I haven’t seen the film and to be honest, I’m not really drawn to watch it but I really appreciated this article. Thank you for sharing it. I stopped when I read that this period can feel lonely… and that part touched me deeply. I remember just wanting to be held, to hear someone say “you’re doing fine, everything’s going to be okay”. It really can be such a lonely time. I haven’t experienced the darker sides mentioned, thankfully but that sense of not being understood, I believe so many women feel that. And I just want them to know: it’s okay, we all go through ups and downs.
