Emotional Before Menstrual Cycle, How Do You Care For This? - Dr. Dae (VIDEO)

Dr. Dae:

There is emotional pain that sometimes women have and so when I think of pain, I just don’t think about body pain, but I also think about their emotional pains. So they may be having anxiety or depression or they may be more irritable prior to their periods. And so, during the second half after ovulation, before they actually have a flow, that’s really an emotional time where we’re unconsciously evaluating what we are getting in our lives like, as we as women, are we meeting our goals? What we want, what’s important to us, are those things happening in our lives? And if those things are not happening, we may have emotional pain, as I call it, but you might not feel as good or feel very emotional or weepy or cry at the sharp, you know, the commercials on TV.

So, we need to kind of also think about those kinds of issues and what kinds of things do we need to do to kind of help support us getting what we want to have in our lives. And then that kind of balances out some of the emotional pain that women have as well.
