Listen to your body because it's telling you something. I know it's easier said than done but do something to get your stress level down- yoga, meditation, long walks, going out dancing- whatever works! All the money and status in life means shit if your body is not well enough to enjoy it!!

My cycle was not regular for a couple years in between (I didn't get it for almost 6 months once). I made working out a part of my routine and just started watching what I eat when traveling. Now it's improved somewhat, can happen anytime between 28-35 days.

Yep. Mine was completely out of whack from the month I joined the Firm until the month I left.

Take a personal day and do a hobby or something you love at least once a week. Try to sleep an hour or two longer if you can each day. Not always possible I know. I found podcast meditations help me and you can listen when you travel. Also just try to talk to friends about anything that's on your mind or stressing you out. Scientific evidence that just talking about concerns helps reduce stress . A problem shared is a problem halved
