How close do you think my period is? The major rhings: Ive been randomly feeling sick, ive been randomly getting upset about nothingg, and i usually get reslly itchy

Soso answered

Okay, so feeling randomly sick, getting upset over nothing, and being itchy can all be signs that your period is coming or that your hormones are doing their thing. It sounds like your body is going through some changes!

When your period is getting ready to start, or even sometimes just when you're going through your cycle, your hormones are literally all over the place. That's why you can feel cranky or super sensitive, and some people even feel a little sick or tired. The itching one is less common but can happen with hormonal shifts too, or maybe it's just a coincidence and something else is making you itchy.

What you can do

  • Keep track of your symptoms: Pay attention to when these feelings happen and how strong they are. The Soso app lets you log your mood, energy, and other symptoms so you can start seeing your own patterns. You might notice they pop up around the same time each month.
  • Be kind to yourself: If you're feeling upset, it's okay. Your hormones are doing their job, and sometimes that job makes us feel a bit wobbly. Take a break, do something you like, or talk to a grown-up you trust about how you're feeling.
  • Hydrate and rest: Drinking enough water and getting good sleep can help your body deal with all the changes and can sometimes make these symptoms less intense. Make sure you're eating proper meals too.

If these feelings are super intense, like you can't go to school or do your normal stuff because you feel so sick or sad, it's a good idea to chat with a trusted grown-up. They can help you figure out if there's anything else going on, or just give you extra support. If you want to find out roughly when your period is coming, there's a quiz on this site: [how close is my first period?](https://www.sosoapp.com.br/en/quizzes/how-close-is my-first-period)

Soso answered

Headaches can totally sneak up on you for lots of reasons, so it's hard to say for sure if it's a period headache or from the storm and hot tub, especially since you already know those things can give you headaches. But period headaches…
