Banish PMS forever! Say see-ya to mood swings

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 had a dream last night and it was about my bF holing my hand, and kissing me on the sheek. How do I tell him that I want our relashonship to be more? He said he was going to hold my hand at the skating rink but he never did. HELP!!!




Hey Girl! 

He's just taking his time! He wants to get super comfortable with you before you take your relationship further. Tell him you appreciate that he wants to get to know you better, and are okay with starting out small. Say you would love to hold his hand if he's comfortable with it. Respect his choices. If this were the other way, you would want him to be patient, too.

MOD MOD MOD! Please answer i have typed this question SO many times through out the day and im tierd of typeing it. Anyways, What are you suppose to do with the used part of your tampon when you get done with it? I know you throw the plastic tube away when you change it out but what about the used cotten ball thingy. I have always thrown mine in the toilet and flushed it but when i told my friends one of my friends said her mom did the same thing and one of them said her mom did somthing else with them. So can you just flush them down the toilet like i have been? If not what DO i do with them?
Thanks sooo much:




Hey babe,

I always have been told that it's best to just flush it.

Is it normal to have an off odor coming from "down there". I wishicould get rid foot. What kind of soap should I use..also how do I tell my mom?????
ThanksSmileSmileSmileSmileSmileSmileSmileSmileSmileSmileSmileSmileSmileSmileSmileSmileSmileSmile




Hey girlie,

Check out this article all about this stinky stuff Smile Don't worry - it's TOTALLY normal and it happens to all of us! As the article says, you probably don't need any special soaps or any extra washing "down there" - just wash with warm water and bar soap regularly to avoid the odor. And as always, cotton panties are the best for this because it lets your bod breathe!

ok 2 things:
1 i get magor pms but i dont drink caffiene is there any other way to at least get a little moody cause i get really mean and so negative about myself
2 i am thirteen and sometimes i will have my period every month for for days but then i will skip it for a month but i will have it twice the next month is this normal?

Hey girl,

It's normal to have irregular periods when you're young, but it never hurts to visit a doc to be sure. If you're having PMS, talk to your mom about taking an over-the-counter medication to ease your symptoms. And drinking extra water, exercising and eating healthy will do wonders to increase your mood, especially during your period!

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.
