#menstrual hell

[ascotcos]

Fucking hate my period

◇ exacerbates mental health issues

◇ exacerbates physical health issues

◇ I'm transgender: intense dysphoria

◇ the spider from last night is nowhere to be seen in my flat, which makes the whole dealing with my menstrual products even scarier

◇ I'm almost out of pads and can't go get more for at least today

◇ been on T for nearly 2 and a half years and I'm still having periods 🙃

◇ it's too hot to comfortable use a hot water bottle or heated pad to ease the pain

◇ I was meant to be at uni today and I can barely make myself eat let alone consider being perceived

Conclusion: one day I'm having a hysterectomy and no one can stop me

I have a period in order to gain class solidarity with women. That's the only reason

[ufohydra]

You ever just... have a period?

Like, why? I don't want it.

My life be like

[puppyluver256]

Whenever I’m putting on a pad, one of two things usually happens without fail: either the pad’s adhesive doesn’t adhere to my underwear and comes off too easily, or it adheres too well and later when I go to take it off it tears apart and leaves bits of itself attached to my underwear that can never be removed ever.

Finish the sentence

Finals week + period =

Real Life Nuvaring Adventures Part II

So then I spent most of the day before my fibro meeting building an extremely long road in Minecraft so that I wouldn't hyperventilate and run in circles screaming, because I was having a really long anxiety attack at the idea of going outdoors...and then I spent most of the day after that in bed instead of at work where I was supposed to be, because my body pretty much said, ah fuck it, and threw in the towel and left me feeling deflated and immobile.

So then then today I was alright at work but ended up riding to a train station with my girlfriend, who has a friend visiting, starting to feel really ill on the way, and then taking the train home instead of into San Francisco with them. I have work tomorrow morning too and last time I pushed ahead instead of turning around I spent hours emptying my stomach all over my jeans, so. Homeward it was.

Blahhh.

Blahhh I tell you.

The really obnoxious part is that even though it's likely the Nuvaring causing this, it's still a hundred times more manageable than without it.
