About the book >.>.> When I first learnt about the menstrual cycle as a nine-year-old girl I was delighted to discover that my first period would mean that I would become a woman. “Great” I thought “people will start treating me like a grown-up and I will have more freedom”. I craved to be listened to and to be allowed to make my own decisions instead of constantly being told what to think and feel and do. My first bleed came and went just before I turned 13 but it was a total non-event I was still treated like a child not the respected woman I longed to be. Nothing changed. I was utterly disappointed. This is not much fun I disliked the discomfort of menstruating and I could find no solution to the period pain and heavy bleeding that plagued me for many years from that point onwards. As if that weren’t enough to contend with. I always felt tossed around on an ever-changing ocean of physical mental and emotional changes that seemed random and uncontrollable. Premenstrually I was stressed irritable and difficult to be around. The whole damn thing was something I just had to endure. I never wanted to be premenstrual or to have my bleed. (LL)
