Are women more emotional while on their period?

Question

Like will they cry easier or become upset over smaller things?

Hormone changes are a bitch. I certainly don't envy women the struggle they go through as their hormones cycle.
Some women adamantly reject the idea that hormone changes can make them emotional, or irrational. Like making believe that being human, being sapient, means we have mastery over these things, and aren't just animals. But we are, indeed, just animals, and hormones control almost everything. Our bodies are built on very specific biochemistry.

Yes, most women suffer an emotional shift during their period. For some, that shift can be intense enough that they may seem irrational, manic, bipolar, etc.
Seems senseless to hold that against them in any way though.

Some yes, some no. It is really on the individual, their body and many other factors. Some women can control their emotions easier than others. I see it daily. But anywho, I am not impacted that much on my period. For me, I may in some odd instances cry more easy and my body can get a bit achey but that is about it.

Some do not all. My period doesn't affect me much, no cramps, no bloating, no emotional roller coaster etc. I get a lot more hornier when it comes near my period and during but I think almost all women get more horny during period

I'm certainly more irritable but that might just be because of the constant pain.

Yes because bc hormones are all over the place.

desidoll · Answer

Yes I didn't notice it until my boyfriend told me that once in a month I behave strangely, easily irritated by certain things. I figured that it comes a few days before my period. So yes it does affect some women.

I tend to get upset much easier while on my period. Things that wouldn't normally bother me may make me cry. I also tend to focus on the negatives when on my period

For me it's sometimes, but for some reason my senses are extra sensitive. For expamle, last week I could smell every thing around me it was so intense i had to take a break from work and sit down and take deep breathes through my mouth.
