Women can be disabled before, during and after their periods.
Priscilla Lubin, the founder of My Cycle and Methrow it Bullet Menstrual Cycle Special Diary. This new concept allows women who suffer from their period to organize their life around the four phases of their menstrual cycle. “With one objective: to optimize each phase of the menstrual cycle to find a smile on a daily basis”, says Priscilla Lubin.
Premenstrual syndrome
the Bullet Diary is a tool for all women, but also for young girls, for those who have irregular or non-existent periods, for those who want to become mothers or not at all, for those who suffer from a classic premenstrual syndrome or severe and finally to transgender people who want to be able to follow their cycle on a regular basis.
Women can be disabled during their period, but not only. Thus, generally 2 to 7 days before menstruation, 70% of people affected by them experience physical and emotional symptoms known as “premenstrual syndrome”: the lower abdomen swells, fatigue is more intense, mild cramps appear in the uterus, headaches can occur… Most of the time, these unpleasant ailments remain bearable. But in 20 to 30% of cases, they are so strong that they have an impact on daily life.
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD)
When the psychological symptoms become very marked, going as far as depression or anxiety, we then speak of Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Women who are affected live a real ordeal each month, which can last up to almost two weeks: physical pain, anxiety, extreme fatigue, panic attacks, anger, irritability, crying spells…
“A powerful lever of empowerment”
If the exact causes of these different phenomena are still unknown, the people who experience them are often distraught, not knowing exactly when these disabling disorders will occur.
“Knowing when your period is coming and when all the phases of the cycle occur revolutionizes the management of everyday life. Because no one likes to burst into tears without knowing what is going on… When you have the right tool, it It becomes very easy to learn to manage premenstrual syndrome and the stress that surrounds it, but also to become master of one’s emotions. It is therefore a powerful lever for empowerment!”, explains Priscilla Lubin, herself suffering from PMDD. “That’s why the Bullet Diary was designed as a life companion to take everywhere with you. Cyclic rather than linear, it is more than just a simple diary!”, concludes the inventor.
