[girls] does your period stop you doing stuff?

It keeps me from eating because I get sick to my stomach and it keeps me from hanging out with friends/bf cause I'm bitchy and usually loking for a fight :p

Some girls exaggerate I think. I mean it isn't that bad. I understand the cramping, acne, bloating, and fatigue but it shouldn't be THAT bad I mean you all deal with it, right? We all deal with it. The only thing I hate it when I can't swim and ALSO how nasty it feels when you can feel it dripping down. D; so nasty.

I hate my period. I loathe it. I can't even walk. It feels like someone stabbed me in the groin area, then in the stomach.

I get cramps only on the very first day, and that lasts for about 20 minutes at a time.
I don't like doing anything that involves getting wet, or water in general, but my period lasts only 3-4 days so staying clean isn't a huge issue. I can wait 4 days to shower.

I must press on even though it drains every bit of energy from me. I still do what I need to do, just slower. I don't get cramps too bad anymore. When I was a teenager, they were horrible. We have to tough it out ladies! There's a reason that women have to deal with this nonsense! Were so much stronger than guys when it comes to certain types of pain. It would be so funny to see a guy try to handle all that we do

I got a couple of health problems, M.E., VASGOVAGAL SYNCOPE AND POTS. And my blob-time is an absolute nightmare. I can barely stand for dizziness. The cramps are just sinister. The blood loss is insane.

So lucky are the girls who are unaffected by their time of the month! :) Wish I was one of them! :) Take Care, ladies. xxx

nah,I don´t feel pain, I just get a little moody

I get cramps for the first 2 days and 1 or 2 days before I get my period.... but it doesn't stop me from doing what I need to do. I go to the gym, I swim, I go to school. I don't call sick, never have never will. Because I'm not sick I have my period, if I call in sick every month that's a lot of days I'd be missing!
For the gym I just do go to hard, cause the first time I went to the gym when I was on my peroid I did everything I normally did and when we left the pain was so horrible, it was like someone was sticking a nife through me! those were the WORST pains I've ever had on my period! I go to the gym I just take it easy.
And swimming! I LOVE to swim or take showers when I'm on my period, it makes me feel clean, I feel so durty and gross on my period so getting wet makes me feel refreshed and clean. I go swimming (I wear a tampon obviously) and it totally takes the pain away! It's great!

It HURTS and I feel UNCOMFORTABLE!The pain is sometimes so unbearable I lie on the floor or curled in a ball because of the pain and the worst part is I get irritated so easily than and I will say whatever I want not caring how the person feels but than afterwards I feel reaaaaaaally bad and I cry for no reason and crave the strangest things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lets just say that time of the month is not my favourite!

My period literally cripples me. I've had to deal with it for years, even birth control did not help. On a scale of 1-10, the pain is at about 20. It happens on the first day and sometimes the pain carries onto the second day. It has affected me at work and a lot of other places. Some people think I just can't handle minor cramps but if I took a knife to their guts they might know how I feel. That's how bad it is.

One time it was so painful I could not even move. My friend whose a boy thinks girls have it easier because all we have to worry about are periods and guys have to worry about facial hair. WTF? HE IS SOOO DAMN LUCKY WE DONT LIVE ON THE SAME COUNTRY!

Yeah.. it prevents me from receiving oral sex which SUCKS.. (not in a good way)

It prevents me from wearing white pants.

Not really.At most it just makes me realllllyyy tired (more than normal).I tend to avoid social situations during the moody parts of my period as I know I'll just walk away from them paniced and insecure.

the cramps really blow. =/

I kind of like my period in some ways. I get really horny, and my boobs get bigger. It can be fun until the bloating, cramps and gushing blood happen. =/ Otherwise I like it.

When I'm on I just get a little bloated, but no cramps or spots or anything. I only got cramps on my first one like ten years ago an they were sooo bad!!

i got my period on my 13th birthday and had the WORST cramps i could barelt walk. now they are not so bad but i NEVER swim in a public pool with my period. NEVER. My twelfth birthday was easily my WORST. ( had a really big party with all my friends and then i couldnt go . i missed out on my own party. (sort-of) well i couldn't co swimming so i sat on the edge of the pool with my feet ibn the water.

