PMS

Hindi ko alam sa ibang mga babae, pero ako, kahit ayaw ko ay nangyayari pa din talaga at kahit pigilan ko, lumalabas pa din talaga. Ano ba sinasabi ko? Oh, ito…

The most common physical symptoms include:

Abdominal fullness, feeling gaseous

Bloating of the abdomen

Breast tenderness

Clumsiness

Constipation or diarrhea

Food cravings

Headache

Less tolerance for noises and lights

Other symptoms include:

Confusion

Difficulty concentrating

Fatigue

Feelings of sadness or hopelessness

Feelings of tension, anxiety, or edginess

Forgetfulness

Irritable, hostile, or aggressive behavior, with outbursts of anger toward self or others

Loss of sex drive (may be increased in some women)

Mood swings

Poor judgment

Poor self-image, feelings of guilt, or increased fears

Sleep problems (sleeping too much or too little)

Slow, sluggish, lethargic movement

Ang hirap na nga ng may period ka, tapos sasabayan pa ng mga ganito. Para bang parusa every month (except for those na nag-aabang talaga, if you know what I mean).

On a lighter note, masarap pa din naman maging babae in spite of all these. Katulad na lang nitong nakaraang Valentine’s Day, ang mga babae parang mga reyna at prinsesa na inalayan ng mga regalo, lalo ng mga magagandang bulaklak. Sa araw-araw naman, pansin niyo? Babae ang madalas na inaalagaan, inaasikaso, at iniintindi. Ito pa! Sa Facebook lang eh, ang daming mga notes tungkol sa kung paano pakitunguhan ang babae at kung anu-ano pang mga bagay-bagay na makakapagpasaya sa mga babae… blah blah blah. Oh di ba?

It’s like girls are made to be pampered and cared for, and in return we, girls, have to go through these body changes, or whatever it is called.
