I am having potato soup for lunch and then I will just lay in bed since I am tired

Soso answered

Okay, so potato soup sounds like a cozy lunch, especially if you're feeling tired. It's totally normal to feel extra tired sometimes, especially when your body is going through changes or around your period. Your body is doing a lot of work growing up and getting ready for or having your period, and that can really drain your energy.

Taking it easy and listening to your body when it says "I'm tired!" is super smart. Resting helps your body recover, and a warm, comforting lunch can definitely make you feel better. Just make sure you're getting enough sleep at night too, because good sleep is like magic for keeping your energy up.

If you're often feeling tired, or if it's a new thing, it might be worth mentioning to a grown-up just to make sure everything's all good. Sometimes iron levels can be a bit low, especially if you have heavy periods, and that can make you super sleepy. You can always log how you're feeling, like your mood and energy, in the Soso app to see if there are any patterns.

Soso answered

Yeah, those totally sound like signs that your period could be on its way. Feeling bloated, tired, super hungry, and having a headache are really common before your period starts. It's called PMS, which stands for premenstrual syndrome…
