Hi Lybrate user,
ye indicate karta h apka stress level thoda jyada h, relaxation exercises aur yoga kijiye. Ye behaviour ko dusre kisi behaviour me convert kar dijiye thoda easy hoga apko, initial period me. Jab bhi baal nochne ka maan kare ek sponge ball rakhie usko press kijiye, ya phir chewing gum chabaiye.
Take healthy food, sleep for atleast 8 hours, take minimum 3 litres of water. Don't worry. Give me a feedback. Thanks.

Dear user. I can understand. You are you. Whatever your behavior today, whatever your body language today are learned from your past experiences and social interactions. Whatever you have learned can be unlearned or over written. This is a continuous process happening throughout your life. In your present case I need to evaluate your behavior thoroughly before providing an answer. I suggest cognitive behavior therapy for you. Take care.
