okay yes. 100% normal. and honestly so annoying.
your hormones are doing a whole rollercoaster thing right before your period — feeling extra teary, snappy, or just "off" for no reason. that's pms, and honestly, almost everyone who gets a period has been there.
it usually kicks in about a week before and calms down once your period actually starts. sleep, moving your body, and not being too hard on yourself when you're feeling it all helps more than you'd think.
if it ever feels really intense, like properly hard to manage, that's worth mentioning to a trusted adult or doctor.
you're not overreacting. you're not "too much." it's just your body's rhythm doing its thing 💙
