Interesting…
I'm not so sure about insurance covering it though, and also I live in Canada, so healthcare is different than it is in America.
And yeah, I've been considering using the little rubber cup thingy when I'm older and on my own… but for now, there are too many people in my house to make that kind of change.
Also, my mother and my therapist don't believe that PMS turns you into a puddle of emotions and makes you grumpy and angry and reactive and whatnot. And it ticks me off, because I become an absolute WITCH during that time, and the rest of the time, I have relatively stable emotions. It's like, CAN YOU NOT SEE THE DIFFERENCE?!?!!!
Wait… wut?
Is your therapist a guy? Because I don't understand how you could find 2 women that don't know anything about the horrors of PMS…
Nope. Both girls. Although the therapist is older and my mother literally has like zero hormones, I swear.
wtaf…
HOW?
Actually nvm… there's something wrong with both of them.
IKR 😅
You ever start crying-uncontrollably one day and you get your period the next day and you're just like yissss I knew I wasn't an overemotional turd

Shoutout to the medicine vending machine on my college campus for having the exact pads I use. <3
I got my period the day before taking the Covid vaccine, so I was feeling just bad enough to not want to leave campus to go to the store. Was afraid it was just gonna be shitty panty liners and tampons.

So question. Does anyone else experience really sharp pains during ovulation? Like you're being stabbed in the side?
I don't get those pains anymore, not since I've been on the pill, but they were probably worse than menstrual cramping.
I think I did once… maybe….
idk
But on another note, mine started today, and I fell soooooo icky rn…
LOL mine started yesterday, and I was in such a bad mood and so much pain. It really does suck butt >:(
my period started a few days ago and boy does it trigger my gender dysphoria sometimes
i've been leaning more towards being non-binary recently and like,,,, having my period as a reminder that i'm female is absolutely awful. like my body's way of saying "hey fuck you you're a girl now bleed and cramp and cry urself to sleep haha" and i'm just like "HNGNGHHGNMGMNGHGMG"
i'm so emotional and unstable right now, and i wanna blame it on period but i haven't even had one this month. i should've started it like a week and a half ago. guess i'm just bipolar by nature-
You could be experiencing PMS, it messes with your mood and affects you pretty badly before your period. It could be a sign you're about to start. Here's an article about PMS for reference:
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/premenstrual-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20376780
ooh cool. that could be it for sure lol, and i think my periods are out of wack cuz i just started the pill, too.
I was up half the night cuz I would almost get to sleep and then I'd feel like I would be about to puke due to cramps.
Annnd its only day oneeee
So, update, this morning I felt like crap…
turns out hormones and severe symptoms of depression and lack of mental energy DO NOT go well together…
and such was my emotional rollercoaster of tears and exhaustion-that-had-no-logical-reason-for-existing and stupid %#$%@!^%$%!@&%# Hormones.
I had a choir concert last night and I'm like 75% sure that I have PMS right now and I BAWLED MY EYES OUT DURING THE LAST SONG (but my solo went well so like ree)
Well that's good to hear!
When ur period is so heavy u ave to wear an overnight pad and super tampon in the day and ur fav jeans don't do it for ya and u think you look like u r wearing a diaper
The ONE day I don't bring a pad I'm about to start. Of course. I have anywhere from an hour to the middle of the night, I'm not good at guessing, and I'm praying that big titty satan waits until I'm at home to attack me ow cramps
