Jake lay on the couch with a hot water bottle trying to ignore the intense cramps feeling sorry for himself.
His flatmate Scott asked how his presentation at work had gone whilst checking up on how he was doing.
Jake just lay there and looked at Scott with tears in his eyes and said I was sabotaged by my baby box as he pointed towards his stomach.
He said to Scott can you imagine how embarrassed I felt getting my first period while standing in front of all my colleagues who could tell what was going on as it stained my trousers.
I know I'm not the only one going through it but it was so embarrassing and even though I knew it was natural I could not help freaking out.
I don't think I will ever live this one down.
Maybe my counselor was right and maybe I was not ready to go back to work just yet.
Maybe I need to take some more time getting used to my new body and its disgusting biological functions.
