A week before getting the period, a woman might feel different than her other usual days. They may get mood swings, be anxious, depressed, sleepy, feel heavy or bloated, or have tender breasts.

The months of unshed tears sitting in the inner corners of my eyes begin to swell, readily trickling itself down the sides of my cheeks and forcing my lips to uncontrollably quiver.
