Although I am still waiting for my periods, I realised last week that I am putting too much pressure on myself by thinking about a specific date by when it will all kickstart. Of course, this creates expectations and therefore unncessary stress.

However, it's not easy to accept and understand that's where the stress is coming from so you need to go through the process for yourself. I suppose it's a discovery phase.

To cope with this so called "stressful period", I have put in place a set of actions which are the following:

• organise another acupuncture session
• organise distraction - luckily, my 6year old niece is over for a week and she offers plenty of distraction and there are also my friends who look after me
• started taking the herbal mix which was prescribed by my nutrition specialist

I am sure I am doing the right thing and hopefully, it would not be too long anymore.
