounts of Ibuprofen.  Sometimes as much as 4 OTC pills in the morning, (which is equivilent to 1 prescription-strength) followed by 1-2 pills every 4 hours whether I need it or not.  That usually keeps me relatively pain-free all day.

Yeh I know sounds crazy.  Or maybe not but old home remedy my stepmother told me is eatng bananas LOL  they do help some actually but I don't do that much.  Probably because I don't eat the rest of them when time of month done lol

Bananas are high in potasium, so maybe there's a link with that?
I read somewhere where fruit has vitamins and stuff in it that can reduce cramps but I haven't tried it yet. I'm sure it can't hurt.

Was it so called "Chaste Tree berry"?

EDIT:
It's known by the names: Agnus Castus, Chasteberry, Cloister Pepper, Monk's Berry, Monk's Pepper, Vitex, Vitex agnus-castus
Quote from: Drug DigestChaste tree berries are approved by the German Commission E (the German governmental agency that evaluates the safety and effectiveness of herbal products) for normalizing irregular menstrual periods and relieving PMS symptoms such as bloating, breast tenderness, and moodiness.

Eurgh, periods are awful... fortunately I'm used to/resigned to them now, I know how to deal with them without too much hassle.
And they have gradually been getting lighter and shorter in the past year to 18 months... they were thoroughly dreadful for the first 3 years. :s

Supposed to start 'T' soon but of course the monthly flow decided it had to rear it's head right before I start lol.  How long does 'T' take to stop the flow usually?  and anyone ever started in the middle of their time of month?
