    You are not alone...i also feel like shit during my period ...it's like i can only focus on those things i am insecure about and everything looks bad on me.... But i feel better after it is over. Also your skin looks so good 😍 and your soundtrack adds something special to your videos, i love it!!! Kisses.

    once I tried to make a spreadsheet to document all sorts of things that might be hormonal related (like: is that one week of the month where I keep churning out spotify playlists around the same time of every month?) but that did not last for me. and felt kinda weird (data-ify everything!). But! I think it is so important and exciting and helpful to be aware of how our hormones can affect us so much, and how different that is going to look like for everyone on a monthly hormonal cycle. I said this in another comment, but it was really helpful for understanding my own mental health to learn about pre-menstrual depressive disorder (PMDD). At the same time, there was an adjustment period where I had to remind myself that not *every* time I felt off in some way could be traced back to hormones. There are so many factors that influence how we feel! Identifying them can be so helpful, but sometimes just focusing on the factors that make you feel better is the best way to spend your energy. Like taking an L and going to bed, looking forward to a fresh start come the next sunrise! Lots of thought fodder in this vid

    I am right on track with those nasty thoughts 2 days prior to my cycle too, glad I'm not the only one! But I'm finding more that it's great to know because I recognize why it's happening, and know that it's not because it's true.

    • @jessmarshall664

    I can relate! Every time before my period I suddenly feel a lot more shitty about my body. Suddenly I hate my hair, my nails, how clothes fit and I feel the opposite of confident, and then usually it passes

Something I love about watching your videos it that you are so honest with us and truly yourself. A lot of the things you talk about are so reassuring for me because with covid going on I’m sure like everyone I just feel so alone. It’s nice to know other people like you for example think and experience similar things ♥️

I’ve heard mixed reviews about the book but so far the stuff about hormones has honestly been an interesting read.

    I hate the way hormones impact my emotions, it almost makes me feel like I'm not my own person, if that makes sense? This completely uncontrolable thing has so much influence over me and the way I act, but it actually has nothing to do with who I am/want to be (well I guess it inevitably does, but I don't want it to, men don't have to deal with this). And I know there isn't really any use thinking about this and it gets better after a while and obviously period are normal and natural, but I guess I'm just venting a bit.
    Love the video though :)

      I’m with you girl. It’s such a struggle. I feel like it robs one week of my life every month.

      I really feel this. Especially the first few years after starting my period, I felt like it was ruining my life. Or that I could get 'on track' for a couple weeks then my hormones would make me slip and it felt so uncontrollable, painful to the point of passing out or puking, and my moods were the most unstable. I recently found Organic Olivia's podcast with Alisa Vitti and they talked about how afab bodies have two rhythms: circadian and infradian (monthly menstrual cycle), while amab just have circadian. People w periods are forced to live in a society that caters to the male body: in scientific research esp health, wellness, medicine etc; in work and the 24 hour clock, our hyper-productive mindset; thru our pervasive (mis)education. Like, what we're told about our bodies is incorrect and outdated. We should not be in this much pain, we shouldn't have to feel at the whim of our hormones and suffer every month. When we listen to our bodies and our natural rhythm (infradian), tailor our foods and workouts to certain kinds at certain times, factor in REST, we feel more like we should. We feel good. Because our hormones affect every part of our selves! Mood, immune system, energy, creativity. If you can, please listen to the pod (open.spotify.com/episode/0zGsSa5MhsNK8v2esSaYdq?si=FabyP-FQSVCQJvGpO0He2w) or read Vitti's book, In the Flo. They go more in depth if you're interested. I spent so many years feeling just like your comment and you do not have to. It is a natural and normal thing and there's so much power and potential in it too. I hope you feel more like you soon :) xo
      reading this back sounds kinda sponsory but I promise it's not lmao, this is just truly lifechanging info

    Take a look into PMDD r.e. cycles and self-image. It really helped put into perspective the hormonal hell going on within many ovulating women, and made me feel a little less guilty for my obsession with naps :)
