Hi, feeling everything boil over at home around your period can be exhausting 💛

Hormone changes around periods can cause strong emotions and mood swings, sometimes as part of PMS (premenstrual syndrome), so it makes sense that things may feel harder to control at that time.

Your feelings are valid, and being shouted at can leave you feeling awful and lonely.

When things are calm, you could talk privately to one parent about how your emotions change around your period, how shouting affects you, and how you’d like them to support you.

If you feel comfortable, you could also explain that sharing your secrets with other people has hurt your trust, and set a boundary about keeping private things private.

Even if they’re upset, trying to explain yourself calmly and respectfully may help them hear what you’re saying.

When you feel overwhelmed, taking deep breaths or going for a walk could help, and tracking your moods may help you spot triggers around your period 🫶

You could also talk to a supportive friend, teacher, or trusted adult so you don’t have to carry this alone.

If these emotions are becoming hard to cope with or are really affecting your life or relationships, speak to a doctor for more personal support.
