Pms - Tumblr Posts
It's that time of the month when I wanna rip my stomach open with bare hands and throw away my uterus
Thank you for your message ❤️❤️❤️
Now a message for my past younger self:
Agree 100%
That being said, part of the problem with talking about it is that menstrual cycles can be so different from person to person. I have know people that hardly notice theirs and others have pain so bad that they vomit. Many factors go into how we physically, mentally and emotionally are impacted by our periods. We need to understand that our own personal truths do not have to mirror the experiences of others so we can hear what they are sharing with us instead of minimizing their experience.
I know this sounds like an obvious duh, but I’ll be uncomfortably honest and admit that my 18 year old self didn’t understand this. I remember telling people PMS wasn’t real… and I believed that at one point because I hadn’t experienced it yet. I remember judging people that I believed were exaggerating simply because their experience was much different from mine. I just honestly didn’t understand that we could experience the “same” thing so differently.
We absolutely need to talk about menstrual cycles more, but requires hearing and believing the experiences of others when they may differ from our own. Whether is menstrual cycles, child birth, identity, boundaries, and a million other topics, we need to understand that our truth is ours and someone else’s truth is theirs and respect that. I wish I had learned that much younger than I did.
we as a society don't adequately address how physically, emotionally, and mentally hard the menstrual cycle is on a woman's body and we really should be talking about this
a girl will be enjoying life without mental instability for once and then BAM! comes the pms… and now I’m considering breaking up and dropping out
my PMS-ing brain acting up in the middle of the night, bringing back childhood memories i was fine not remembering
like tf why
don’t you hate it when you get those weird overly sexual pms?
and like they’re all the same spam and i hate it 😕
No because getting punished by my body for not getting pregnant is not very girls’ girl of her.
My back is fully fucked up right now. I had to wake my husband for evening duty. I managed to change our youngest before lying down as it locked up real bad. I hate cycles. My symptoms are always super inflamed joints and horrendous back pain. I won't be able to move for the next several hours. Stupid. I hate it.
I wanted to play a game with my eldest after he ate lunch but I couldn't even make lunch. Woke husband to take over bcuz I knew I was shutting down. (Yes we do lunch in the evening. Our schedule is roughly 12p-12a so what's normally dinner/supper for most folks is lunchtime/midday for our family.)
I'm about to pass out. But I'm extremely restless with irritation before that happens. I need a new body.
I made these period cramp YCH emotes for my ffxiv FC about a week ago and I still love them 🤣
No lie I have pmdd and it would get so bad whenever I was younger that there were probably 2 years straight where I tried to kill myself once a month (usually the day before my period) because it fucked my mental state so badly.
Please don't be afraid to discuss symptoms like that with a doctor because they are treatable through mental health medication or birth control such as the depo shot or the progesterone only pill (or if you're like me and you're transgender, going on testosterone really helps, but the main thing is to try to not have a period if you're not trying to get pregnant, because the hormones of your body gearing up to have a period are what make these issues happen)
Pre-menstrual depression is always depicted as like "He He! I had a box of icecream bars and cried while watching the Titanic!" But in reality, it's more like, "I'm standing the edge of an abyss. There is nothing good inside of me, I'm filled with rage and desperation."
It's crazy that being told how to deal with that is never a part of anyone's menstrual sex education.
