10 Very Emotional Stages Of Having Your Period

10. The (Not So) Calm Before The Storm

Around 90% of menstruating women suffer from the hormone-induced condition, PMS. If you didn't know already, that's short for premenstrual syndrome - not potential murder suspect, pass my shotgun, or psychotic mood swings.

Wondering whether or not you fall into that small ten percent? Try asking a partner, housemate, or family member to accidentally knock some food out your hand when you're not expecting it. Ask them to rate your negative reaction on a scale of one to ten. If you live alone, see how much you cry at this. If your bedroom looks like the set of Titanic - you have your answer.
