im so embarassed about my period?

I'm absolutely terrified of my period and embarassed. I feel gross, uncomfortable around people, and so sad during my period. And it hurts too. My belly hurts during my period and I feel so achy and tired and miserable and embarassed. I was in school and I realized I had my period and the flow was heavy and I got blood all over the seat and my teacher gave me a weird look and so did people in my class and I had to walk around with blood all over my butt. I hate my period as it causes many problems emotionally and physically. Why does this happen to me? How can I feel more confident about my period ? Please help :/

    Getting on the pill will lighten your periods dramatically and should stop the cramps a lot. If your stomach is upset just eat crackers and drink some 7-up or Sprite. Taking ibuprofin wilk also help. And if you bled at class just remember that some day those people won't matter anymore. Stay strong and I hope you feel better soon. And you don't have to be sexually active to be on the pill.

  • You might want to get the longer pads (the ones that are used to wear at night) if you're having a problem with a heavy flow/leaking. As for the pain, consult your doctor. There are some meds you can get over the counter at a pharmacy like CVS or something. You can try Midol. Its specifically formulated to help with the symptoms of a period. Aleve also is a good option.
