    You're feeling particularly bad as you're on your period. Your hormones are fluctuating and that should pass in a few days.

    Walking is good. Running is better. There are loads of free running apps for your phone that coach you along so you can focus on that.

    You need to put the right nutrition into your body. That's what it is probably crying out for.

    There are loads of supplements that can help too.
