When your hormones get the best of you

Yesterday I was feeling too sick to write. I had headache and backache. Today I am still feeling not so good, and every month two weeks before my period comes I suffer from the same symptoms. Although, I believe it is a very  personal thing to share, I also believe it is important to talk about it.

So many women experience headache, backache, cramps, tender swollen breasts, stomach bloating, acne outbreaks, weight gain, clumsiness, tiredness, tearfulness, irritability, mood swings and even depression around their period cycle, and sometimes spouses or other family members don't fully understand how it feels like going through all of that and still keep it together.

Unfortunately, all these symptoms are not excuses, they are real, and they are awful. But what makes me really sad it is the fact my symptoms are getting severe, harming my relationship with my husband and my kids. I get easily upset and frustrated, and often times I am mean to them, and I can't help it. 


With that being said it is time to see a doctor. I love my family more than anything. I want to be healthy for them and for myself. Today I said things I didn't mean to the girls. I am specially being too hard on Giovanna. That hurts me because our sweet babies are wonderful and they deserve better.
