Periods are most definitely a dreadful time of the month for any woman, they turn your world upside down and turn you into a monster, and that's if your lucky! Not so long ago I wrote a post on all things period related which you can read here "Unwelcome Visitor"
This time round I decided to delve into the mind of a woman who's on her periods just about ready to blow... And what better way to write this than whilst I'm on my periods. Yay for me... NOT *cries in the corner* No but seriously, it's horrible. About a million thoughts race through your mind from the minute you start till after you've finished up.
1: Is that blood running down my...... YES! Yes it is.
2: I want a bath but I don't want to sit in a pool of blood so I'll take a shower, but I can't stand because of the cramps so I'll just lay here and cry at not being able to wash.
3: Chocolate.... WERE IS THE GOD DAMN CHOCOLATE *Cries* oh wait, there it is. *happy face*
4: OMFG THE PAIN.... THE FUCKING PAIN.
5: Okay so is this normal or.....
6: Far too much blood. Can't handle this. Not amused. I'm definitely a freak of nature.
7: Hungry but don't want food, can't stomach chocolate and have no energy, sleep it is then but I can't sleep because of cramps so I'll cry for half an hour before I decide on eating the chocolate that's right next to me.
8: DO NOT COME NEAR ME MALE, LEAVE ME ALONE. But bring me food and rub my back please.
9: Does every woman experience this or is it just me? *frantically googles period symptoms*
10: CANT TAKE ANY MORE OF THIS. I GIVE UP. IM GOING TO LIVE IN A CAVE.
11: Why do my boobs hurt so frikkin much?! I'm bleeding from my vagina, not my tits!!! Get your act together Mother Nature.
12: Leave me here to die. My bed is a good place for me to pass away.
13: I'm pretty sure a letter every month to tell me I'm not pregnant would work just as well, if not better, than the lining of my womb shredding itself every god damn month!!!!
14: Can people tell I'm on my periods? Do they know I'm one stupid comment away from snapping everyones neck?
15: Ahhhh it's over..... Nope, wait, it's back *cries for hours over the horrible luck of being a woman*
So that's pretty much my experience during my periods. It's horrible. I'm always in pain. I'm always moaning. I'm a cranky as fuck cow. I hate everyone and I black out sometimes. I hate the whole experience, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.
I'm usually fine once my period starts, it's the days before that really bothers me! My back really starts to ache and my boobs, it hurts like hell too :( I'm actually looking forward to menopause, though I heard that is awful too.
ReplyDeleteI hate when I'm on, it's just horrible to say the least!! I hate the back ache, it's always such a big inconvenience.
DeleteThis made me chuckle. Periods really do suck!!
ReplyDeleteThey do indeed!!!
DeleteYes that pretty much summed it up for me. So glad I no longer have to go through them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment
DeleteThis made me giggle. It also made me feel better - now I know I am not the only one who has this experience. Xx
ReplyDeleteI love that I'm getting so much feedback from wonderful women such as yourself who can relate! It's comforting! Xx
DeleteLol. Every thought I used to have. I'm on a pill that doesn't give me them now. Holiday time used to stress me out soooo much x
ReplyDeleteI used to have. I'm on a pill that doesn't give me them now. Holiday time used to stress me out soooo much x
ReplyDeleteI still got mine when I was on the pill! I've had mine with every contraceptive I've been on. Swimming is always a horrible, stressful activity x
DeleteOh god it's been a torment in my life since my tender 11 year old self started on this revolting journey of being a female! What rotten luck for us to get such a shit end of the stick where reproductive organs are concerned! Thank god for breastfeeding and no periods!! #lifelovinglinkie
ReplyDeleteThe periods are such a horrible time and I just hate that we have been lumped with it haha not cool!
DeleteLove the reality of this post, nodding away in my little corner to each comment#lifelovinglinkie
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that others are relating to this post haha
DeleteReturning from #thelist
DeleteA letter would do, totally hun. Totally.
ReplyDeleteI suffered sooooooo badly until I had kids. I would literally be throwing up because of the pain and, no joke, my labour pains were pretty similar to my menstrual cramps. That's how bad they were. Now I have had kids, and a coil fitted, life is soooooooo much beter. I am using the coil as an excuse as to why my backside has terbled in size since this time 2 years ago, not the cake and alcohol, but it's changed my life.
Virtual hugs and choccie coming your way.xxx

I think a letter really does NEED to happen haha
DeleteI can definitely relate. In my teens, my periods were hell. Very painful, very heavy and sometimes would arrive when I least expected. I ended up having to leave school early a few times because the pain was so bad. Now, they've been irregular for many years and aren't so bad. #fortheloveofBLOG

DeleteI can relate to this post on a spiritual level. Periods are honestly one of the WORST parts of being a female ever, outside of becoming pregnant and childbirth.

ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting! xox
DeleteI can relate. Last year mine were so bad for months on end that I was vomiting with the pain of them. Although they are now better, I now get ovulation pain. What is that about??? #Fridayfrolics

DeleteYou've absolutely nailed all of these on the head. My body is currently trying to get used to coming off the pill and I've had 2 periods since, one of which is going on right now & im ready to crawl into a dark hole & die. Thankyou so much for sharing this - I needed it! Ellis x

DeleteI have read so many horror stories from girls and women over the years about terrible period experiences and I just have to say...
ReplyDeleteI am unbelievably lucky or something. I don't really experience any of these things - maybe some minor mood swings, a little bit of cramping, but I bleed for like two days and that's it.

Number 13 got me haha. Shouldn't laugh because it's so true!

Periods SUCK!!! All I wanna do is lay in bed but, oh... I better change my tampon if I don't want a bloody mess! (A literally bloody mess.)
ReplyDeleteBut for the most part, I've been pretty lucky with my periods in comparison to others. I only get about 1 day of intense cramping, and I can usually manage it with Aleve... and I only have to deal with 1-2 days of heavier flow. I actually find I feel a little better if I stay active and stay hydrated, but it's still not fun! I don't like wearing old underwear for a week and having to stop what I'm doing to prevent a mess.
This post made me laugh though, I'm going to have to bookmark it so I can read it whenever I need a laugh. :)