The pain is usually unbearable. It spreads to my entire body and it feels like all of my muscles are cramping all at once. :(

i never even feel it

It doesn't affect me really, sometimes I get some cramps on the 1st day and my period only last about 4 days. The only thing I don't wana do is have sex lol

everyones is diffrent some girls get them really bad and others arnt too bad, mine are ok most of the time coz i take loads of painkiller but sometimes theyre so bad i cant hardly walk x

before my period starts (two days before), it defeats me in a lot of things, it hurt me so bad once, I almost started crying and no one understood. But now its getting better.

if my cramps are super painful.

I always get horrible cramps! It hurts to do anything at all, but I try to ignore the pain and do things I would normally do.

it makes me feeel, like im the fattest person alive. i mean i hate, if fofoin suucks. i craave pickles over bannas allott. and my chihuahuas dont do anything about it. like serriiously? D;

I just keep going despite my period.

It messes up my diet. I hate it, really.

i'm lucky cuz when i've got my period , i can do whatever i want...the only difference is that i've got a swollen belly

Geeeeeez!!! How nightmarish it is to be female!

Other (Add a comment I'm a guy I don't get period.

Thank god I'm a guy.

When I'm on my period (keep in mind I've only recently got it) I just get lazyyyy. I'm always tired and don't feel like doing anything, and I'm cranky as all get out.
So yes. Blame mother nature.

other as in im just a guy wtf am I doing here! XD

I stay at home and can't sleep because of pain i do but after 6 hours , i feel this on the 1st day the second is less but the 3rd i don't feel anything but tired or exhausted

Well it use to not but now that I stopped using tampons I cant go to the pool/beach while on it lol

Not usually I just go through with the pain.

My periods don't hold me back for the simple reason I just have to get on with it ie working and family comitments ect despite the fact that occasionally I'm literally doubled up. I can't lay in bed or on the couch for a few days each month.Life goes on and the world still turns because it has to. xx

it certainly is bloody!i'll tell you that

i usually get really bad cramps for a day or two before, and for the first few days of my period. And it sucks because for some reason I can't swallow pills .. fml ._. But being a girl still powns ♥

The first day is the worst. Once I fainted. So yeah being unconscious keeps you from doing much.

Fun fact: most sickdays women take are due to PMS

Actually I exercise more during my period. It helps with the cramps for a little bit. Walking and running helps too.

Only sex but I find that vigorous exercise helps, besides I swim for college so even it hurt I'd have to suck it up

Well since I take birth control, it counters the hurt for me :)

Period doesnt affect me at all. I feel kinda lucky after reading all these comments :/

Ok, I am a guy but my ex-wife told me that sex helped her with her period cramps...

u can really tell when im on as i get really moody bitchy quite ect..... i sometimes get really bad cramps ect sometimes it would remind me if i was constapated really badly i think guys get it easy

The first day I don't want to move or anything, just curl up...

After that I'm a-ok the rest of the week! :D

I think it's mostly because a lot of girls are lacking the stamina to do anything other than the menial stuff. Then feel heavier and bloated so carrying their own wait can become tiresome. But worse when you're still new to it, like the first couple of years, but it gets easier to deal with when you're older.

when i was a teenager, horrible excruciating cramps. now it's just knock out exhaustion but i drink energy drinks go girl, wired, rock star otherwise i am too tired to even think straight.

It stops me from working out and going places sometimes. I hate to be hot on my cycle, not a good feeling. It stops me from cleaning up and it stops me from walking sometimes. I know weird. Once I'm off it's workout time.

I have it bad when i piss its not yellow its blood i am in and out A+E all the time its cripples me really painful it hurts right now i was in hospital my bday that was on new years day and on xmas day its sooo bad for me

The first day-ONLY for me. It gets so bad that sometimes I cry..and then I take Midol..Midol knocks it right out for me. Thanks Midol. After Midol, I dont get any cramps or uncomfy feelings and I can go on with my day :) and of course I stick to tamps so I get to do waaaay more things than dealing with pads...ugh :/

It depends if I take peroid pain pills I can pretty ,much function like normal however if I don't i can't do anything but sleep

my periods generally stop me for the first day but after that im ok to do any thing. A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G

Its painful.....I realy hate it.;$....But its good for girls...so I think its normal
