Ladies this blog is for you.
I have decided periods suck! Let's be honest though, are they ever enjoyable? And if you think about it, periods don't just effect us one week out of the month. There is the week before, I know for me that is when my boobs start to hurt and I get a little moody. For me it feels like there is a cloud that comes over my head and looms above me. Then the week of the period the cloud rains on my head and sometimes it throws some lightening. Then the period is over. As sudden as the storm came in it leaves just like that. . .sometimes!!! There are those times it doesn't know what it is going to do. Have you ever had the fake out? You think its gone and you take off the rain boots, and then BAM. . .sneak attack!!!
I know it probably sounds like I am whining. And yeah I am. But I hate the week long depression and the mood swings that come with it. It's bad enough I have to bleed but I hate wreaking havoc on my poor husband. The poor guy probably thinks his wife has been invaded or abducted.
But anyway I am just pretty gloomy and irritated and I wanted to vent my frustrations at the cause of it all. Isn't that odd that a little period creates so much mental frustration. That is probably why the husband calls it a mental stration!
Anyway ladies feel free to share in my frustration or put me in my place and tell me to get over it. LOL!

I'm sorry I wouldn't know i don't have periods and the rest of that happens to be all the time. :-D
Well...I can feel your pain...but may I offer you something from my own personal experience..I used to feel the same way about my "time of the month". Today, at 36 and a mom to 5, I actually welcome the pain, the bloating, the whole mess that comes each month. Why? Because I am just rejoicing over how God created my body. I was on birth control for the past 5 years and had virtually no symptoms of menstration- no pain,cramping bleeding- nothing! Well does that sound wonderful? Let me tellyou what else comes with ending your menstartion...Never wanting to be touched, feeling mild depression all the time, an overgrowth of yeast encouraged by the birth control, turning into a fungus inside that kept me overweight, etc. etc. Worst of all a lost feeling of desire for my husband. I can't tell you how painful it was to want to- want to -be with my husband in a physical way and not being able to tolerate his physical touch, let alone enjoy it.
One month after being off b/c - getting back to cramps and pain and bloating and bleeding and moodiness- I also crave his touch, long for him to be near me and more. I will take all the pain that goes along with how God created my body to work the way HE designed it- over the lonliness I have endured the past 5 years of lost intimacy. Just a little different perspective~
(OH and...as for my poor husband...let me say In my own experience, I had to pray and ask God to help me recognize when I was "moody" so I could change how I acted during those times..it really helped : D) Shelley B~
Thank you so much Shelley, it's always good to here the right perspective. I was so crabby when I wrote this! And the crazy part I was fine after a couple of days. Thanks girl!
