Adulting Is Hard

Cuz no one taught me what the hell I’m actually supposed to do 🤷‍♀️

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE INANIMATE OBJECT?

My Soul

[zeuscyrisus1]

Drowning

I see the surface

The sun reflected against it

The water ripples

The waves crash against the shore

I kick my legs

Trying to touch the light

Trying to grab the light

The dark abyss threatens to swallow

But I want the light

It slow disappears

As the waters consume

The light within the soul

Shit No One Told Me About My Period

I knew the basics before I got it, but I had no clue…

* The blood wouldn’t necessarily be red. When I first got my period, I spent a few min looking at my underwear wondering how I shit myself. I didn’t know the blood could look brown, or be thick.

* That tampons weren’t a good idea yet. I was 10 or 11 when I got my first period and physically smaller than an adult woman. My first attempt at inserting a tampon was very painful and unsuccessful. I wouldn’t use them until I was around 14 or so.

* That when you use pads the blood can get on your bottom and I’d have to occasionally clean off the toilet seat after using it.

* That getting your first period DOES NOT mean you’re fully developed and fully able to bear children. I could have technically gotten pregnant at that age, but I was still a child and pregnancy would have put my life in danger because I was still physically immature.

* That it wouldn’t be regular for another few years.

* That very painful cramping is NOT NORMAL once you reach your 20s and is cause for concern.

* That the blood and tissue you pass can look chunky or stringy and not like blood from a cut.

* That stress can halt your period for months BUT

* That doesn’t mean you can’t get pregnant

Feel free to add your own

-passing blood clots is completely normal

-that your period may straight up skip a month when you first get it

-and then it’ll happen twice in the same month

-getting your period does NOT automatically make you a woman

[martee-bee-blog]

Painful cramping isn’t normal in your 20’s? That’s a little concerning, mine have been getting exponentially worse

[phinarei]

It is NOT normal. 

I can 100% guarantee you have endometriosis, PCOS, or another hormone problem. If your doctor says it’s normal, DEMAND a second opinion. 

Thinking that it’s normal is how people end up infertile or dead. It’s why so many women under 40 these days are having an almost impossible time either conceiving or preventing conception. Because no one teaches anyone that it’s the sign of trouble that can very seriously hurt you. 

Anyone who has severe cramps, heavy bleeding, or irregular periods after about 19 years old should seek medical advice. None of those are normal. 

If you have skin tags, a hard time losing weight, migraines related to your period, depression that is amplified when menstruating, severe mood swings, sleep disturbances that get worse with menstruation, or any other significant health problem that started with puberty and is worse when hormones are fluctuating you need to be checked. 

None of the things that people relate to women on their periods is actually an example of a healthy woman. It’s an example of people who need one form of treatment or another. 

[colt-kun]

Do NOT go to a general doctor. Find a women’s health center. Obgyn doctors. ASK SPECIFICALLY FOR A FEMALE DOCTOR. (Also helps with creating a demand for female doctors, win-win)

And if the doctor you do see tried to write you off as “nothing” or “its normal”? Politely insist for another doctor. People forget: you are paying them for a service. If you believe the doctor is not taking you or your problems seriously, ASK FOR ANOTHER DOCTOR. Specifically, “Do you have another doctor on staff who is more experienced with female health”. It is WELL within your right to change doctors as you see fit - you owe no loyalty to one specific doctor if they aren’t meeting your needs.

Reblogging for all my followers with vaginas. I have so many sisters and friends with vaginas and I didn’t know most of this. I turn 30 soon. You’d think I’d have pick up these bits of information over the years in conversation.

[luckystarchild]

Hey!! Hey everybody with periods!!! If you have a period you should read this, because it’s helpful, and people with periods really aren’t taught enough about their own bodies.

[daddys-chaton-noir]

even if u personally don’t get a period, someone u know/care abt prob does & u should pass this along

women’s health is health & we should all know these things, i feel

My Key

I had a key

A simple key

Found in the depths

Of a closet

In Virginia

I put it on a chain

And wore it around my neck

And then one day it was gone

Years later I found this

Necklace

In the depths of my stuff

And wore it again

Rubbing it when I needed

Comfort

It went missing again

It’s was a cycle of

Having it

And

It being gone

I haven’t seen it

In over a year

And know

In my

Heart

That it is gone

For good this time

Because I

Don’t need

An anchor

To reality anymore

I have a person

A

Wonderful

Person who

Calms me

And keeps me attached to

The present

And locks away my past

To no longer

Cause me

Pain

I guess you

Could say

He’s the key

To

My

Soul

I wish Ari would do acting again :(

this was honestly a religious experience

[anti-capitalistlesbianwitch]

This Doonesbury abortion cartoon was originally written by Gary Trudeau in 2012, in response to a Texas law requiring women to have an ultrasound before an abortion. It was banned from many major newspapers, and they ran syndicated cartoons in its place.

Now seems like an appropriate time to bring these cartoons back, with the passing of Texas’ new law requiring the burial or cremation of miscarried or aborted fetal remains. I guess we’ll have to wait and see if Trudeau decides to write the sequel.

[herei-amwaiting]

This is still my favorite thing ever, any of my followers that are going into the Air Force, this is how it was for me while I was at BMT.

Except, it isn’t as funny when you’re actually there, afterwards, everything that happen at BMT turns hilarious!

What’s the mood Today?
