Things That Help Me Feel Better During Periods

Periods can be a really tough time for a lot of women. The troubles, the cramps, the mood swings, the fatigue can really make one scream out of frustration. The mood swings, in particular. Imagine being sad one moment and excited the next moment over almost nothing. Even after experiencing the same cycle periodically, we can't get used to it. However, there are some things that work like a warm hug to me during my periods just like magic, making me feel better. This list includes.

1. Chocolate

Chocolates do have some magical properties that can soothe pain in some magical way. They also help in relieving the stress and manage the monstrous mood swings all at the same time, while leaving us with a feeling of happiness.

2. Hot Water Bags

During period pains, hot water bags work like a charm. They have some qualities that can help relieve war going on inside the uterus while also providing great relief. Even cold ice packs can work the same way.

3. Sleep

Sleep is like therapy during periods. Getting a good sleep during the period of pain, on the other hand, is a major challenge. Periods can make for difficult evenings, but the sleep that follows is the best. Basically meaning, sleeping more is the ultimate key to resolve almost all menstrual issues.

4. Warm Baths

Nothing more soothing than taking warm baths during periods. Bathing has many great impacts on our emotions, stress levels, and more, but during periods, it also helps in easing the cramps, and what could be better than that? Just go and simply relax in your bathtub or stand beneath your warm water shower and let the water do the magic. Get ready to feel wonders. It's also a great spot to whine in our heads about all the pain we wouldn't have to deal with if we were born in a non menstruating body.

5. Validation

Something that we require a lot during periods is a lot of validation! It could come from our furry buddies (pet dogs or cats), partners, or family members or anyone. Cramps and mood swings are already exhausting, and their combination might cause us to second-guess our decisions. So receiving validation acts as a warm hug to us throughout this period.

6. Attention

A lot of care and attention is a need during periods. Not receiving it, particularly from our loved ones, results in a night or perhaps a day of crying and confusion. Let our loved ones give us the care and attention we deserve and keep giving it because no amount of attention is enough during this time.

These things help me pass the period of my periods with more ease. During the time of these uncomfortable period cramps, you should also do or use whatever provides you relief and eases your pain. If these things work for you too, it's great! You deserve all the comfort you can get during this time.
