Oh, periods. We love/loathe you. Sure, in the grand scheme of things menstruation is an amazing natural phenomenon that signals our magical ability to form life. But  why in the *insert expletive here* do they have to be so annoying? Those of us who experience the monthly visitor can agree that most of the time our periods are more menacing than they are miraculous. Here are 15 period-related tweets that are way too relatable.

Of course, every person who menstruates does so in their own way. Some people experience heavier flows than others. Cramps for some people are mere pokes and prods compared to the throbbing stabs of pain others feel. And many people in this great big world only get their periods once in the blue moon, if at all.

But as different as we all are, no one particularly ~likes~ their period. It’s not always convenient to be bleeding for three to seven (sometimes more, sometimes less) days. Nor is it always fun to cycle through moods at an incredibly fast pace only to land on “full rage” or “I’m the saddest I’ve ever been” nine out of ten times. And don’t even get us started on the cravings and non-stop snacking.

Alas, all of the above is too real. But us menstruators are in this together, as the below tweets prove.

1. Huh. What a coincidence.

2. Call Aunt Flo all the endearing names you want. But we know who she ~really~ is.

3. Please respect our privacy at this time.

4. Take a seat, men. Women can function while literally knocking on death’s door.

5. ~Luvin’ lyfe~

6. Free shipping! Best offer gets it! Accepts trades!

7. When you also start bleeding out of your ears.

8. RT x infinity.

9. Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty, people.

10. If only we could draw up some sort of contractual agreement…

11. Our own personal horror film, once a month. Always a solid 93% on Rotten Tomatoes.

12. This is it, friends. Serve Cool Ranch Doritos at my funeral.

13. The only way to get from place to place when you’re on your period:

14. Some may say this is dramatic. Others may say “literally tho.”

15. Don’t you dare question us when we say “I’m staying in tonight.”

When you’re going through that time of the month, remember you have allies everywhere. You may want to scream and throw things at them, but we’ve been there and we’ll stick with you through all the #PeriodProblems.
