It needs to be repeated: GO TO THE DOCTOR, MADELINE!
Agree that she’s probably playing it up so she can get sympathy and use it as an excuse to not get her work done when she doesn’t feel like it. Sure, she probably feels some pain/discomfort, but it’s hard to believe it’s that debilitating every month yet she won’t seek medical attention.
And moaning about the same thing every month isn’t “bringing awareness,” it’s just called complaining.
I feel you, in the same boat myself and finally getting referred to a specialist after almost a decade of struggling. Difference is, we don’t moan and cry about it every day on social media to a bunch of kids! I never really watched Deli (couldn’t stand how her teeth always looked too big for her mouth - sorry not sorry!) but from reading this thread she’s beyond pissed me off by all this cycle whining. It’s not like she doesn’t have the money to seek the best private healthcare if she stops wasting her money on dumb shite.
Complaining about your period but not taking steps to seek medical intervention is just perpetuating the myth that pain and exhaustion is a normal part of periods. It's not normal and someone should be telling Deli to go to the doctor. Also any young people reading this who have periods if you are struggling with anything relating to your period be it emotional physical or mentally its okay to ask for help. Once again exhaustion and pain is not normal.
Also important is to not give up, too many GPs still fob off women with the old "it's meant to be sore, take 2 ibuprofen or go on the pill" or worse "It's all in your head, stop fussing", for years and years and years.
And then you end up like Hilary Mantel, the late, great author, who wrote very eloquently about the horrors of endometriosis and subsequent loss of fertility and a hundred other side effects. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2004/jun/07/health.genderissues
Raising awareness, as Deli says, is a good thing to do. But eventually, one needs to take direct action, and roar from the rooftops to get a specialist diagnosis. Perhaps she has or is in the process of doing so. But...she shares so much, you would think she would also share that...
She is definitely playing it up. A month ago it was "not so bad to have periods" because James was bringing her coffee and chocolate. And now she can't even mix a bowl of food ?? 
Poor girl is so ill her sister is making her soup. I'm seeing a pattern here....

Are you now? Deli gets pampered and waited on when she's on her period. It would not surprise me if she hammed it up for sympathy. I wonder when James's parents come, if she's suddenly over her period or it's not that bad. Can't look like a lazy layabout around them. That would be embarrassing.
She used the last of her strengths to keep up with appearances, how dare you !!
It's the fact that she moans but doesn't do anything about it. If she was having an awful time and said she was going to the doctor and getting investigations or whatever, I think people would feel quite differently. Whilst no one has to share their medical information with the internet, I think it's reasonable if you're sharing an ongoing problem to then share if you're trying to get it sorted, even if you don't want to go into extreme details about it.
Totally. Nobody expects her to share her personal medical information, but her talking vaguely about going to see a doctor about this issue would do more for her young audience than her constant complaining. Let them know there’s nothing wrong or shameful in needing to see a doctor for menstrual issues! THAT would be bringing awareness, way more than “PMS is harrrrrrrd so I won’t be doing any work for the next two weeks!”
Genuinely I would watch a video of Deli getting medical attention for her periods, diagnosis journey etc. I’d find that really interesting. And I’ve not watched a deli video or vlog in probably three years
Maybe, or she is starting the pms now so that when his parents come, she doesn’t have to spend too much time with them.
Posting crying pictures online is so embarrassing. But come on, don't tell me this girl isn't kind of depressed....

Why she so bad at her job? Maybe it's time she got another job. Honestly.
god I don’t normally say this but Deli is so annoying with her monthly meltdowns and woe is me stories.
also shouldn’t all this working out and healthy eating help with her period pains etc? Really think she’s playing it up.

My first-day cramps are pretty bad so I purposely avoid certain things for a day or two that I’ve learned will make the cramps worse. It’s not that hard. Not all periods (or PMS in this case) are created equal but Deli is in her 30s and has likely been dealing with this for a long time now. My sympathies are limited when she posts crying selfies online and takes like half a month off to lie around on the couch while her boyfriend brings her coffee and chocolate (both of which can make cramps worse but it doesn’t seem like she knows that!).

Coming from someone who is lactose intolerant (and often just takes the risk for the pleasure of a sweet treat
) you don’t ever forget you can’t have lactose.Maybe I'm being dramatic but does anyone else find these kind of videos really weird?
