Do you think that periods really affect your level of irritability? Or that women just use it as an excuse to be pissy?

Question

Accepted Answer

No, it is actual science that periods affect mood and emotions. What I do notice is that some men actually use the periods and the bad moods as an excuse to not be held accountable for their shitty attitudes. For example, your boyfriend says something totally rude and you get upset about it and he immediately says something like, "you're being sensitive because you have your period." Like they take it as a free pass to say whatever the fuck they want and blame it on our periods.

Just kidding lol but seriously, it's science. Everyone reacts to hormones differently.

Answer

I never realize I’m being pissy, I just think my SO is being extra annoying. And then I open my app and I’m like “it all makes sense. Sorry babe”

Answer

oh man my last period, I was cramping so hard and i was just so angry at my boyfriend for no reason ( probably because i was jealous he doesn't have to go through this) i had to calm myself down lol i think it's just because we're in so much pain sometimes and it makes us angry because 1. we're in pain and 2. sometimes medicine doesn't work so we get frustrated

Answer

Control yourself 😂 on my period if I am even remotely civil I am controlling myself.

Answer

My mood swings happen occasionally throughout my period every day. When I'm being irrational I can tell I'm being irrational but if I tried explaining what goes through my head while on my period, my boyfriend would think I'm nuts.

Answer

im not affected when im on my period more so a few days prior. my patients runs thin very quickly and i get super annoyed at things that usually wouldnt bother me. Hence why youll never catch me grocery shopping during that time because id probably run someone over with my cart lol. During my period im back to myself.

Answer

Yes it does!! Pcos I have and finally realized why I was always in so much pain during my periods. I had to stay in bed for 3 days because of how bad it was.

Answer

I think a lot of women use it as an excuse to be however they want. then get mad when people make period comments. well act like a civil human. it's not everyone else's fault you're bleeding and getting mad. self control. even on my worst period day I don't use it as an excuse to just be mad at people. that's immature and periods are just a part of life. even when I did a non medicated birth I didn't yell at anyone. not their fault. I had self control. go scream into a pillow and cry, but why take it out on someone else?
