The word 'chocolates' is incorrectly used in plural form when referring to chocolate in general; 'chocolate' as a mass noun is correct here. Also, 'chocolates are helps' is incorrect; 'chocolate helps' is correct because 'chocolate' is singular. 'Periods' should be singular 'period' when referring to menstrual cycle, and 'have craving' needs an article 'a craving'. These corrections improve subject-verb agreement and proper noun usage.

'Chocolates' should be 'chocolate' as a mass noun when referring to the substance in general. 'Period time' is better expressed as 'during my period'. 'In my birthday' should be 'on my birthday' because we use 'on' for days and dates. 'The another day' is incorrect; 'other days' is appropriate for comparison.

'Chocolates' should be 'chocolate' as a mass noun. 'In birthday party' should be 'at birthday parties' because we use 'at' for events and pluralize for general statements.
