It’s a little confusing, because it doesn’t actually mean that PMS is not a real disease. What it means is that, in the words of one Jezebel writer, women are “being told that they have PMS as a sort of convenient excuse for their moods, which aren’t particularly agreeable.”

Um, I don’t know about you girls, but for me, PMS has always been a very real syndrome that has nothing to do with me making excuses for my moody behavior. While I can completely understand how it can be used as an easy out, I know it can always be something you can’t control. I’ve dealt with so many horrible PMS symptoms that are exhausting. So, here are 10 ways you can tell I’m not faking my PMS. I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to relate:

I suddenly start breaking out as much as a 12-year-old boy.

I feel depressed. Not just sad, but legitimately depressed, like I need to see a therapist.

Source: Tumblr

Then I get angry over nothing. Look at me the wrong way and I’ll probably kill you.

Source: Tumblr

Then I go back to being sad and start crying over everything, including commercials and also my cat’s cute face.

Source: Tumblr

I have cramps that make me feel like I’m giving birth to an invisible baby.

Source: Tumblr

Oh, and the bloating. For a week, I feel like a balloon.

Source: Tumblr

And don’t forget about the headaches. The constant, pounding headaches.

Source: Tumblr

I’m so tired I could fall asleep standing up.

Source: Tumblr

Plus, I start fighting with my boyfriend over every little thing just because… well, I don’t know why. 

Source: Tumblr

Last but not least, I want to eat everything. Like literally everything. I’m not kidding.

Boobs are like a never-ending science project and we mark their progress over the years in a mental notebook while wearing a smile or a frown. I know that I’ve had my fair share of boob angst (let’s just say mine aren’t small, at all, whatsoever…okay they’re pretty damn large), and it can be a real pain buying clothes that fit them. But in the long run it doesn’t really matter if we love them or hate them because chances are they’re going to stay with us for the long haul whether we like it or not. We just gotta deal…unless you have the money for a boob job but that’s not the point.

Lately we’ve talked about the woes of having big boobs and found out what attracts people to boobs in the first place. As usual, you all had a lot to say.  Here are ten of your responses.

10 Things I Wish I Knew Before Buying My First Bikini

Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter!

Have you ever waxed your bikini line only to find tons of painful, itchy little bumps the next day? What about tiny, raised dark spots on your legs after shaving? Well, you probably had ingrown hair.

Ingrown hair is hair that grows back into the skin after shaving, tweezing, waxing, or electrolysis. Girls tend to get ingrown hairs on their legs, armpits, and pubic area.

So here’s what happens: After shaving, your hair is broken off unevenly. As the hair grows back, it curls into the skin. The results vary from raised pus-filled bumps to skin darkening at the follicle (hair) site. Sometimes you can easily see the hair that’s causing the problem. Ingrown hairs can become infected, which causes inflammation and irritation. This sounds familiar if you’ve ever had razor burn after shaving your bikini line.

Anyone can develop ingrown hairs, but people with curly or coarse hair are more susceptible  That means if you’re Black or Latina, you may be at higher risk. You’re also at risk if you wear tight clothing like tight pants or tights. While ingrown hairs aren’t dangerous, they can be annoying and embarrassing. They can disappear on their own, but if it becomes infected it can leave a permanent scar.

So if you have ingrown hairs, you probably want to know how to get rid of them. First things first: Don’t carelessly pick at it. Seriously, don’t. I’ve had to learn this the hard way and it only resulted in skin discoloration.

Ingrown hairs can be treated in a number of ways. Gentle exfoliation of the site of the ingrown hair will help remove dead skin cells, dirt, or oils that are trapping the hair into the skin. Do this twice a day to encourage the hair to break the surface of your skin. You can also apply a warm washcloth to the ingrown hair. The warmth will encourage the skin to loosen up and allow the ingrown hair to break the surface of the skin. Applying alcohol or acid based topical solutions, like salicilic acid or benzoyl peroxide, can also treat an ingrown hair. If those two ingredients sound familiar, you’ve likely seen them used as a leading ingredient in acne soaps and medication.

Do you suffer from ingrown hairs? Have any treatments that you recommend? Tell us in the comments!

Make Sure You're Comfortable Enough To Wear A Bikini

Bikinis show a lot of skin, so if you aren't prepared to show off your assets, you might end up feeling incredibly self conscious. You want your day by the pool to be fun, not miserable.

