Emotions During Menstruation
Understand how emotions change during menstruation and what you can do as a partner.
The hormonal low of menstruation — both estrogen and progesterone at their minimum — directly affects the serotonin system. This explains heightened emotional sensitivity, crying without obvious reason, and the desire for withdrawal. Emotional support without judgment is the most valuable thing you can offer as a partner in this phase.

You feel something is changing.
You often feel it, but not always in words.
The problem is not the feeling itself, but having to explain it again and again or not feeling truly heard.
With Relara, you do not have to explain yourself all the time. You can connect with your partner, and he gets insight into what you are feeling now.
→ prompts that help you process your emotions
→ clarity about why everything feels so intense
→ a way for him to understand — without blame
You are not too much. You are allowed to feel understood.
Start for yourself and let him understand you better.
