Stage one: The constant hunger following you around everywhere you go, daring you to pass up the bowl of ice cream contently sitting on the counter. It mocks you as you stare at it, wondering if you should take it or not- then the hormones get the best of you; one bowl turns into two, two into three, and soon you find yourself in front of a mirror wondering how your face got so chubby.

Stage two: The amount of mood swings you have in ten minutes could drive you and your family insane. One minute you're laughing hysterically, and the next you're drowning in a pool of sorrow. 

Stage three: The worries get the best of you. Painful memories, tears, doubts about life catch up to you, sending you to the brink. Absurd thoughts race through your mind without any time to adjust. You feel like a burden to the world, every word you hear pieces you in the heart, leaving only a wound that never fully healed..

Then the menunstration begins and ends, and you can only enjoy the time ou have left as your next cycle awaits.
