Banish PMS forever! Say see-ya to mood swings

  • Pad prob! How do I get them from my locker to the bathroom?
  • Have a happier period--yes, really!--with our playlist

  • What stinks down south?
Do ya get majorly moody when Aunt Flo comes to call? We feel ya. Luckily, there’s a cure for what ails ya…

 

The cause

Some girls’ hormonal changes mess with the brain’s serotonin, a hormone that improves moods. The result? A gloom ’n’ doom attitude.

 

The cure

“Avoid caffeine. It can make you a little more anxious, and that can make mood swings worse,” Dr. Hirsch says. Studies find that calcium might help prevent crankiness during PMS, so make sure you’re getting your three cups a day of dairy. Get plenty of sleep, and stay active. “Exercise will help your mood,” Dr. Hirsch adds. And it can’t hurt to warn your friends and family when PMSing—they’ll know not to take your crabby ’tude personally.

I tried my fist light tampon yesterday, got it in all the way, it was full when i took it out and it felt like i was ripping my guts out! like agonziing! I tried 4 other times and all the other times hurt, too. Should i try another brand? Like playtex sport? HELP? Why did it hurt?




It is normal for it to hurt, especially for younger girls. It hurts because you have to pull it out through all the inner shapings of your vagina which are not exactly made for foreign objects like tampons. Just keep at it and eventually your body will get used to it.

I aqm in charge of writing a play for drama club, but i have one littler problem...
WRITERS BLOCK!!!!
Do you have any tips to get my creativity flowing or any ideas on what would make a good play???? Please help!
Also I just want to say thanks for all the advice you've given me and all the other girls. You guys help SO MUCH!!!!

 

Hey girl! Even the best writers have trouble creating content at time. Sometimes, the best way to think of a storyline is to stop thinking about it so much. When I redirect my focus on something else, a great idea will come to me. You can also try writing in a different environment--try going to a local park or bookstore, if you normally write at home. Find a place that is inspiring for you...it might even be the mall! You can also use real-life instances to help spark an idea. Every good play needs some action, so try to include a twist at the end!

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
