The dreaded time of the month. Usually I'm pretty good at dealing with it (I have friends that suffer a whole lot more than me!) but there's always that month where, for whatever reason, you just know that one week is going to feel like it's lasting a year. When that happens, the tried and tested method of laying in bed eating a copious amount of chocolate never fails. So, here's a list of 5 other things that may be as helpful as chocolate.
1. Take a bath. This one is actually medically recommended as the heat will help to relax tense muscles and relieve cramps.
2. Read embarrassing period stories on social media. Okay, so it may feel a little mean to be reading peoples embarrassing stories..but they wouldn't have posted them if they weren't meant to be read. It actually makes you feel so much better...give it a go...https://twitter.com/peri0dstories
3. Drink herbal tea. It's supposed to help...personally I don't think it helps in the slightest but I read somewhere it's supposed to?
4. Cry at sad movies. Or just cry in general. At anything. Probably do this one when you're on your own though, otherwise people may think you have gone mad when you are sat crying at an advert for toothpaste...(yes that really did happen once).
5. Scream at your uterus. This one is 100% the most effective. Ok so the cramps don't go away, but they know how much you hate them, and that feels good.
P.s when compiling this list I read that exercise is supposed to be good. So if you have the strength to start exercising with cramps, firstly, I salute you superior human, and secondly, does it work?!
