Dear women

You know those days when it feels like your life is meaningless, you have no friends (even when you obviously do), and some things are so stressful and overwhelming that you cannot possibly handle them? You feel like you might cry at the drop of hat, you fight back tears at various points during the day, and when you get home finally can't hold them back any longer. And then you start your period the next day and none of these things are actually true. Why do we have to go through this?
