Sometimes being a woman can be such a pain. The monthly period can give you all sorts of pain. Hormonal imbalance can wreck havoc on your skin. Sudden mood swings and people think you're crazy! That's why I need my me time. My alone time. My time to pamper myself.

Over the years I was able to control the mood swings. This explains the extreme exhaustion too.

Being a woman can definitely take a toll. It’s good to take time to your health in order; whether a man acknowledges that or not.

I never got any chance to rest during my periods as I was not staying alone. I was either with my parents or with my husband and children.

Even if you're with them, couldn't you have time for your own self?

I'm not a me time kind of person. I'd rather have my hubby back and be around him all the time.

And now that you don't have him, you have all the me time in the world.

But of course! More than you an imagine! That's why I said SOMETIMES. But that sometimes happens regularly. And most men don't understand women!

You are definitely right! The periods are difficult because of the pain, the hormonal changes, but let me tell you, menopause is a beast!
