Just felt the need to put this out there – periods are the most pointless, idiotic, horrible, bullshit things in existence. Yes I know that’s not an objective statement, yes yes they’re biologically necessary, screw you I’m right.
I don’t understand why we would evolve this way (or why our men are one of the only creatures whose genitalia is just flopping about, waiting to get damaged – but that’s another topic entirely) or if there is some sort of “creator” what kind of twisted sadistic prick they must be. Some of you ladies out there may be blessed with mild periods, but I was doled out the monstrous, debilitating, hormones raging, nightmare ones.
Some people will probably look at this post and see some whiny b*tch that needs to get over herself and I mean… Yeah. But you’d whine too if cramps ripped through you so strongly that you couldn’t even stand until they subsided, and every mental issue you deal with had its volume cranked up to max. I know I’m not the only one that gets extra suicidal around this time, in fact I know a woman who never struggles with suicidal thoughts EXCEPT during her period, and she had to be talked down from jumping out of a window.
…I’m not really sure what my original point was.
Something something mother nature’s a c*nt.

I feel you and totally understand, mine were often bad enough to take me out of school for a day or two and the mood that comes with it is unbearable. I started taking birth control pills to help with it and honestly it’s a miracle, My periods are lighter and the PMS all but disappeared. Obviously things aren’t perfect I’m here haha but that was definitely a wonderful thing
It’s ok to say **** here.
I’ve had gfs with debilitating periods. I’d buy them a bottle of wine and leave town for a few days.
“Somewhere between Christmas and being buried alive is PMS”
My condolences.
Ha ha. Another SP filter. Jesus Horatio Christ!
Non-sequitur: I wish I had your fortitude, Smith.
Think twice. It comes with a bastard of an enlarged prostate. No free lunches.
Always wanting to discuss your prostate.
Two words: “Saw Palmetto”
My urethra can’t handle rich food.
Try eating it (rich food, that is) instead!
oops. that was to smitty.
I take birth control pills continualy. It is safe. Dont do the pause between the medicine boxes. This way you wont have periods. We can search about on internet.
Good luck
Pamprin Multi-symptom ( blue box) combined with Aleve. And yes, plenty of dark chocolate also!!
Exceeding the recommended dose on Aleve is Ok for short periods of time ( your period ).
This should deal with the physical pain. The psychological pain might be best to be addressed with your doctor—an antidepressant type of approach. Good Luck!!
“or why our men are one of the only creatures whose genitalia is just flopping about, waiting to get damaged” — LOL
Try reducing your intake of estrogenic foods, like soy. It tends to give women longer and more painful periods as they mimic estrogen. To much estrogen = bad. Btw, a LOT of things have soy in it, you wouldn’t know just how much everything has soy until you read the labels.
Just wanna thank everyone for their thoughtful replies (actually made me smile ^^) unfortunately I’m on birth control, take the beefiest midol, am on a regimen of tramadol for chronic pain (bonus – it’s a mild SSRI ;D) and have plenty of chocolate x3
Just one of those things I’ve gotta ride through, but dammit Ima gripe about all the bumps and potholes =_=
Hang on, kid. Menopause is awesome!
LOL not if my genetics are anything go by xD though my mother at least concedes that living with her during it was nearly as bad going through it 😛
I’ve never had any desire for kids (nor has my bf), and on the off-chance I change my mind like everyone ~insists~ I will, I’d really rather adopt than pass on my shitty genetics anyways; so I’ve been hoping for the past year or so to just get this crap yanked out.
Buuuut who’s gonna do that for a 20yo with “healthy” bits? ¯\_(?)_/¯
Honey, take one pill every day, no pause. You Wont have to menstruate again
I do, was what my doctor told me to do actually (no “filler pills” either) My periods are better than they used to be, lighter and shorter, sometimes I even go two months between instead of one! But still get ’em, still miserable in every way during :/
Yes, it’s that time of month for me too. It’s called PMDD. A severe/suicidal form of PMS. I know it’s coming because a week or so before my period, I feel this impending doom. Everything feels wrong. I have angry outbursts and I feel frightened and paranoid. Depression is worst than ever. I mark it on my calendar so I know it’s coming. That’s when I just want to hide from everyone and lock myself away. I also have crying spells.
Still managed to see my therapist this week. He knows about my PMDD and how everything is hard for me. He was proud of me for pushing through it and showing up. It also helped that I was able to pick up klonopin. That really takes the edge off all the anxiety.
Wow, just looked into that and I’m amazed I’ve never heard of/been told about it before o-o At least I have a term for it now \o/
Keep fighting the good fight, your therapist is right to be proud 🙂
I’m so glad I could help you out with the name! Yeah, PMDD is real. Sometimes, it helps to read online about other women’s experiences with it so I don’t feel alone.
If one gets to choose in the before-life if they enter this world as an M or an F, I’m picking M.
Sorry. I don’t trust anything that bleeds for 3 days straight without dying.
Same though. Morning wood’s got nothing on this >-> Although I could do without the random awkward boners xD
