My husband and I have been trying for almost 2 years now and I'm finding it more and more difficult to deal with that time of the month. The disappointment, pain of cramps, tiredness and hormones creates a perfectly awful storm. Yesterday I cried at work out of nowhere, and today I have asked to take a day of leave because when I woke up I couldn't think about getting up and ready for work without crying again. I just told my boss a generic 'not feeling well' as don't really want to get into the topic with them!
I feel kind of pathetic/ridiculous now for not being able to cope with this when some people are going through terrible things like major illness or grief and still manage to get through their days at work.
Just wondering if anyone else feels the same way or has any tips to deal.
