I'll check everything I'm tagged in, maybe Tuesday? Idk... I'm once again in the Netherlands, but this time I "had" my periods Monday through Friday night, so yesterday, as I arrived, I was "periods free" which made me so happy...
I took the 1st opportunity I had which was this morning to go on a walk bc here you can do kilometers by the beach and I thought "I'm out of shape, let's settle on 12km... 6 in, 6 back. " 2KM IN: CRAMPS... it hurt more than any day of last week, so I sat down. Thankfully, the view is gorgeous, the blue of the sea so vivid, but it's not stopping...
I'm wearing a reusable pad bc I don't trust my body enough to stop wearing anything as soon as it stops (I usually keep wearing smth for 3 days) so for that I know I'm good and safe to come back clean but each bench I thought "do I sit and rest? do I sit and rest?" But I knew that had I done that I wouldn't have reached back the caravan so I kept going...
I know I was looking like a freak on the way back as I kept hitting my ovaries to feel physical pain rather than that pain, barely being able to focus on breathing... once I reached home, I still didn't sit down.
I knew I had to take painkillers and change into pants that weren't cutting through my lower belly 1st or I was gone (as in I was so sure I would pass out despite it happening only 6 times so far in my life from periods).
Now I'm home, cramps still so awful I feel better folded in half so I still haven't eaten and I basically just wrote this to push myself to do so bc if I managed coming back and taking painkillers before passing out, it's not to pass out from not eating.
