I get really manic when I'm overtired or when my period starts. Hyper-productivity and chattiness and whatnot. I can practically hear my uterus saying, "Sup! You think you're in a good mood right now? Enjoy it because next comes the cramps and the tit pain and the swelling and bloating and the insistent need to pee and the tears and the desire to kill EVERYONE and the elevator scene from The Shining!"
That being said, I like that companies like Diva Cup are trying to rebrand menstrual cycles and make periods a positive thing where women are encouraged to honour their bodies and see fertility as an amazing gift. It reminds me of my grade twelve women's history teacher.
