Period Story

Well, lets talk about hormones and periods. I am not going to talk about the biology , the estrogen progesterone story and the fall and rise. Let's talk about behavior. lets talk about observations at least some of you can relate. well everyone's cycle hits different.But I believe there are some commonalities. I believe hormone is a kind of intoxicant.Don't laugh at me,you observe your behavior. You are not you when one of your hormone decide to spike up!! Isn't that true? 

For the people who don't keep a tab on their period dates,they don't need any!Their body is going to say that to them.Suddenly you are so tired. Suddenly you sleep straight 10-11 hours and the next day you read a piece of a story which wont make you cry normally , but that day you cry rivers! Man!! Isn't that crazy!!You cry rivers and the next day or the very night you see your uterus also weeping shedding bloody tears!! The behavior before you get your periods may have evolution over the years. for teen people, this phase would possibly be marked by depression,inferiority complex and extreme anger and in extreme cases suicidal tendencies. But the suicidal tendencies are not really confined to teen people, it is for everyone. A police surgeon in Kerala had once penned an article in news paper, stating that the postmortems she handled of the women, a lion-share of the women were on their periods when they committed that horrible act! This can be linked to pre-menstrual syndrome. But all may not have the syndrome, some just feel to finish off everything and that thought might be for a mere second. But that thought crosses the minds of  most women at some point in their cycle over the years. It is definitely because of the hormones + their surroundings both.  You really need to observe your periods dear women, if you know the pattern, and you know what exactly is going on , then you can master it and you can really control your behavior when your hormones drive you crazy. If you know the problem , you can solve it too.

When you go nuts, make sure to tell your body that, this is not you, this is your hormones. It is like having alcohol and you lose your mind till its effect is there!! unfortunately you don't have to take any alcohol, but your own body will give you that intoxication every month.

Years ago I read this in a medical encyclopedia  "periods is the cry of your uterus after making a beautiful home for a baby whom it was expecting, but never showed up" it is the heart wrenching bloody tears! They have written it in quite a poetic way. But it is kind of true with the way women generally behave at that time considering the last 36 to 24 hours before you see the blood. Women generally get angry, irritated and cry for simple reasons. Because basically she is sad..!! Basically she is sad that she couldn't have a baby. 

In the 24-36 hours you will also a have another mood swing. Suddenly you will be loving to watch something romantic and if  you watch, the things that normally won't tear you up ,but is extremely beautiful, would be making you cry rivers. As we all know biology says the lifetime of an ovum is less than 24 hours and you will see you will be feeling romantic this time and towards the last few hours to hit your period you may see the romantic mood is shifting to sadness. Your hormones are doing wonders on you. It is actually this romantic mood lets you conceive a baby at the precise time.  If you understand your cycle, you can master it .so that you can control it before getting intoxicated in it. A good observer of this can actually use these mood swings in planning the birth control too with the periodic abstinence in action. As for the teen people, with the increased cases pregnancy in them because of casual sex, its extremely important to them to know what their body is trying to say, understanding the shift in mood swings towards the last 24 hours is extremely important. 

Once the period is over, as you might have observed, logical thinking taking a front seat and you are becoming more critical rather than emotional. You see things through normal eyes.. you are not overwhelmed with emotions too. 

But you see what makes a woman the owner of a big heart? it is her this hormones that intoxicate her makes her soft at times, brings extreme emotional breakdown at times, making stronger at times and makes her the owner of a big heart. So despite the hormone intoxicate you, it make you have a soft heart that let you feel all emotions. It is this reason why in general women are labelled as emotional beings!
