As a man of many previous girlfriends, most of the time they took iron tablets and calcium tablets to reduce the flow, and the pain.

Others tended to take birth control pills, but it can screw with your hormones and mental balance. Not to mention screw up your cycles if you decide to have kids later.

Always best to speak to your GP if you're having constant heavy/painful periods. There are a couple of (easily curable) health conditions that can cause it. Also, some STI's can cause it too.

I cry and start fights with my friends. It's just awful. But the healthier way is hot showers, heating pad, and massages help me self soothe and relax. Maybe it will work for you too.

My period is so awful. It magnifies my mental health issues and everything seems more painful than it really is. I usually have to call off of work or school and stay in bed.

Hope you feel better. Here's some virtual chocolate 🍫

OK, all seriousness aside... wait, no! ... I mean joking aside :) ...

I always try to stick with the holistic approach. A professional massage for that purpose and a heating pad will help

I isolate myself, ignore everybody and dont want to talk much, hide the fact that i am on my period because i dont want anyone to care much it is sweet, but annoying. I get really quiet and dont want to eat anything except ice cream, but i eat anyway so thay i won't pass out.

I take a hot shower
Dress in pj, hoodie or workout clothes
Eat
Drink tea all the time because my body is cold
Watch series, sleep a lot
