late to the party but no one ever talks abt the Constant anxiety that comes with periods Like, am I leaking? Can people tell? Am I going to get blood poisoning? Is it supposed to hurt this much ? Ugh

@Painted-Iris group

Literally last month I had my period twice abnormally and the second one hurt worse than the first despite bleeding less.

Just gonna recommend this to all you ladies here: Use peppermint essential oil along the area of pain and it should feel a bit better with ibuprofen along with it

@Uh.Yeah.I.Sure.HOPE.It.Does!

PERIOD'S FREAKING SUCK MATE!
Getting first period's late in life runs in the family so I'm due for only my 3rd one ever and I'm just dreading it cause BLEH THEY'RE SO ANNOYING

Like honestly I don't think men truly understand. IT IS SO MUCH BLOOD. When I got my first period if I hadn't know what was going on I probably would have called an ambulance because I thought I was going to die from bleeding out.

@Painted-Iris group

cries
I just texted my friend "I'm bleeding" and they responded with " Stop bleeding its bad for your health, take a band aid"

I LAUGHED WAYYY TOO HARD AT THIS

also yeah pads are difficult at times and if your body isn't ready for them, tampons just don't work. Plus they're awkward

Oof I lost count with how many I've had but they started in late 4th grade I believe for me
also can I just say that I feel you, my dude
mine always starts really heavy so my mom gave me pantiliners to start using when I had my first and all the sudden it was just more than it could take and I only had like one left XD

INTENSE SCREAMING
I FRICKIN' RELATE ON A SPIRITUAL LEVEL TO THIS CHAT LIKE WHY SERIOUSLY WHAT IS THE EFFING POINT OF THE ONCE A MONTH OTHER THAN AN EXCUSE TO EAT HORRENDOUS AMOUNTS OF CHOCOLATE BUT ALSO BE IN INTENSE PAIN AND LIKE WHYYYYYYYY?

Sorry, I'm currently bleeding out and it's not fun. Glad I can rant and shout with you all.

Anyways, I've always found hot water bottles helpful. And doing absolutely nothing for hours at a time.

Whatever.

@Uh.Yeah.I.Sure.HOPE.It.Does!

YES SAME

We are reading this book in English and it's called Lucky Child (Great book would recommend) but in the most recent chapter the main character (A 13-year-old immigrant from Cambodia after the Khmer Rouge genocide) got her first period and since she didn't know what it was she thought she was dying and started having flashbacks to the war but then she remembered what she 'learned in American school' and was like oh phew. Aside from the PTSD that was like MMM relatable

@Painted-Iris group

I find heating pads helpful as well as the mint essential oil I mentioned. Lavender is also a good scent for stress relief but not for pain relief.

I'm taking child development so I get why it has to happen, but it just really sucks that cramps and mood swings come with it

I'm so sorry but I laughed at this because I can relate to the dying thing
