Dakota Johnson has opened up about her menstrual woes, with the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' actress admitting how 'hormonal changes' during her periods are ruining her life every month.

"If I’m honest, my hormonal changes during my menstrual cycle are ruining my life. Every month. It’s unbelievable." She further added that the monthly shifts to her "body and brain" are so bad they border on the "traumatic," the 29-year-old confessed in a chat with InStyle beauty to promote her new fragrance partnership with Gucci.

"It’s really f***ing amazing," she told InStyle during the interview. "I can’t get a grip on it. I’m like, what? Every time, I’m totally scandalized about what happens to my body and my brain. My boobs are like eight times the size they normally are. It’s really a traumatic thing, and it happens every month. I just can’t get used to it."
