By Holly • Nov 26, 2014 MD

Unfortunately, you already know how periods feel, but seeing some GIFs that understand your pain can help you cheer up during that time of the month. No woman wants to spend a week in pain, but it's something we all have to deal with. We may not be able to stop our bodies from torturing us, but we can at least laugh about it all. Here are some silly GIFs that show exactly how periods feel:

1. Cravings

Cravings You're going to crave certain foods during your time of the month. If you're on a diet or trying to eat healthy, your period will urge you to have a few cheat days. Your body wants that chocolate and isn't going to stop bothering you until it gets it. Being hungry all day, every day is how periods feel, and there's nothing we can do to stop it--well, except eat.

2. Regrets

Regrets Let's face it, we can get a bit emotional on our periods. That's why it's the perfect time for us to think about our lives and every single thing that's wrong with our career and relationships. If you're single or unemployed, now is the time to cry about it. Everyone will understand, so you don't have to be embarrassed about it.

3. Naps

Naps Who wants to get out of their comfy, safe, warm bed when there's no school or work to run off to? If you have the day off, you won't want to leave your room. There's no reason to do so, unless you're heading to the bathroom or to get that donut you've been craving. There's nothing wrong with staying in your PJs all day, so go for it.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

4. Responsibilities

Responsibilities You're in too much pain to focus on the big test you have tomorrow. You know you need to study, but you just can't bring yourself to do it. Instead of being productive, you'll shed a few tears about how you wish you were doing something useful. Once you calm down, you'll realize that the test material isn't all that difficult to memorize.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

5. Crushes

Crushes Your hormones go crazy during that time of the month, so you're on the lookout for cute boys. When you see one, it might be difficult to keep your cool. You just want to run over to him and start your happily ever after, but you force yourself to admire him from afar. No sense in embarrassing yourself today.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

6. Tears

Tears You're feeling bloated, lonely, and just plain miserable. You want to hide away, but you're stuck in the office or in a classroom full of people. You wish you could just crawl under your desk to escape from it all, because you couldn't be in a worse mood.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

7. Cramps

Cramps Emotional pain isn't the only type that we have to deal with. The physical pain can be just as horrible, and for some women, cramps are the worst part of any period. Even if your emotions are stable, it's hard to keep calm when your uterus feels like it's being torn apart.

No one has a fun time on their period. It's not something we look forward to, but it's something we have to deal with, so we have to get used to it. What's your least favorite part about your time of the month?

    The fact that my BFF and my periods have synced does not help. We both get crazy at the same time (right exactly now!)!!!!!
