I usually get more emotional. I find myself getting upset over little things and being on the verge of tears a lot of the time. I'm having it at the moment. I'm very sensitive. Not fun!

yep. for sure it's never fun when having your period. you can't do lots of things. and just like you, i am more emotional, too. i don't know why we are like that. but i am glad to know that i am not alone.

yes this happens to me every month - I have mood swings like you would not believe. I get really angry, then really sad, really happyetc, all within a few minutes. I think it is a royal pain - I cannot begin to imagine what people around me think of it.

I rarely have mood swings but when I do, watch out! LOL. I should be moodier because I cramp so bad but nope not really! I am not overly emotional either. Just the same ole same ole as any other day. Guess I am one of the lucky ones. I do become a bit reclusive, I HATE to go anywhere when I am on my period, scared of accidents.

I can ohnestly say that I have no periods but I do have the mood swings and I have the pain also sometimes but I think my body still goes threw the motion of the periods.

usually, i have mood swings three or two days before my period. i get easily irritated about everything. but when i am already having my period, my mood is stable unlike others.

Yes, I am always having very bad mood swings during my period. It gets ridiculous sometimes, how angry I can get.

It is only natural for women to be irritable and sensitive when the monthly periods come. In fact, the mood swings are experienced somedays before the onset of it and till a day or two after it is gone. The biological changes in a woman when the period takes place cause this to happen all the time.
