Hey luna when im on my period my hormones go haywire and often I talk back when im on my period bc of them I don’t mean it but when I do my parents shout at me even louder and then I always cry I can’t help it but the problem is my mum don’t even understand and she goes through the same thing it ruins me and makes me feel like my parents don’t try to understand subjects like that I just wish they understand Becuse it’s obvious when im on my period they just don’t bother to learn and decide to shout it makes me feel awful and lonely in my family I can’t even tell them secrets Becuse I know they will tell people.
Hey hey 🌸 It can be really tough when our hormones are all over the place during our periods, and it's even harder when the people around us don't understand what we're going through. It's important to remember that your feelings are valid, and it's okay to express them. However, it's also important to try to communicate with your parents in a calm and respectful way, even if they're not doing the same.
Maybe you could try talking to your mum privately about how you're feeling, and see if she can help you explain it to your dad. It might also be helpful to find some coping strategies for when you're feeling overwhelmed, like taking deep breaths or going for a walk. And remember, you're not alone! There are lots of people who understand what you're going through, including luna 💖