Buy A Well Made Bikini

It's easy to go for a cheap and trendy suit, but you're throwing money away if it isn't constructed well. Splurge a little if you have to to make sure that you don't buy a bikini that falls apart after its second wear.

Source: ShutterStock

Try It On

The bikini of your dreams might fit like a nightmare. You want to feel comfortable, not tortured. Don't just eyeball a bikini, look at the size and assume it will fit. It might be a pain in the butt but make sure you try on your bikini before you buy it.

Source: ShutterStock

Make Sure The Material Is Thick Enough

You might find bikinis without padding to be too revealing. If you don't want everyone to know about the state of your nipples, make sure that the lining is thick enough and that the material isn't see through.

Source: ShutterStock

Big Boobs Beware

Unfortunately, if you have large breasts you might be a little stuck as to what to look for in an ideal bikini top. This is especially true if your most readily available options are string and triangle tops. Try to stay away from bikinis that are only sized small to large and make an effort to find a bikini top in your bra size. It's a little more work but it'll be worth it. Support is too important to take for granted.

You Won't Look Great In Every Bikini...And That's Okay

Just because you don't look great wearing a halter top bikini doesn't mean you should give up on bikinis forever. Find out what shapes, sizes and styles you think are most flattering for your figure.

Double Knot Everything

Getting hit by a big wave sucks. Losing your bikini top after getting hit by a big wave is even worse. Double knot everything, top and bottom.

Source: ShutterStock

Buy Your Tops And Bottoms Separately

The top might fit, but the bottoms might make you feel like you're in the "Thong Song" music video. Some people need a larger bikini top and smaller bottoms or vice versa. Buying your pieces separately will assure the most comfortable fit and help you make sure you aren't fined for indecent exposure.

No Bikini Is Worth Starving Yourself Over

Every summer magazines love to tell you how to get the perfect bikini body. You don't need to run 3 miles a day, do 200 crunches and eat nothing but carrot sticks for weeks on end to look good in a bikini. Do you want to know the real secret to getting a bikini ready body? Wear a bikini. That's it. That's all you have to do.

Source: ShutterStock

You Don't HAVE To Wear A Bikini

At the end of the day your bathing suit is all about your taste and your comfort zone, nobody else's. Don't feel obligated to wear a bikini. Tankinis and one-pieces are really great alternatives and come in just as many different styles.

Tattoos are a big decision. I mean, they’re permanent. You have to be absolutely sure you want this on your body forever. We were both 100% sure so we did it.

But I do resent the term tramp stamp because I think it’s really unfair to say that one part of the body is inherently trampier than other parts. I also have a tattoo on my foot. That doesn’t mean I have a floozie foot, right? And I have a tattoo on my wrist, but I don’t have a slutty wrist. It’s just stupid. Where you decide to get a tattoo is not a direct reflection of your sexual choices.

That said, there are some things I hate about my “tramp stamp” so click through and see what they are!

That People Think I'm A Tramp

First of all, my sex life is my business, not anyone else's. Getting a lower back tattoo did not turn me into some kind of sex-crazed maniac. And it doesn't mean that I got a tattoo to reflect sexual behaviors.

That People Think It's A Target

Having a lower back tattoo does not mean I'm easy or that I'm "asking for it." NO ONE is asking for it.

Source: Shutterstock

That People Think I'm Dangerous

Tattoos do not make a person dangerous or angry or violent. I'm really nice, and having a tattoo does not change that one bit.

Source: Shutterstock

That People Think I'm Angsty

I did not get a lower back tattoo in order to lash out or prove a point. I didn't do it to rebel against anything.

Source: Shutterstock

That I Feel I Have To Hide It

Because there's such a stigma against lower back tattoos, I sometimes feel like I have to hide it. Obviously, I'm not walking into work with low-cut jeans and a crop top. But just in daily life, I'm always aware that people are going to see it and judge me for it.

Source: Shutterstock

That I Forget It's There

I love my tattoo, but because it's not in an easily visible place for me, I'm constantly forgetting it's there!

Source: Shutterstock

That People Say I'll Regret It

Many people tell me I'm going to regret it one day. But I've had it for 9 years now, and I've never regretted it for a second.
