It's like on my left side and I just feel meh

Okay so, when you say it's on your left side and you feel "meh," that kinda sounds like a cramp, especially if you're close to your period or already have it. Cramps don't always feel the same and they can be on one side sometimes, like a dull ache or a pressure, and just make you feel generally not great.

What it feels like

Cramps are those aches you get in your lower belly and sometimes your back or even down your legs. They happen because your uterus is contracting, which is like a muscle squeezing to shed its lining during your period. Sometimes it's a super strong ache and sometimes it's just a mild one that makes you feel a bit tired and off.

What you can do about it

To feel better, you could try putting a warm water bottle or a heating pad on your belly. Sometimes moving around helps, even just a little walk, or doing some gentle stretches. Taking a warm bath can be nice too. If it's really bothering you, you can ask a grown-up if you can take some pain medicine, like ibuprofen, but always check with them first!

If the pain is super bad, like you can't do your normal stuff, or if you're worried about how you're feeling, it's always a good idea to tell a trusted grown-up so they can help you figure it out.
