Emotional Days🩸

There’s a very specific version of me that shows up 3–5 days before my period.

I’m sensitive
I’m reactive
I’m suddenly remembering things from 2019
I’m starting arguments that don’t make sense once the hormones leave the chat

And the wild part?

In those moments, I genuinely think I’m being logical
But I’m not.

I’m fighting a losing battle between logic and hormones, and hormones are louder.

This is what I call period crumbs.

Not full chaos.
Just enough emotional residue to ruin a calm and peaceful day 😮‍💨

Let’s clear something up 👀

Being emotional around your cycle doesn’t mean you’re:

• dramatic

• unstable

• “too much”

• hard to deal with

It means your body is louder
Your nervous system is sensitive
And your tolerance for nonsense is low

That’s not weakness.
That’s biology.

The problem isn’t the emotions.
It’s expecting yourself to operate like normal when you’re not.

So here’s how I stopped sabotaging my own peace ✨

(This applies whether you’re single or in a relationship.)

⭐ 1. Awareness = power

Once you notice
“okay… it’s those 3–5 days,”
everything shifts

You stop blaming yourself
You stop forcing logic

Instead, you move into:

• extra compassion 🤍

• extra rest 😮‍💨

• less pressure

• slower responses

• softer communication

You’re not weak.
You’re managing your state.

⭐ 2. If you’re in a relationship, say it early

Not mid-argument.
Not when you’re emotional.
Before it starts ⏳

Something like:

If you’re with a man,
he’s already been on this path with you,
even if he didn’t have the words.

Context prevents unnecessary conflict

⭐ 3. Don’t have deep conversations those days

Seriously 😭

Those aren’t:

• problem-solving days

• decision-making days

Those are:

• rest days

• quiet days

If you feel triggered, say:

That sentence saves so much energy 😮‍💨

⭐ 4. Pause before reacting

When you feel the wave rising 🌊
pause.

Breathe.
Step away.

Hormonal reactions fade fast when you don’t feed them.

“Let It All Work Out” – Lil Wayne

This song feels like surrender 😮‍💨
Not giving up, just letting things move without forcing reactions.

Final truth 🖤

Your period doesn’t make you irrational.
It makes you more sensitive and more honest 🩸

The goal isn’t to suppress it.
It’s to work with your cycle, not against it.

Once you do,
you protect your peace 🤍
