Perhaps someone read the novel by the great Alexandre Dumas “Lady with Camellias”, where the heroine, courtesan Margarita Gautier, went out with either white or red camellias, noting such a witty and in a metaphorical way, their “working” and “weekend” days. Red camellias symbolized “those very days” that are associated with a woman’s physiology and which, it must be said, often pretty much ruin the lives of many ladies. And for some girls, I must admit, it would be nice to take use a similar life hack and inform your partners about a famous event in advance :) Yes, yes, many women and men notice that the most terrible scandals often happen during the so-called PMS. It is at this time that wonderful, sweet, kind girls mysteriously turn into the obnoxious Baba Yaga, vixen, bitch and similar unpleasant characters. Just yesterday you celebrated Valentine’s Day and bathed in the happiness of romantic comfort and Cupid’s arrows, but this morning you are inconsolable you cry because your boyfriend doesn’t want to watch Harry Potter with you, then it suddenly seems to you that he has stopped loving you and every little thing infuriates and irritates you. Everything is wrong for you and everything is wrong - it is about these conditions that they say “grumbles like an old woman” or “the devil pulled.” And so, by the evening you are already breaking off the relationship! Which, of course, you will regret tomorrow morning, when you turn into a kind princess again. Laugh with laughter, but many men note that a woman during such a period becomes unbearable and if these are frequent and strong manifestations, then the man often decides to break up. What to do with all this “good” that nature generously bestowed on some women?1. To begin with, accept yourself and treat your “cute” features with humor.2. Get plenty of rest on such days - and if you want to lie down and cry, wrapped in a warm blanket and do nothing, and you hate yourself for your condition and laziness - don’t scold yourself! Lie down, take a box of rafaels, a warm cozy blanket, turn on some melodrama - and cry!3. If you haven’t started one yet, then start a calendar and keep track of how your emotional state is actually connected or not connected with “these days.”4. It is imperative to go to the doctor and be examined for gynecological problems and hormonal imbalances. Perhaps the doctor will prescribe additional medications or herbal remedies that will help you maintain emotional balance. Teas with lemon balm, valerian, hawthorn and other additives are very good in these cases. In addition to medications, it would be a good idea to follow a certain diet and water regime on such days - do not eat spicy or salty foods, for example. Limit sweets.5. Warn your loved one that perhaps in the near future you will transform into an evil goddess and “bite off” his head in the evening :) This is of course a joke, but you definitely need to talk with your man about this topic. It is necessary to explain that changes in your mood on certain days are associated with your physiological characteristics, and not with your real attitude towards him. Usually men treat their women with understanding and humor during these periods, if they understand what is going on. As they say, forewarned is forearmed :))) In the end, it is imperfection and reverent attitude towards each individual’s individuality that makes relationships closer :)Can’t cope with negative emotions towards your other half?
