Ngl one of the perks of transitioning was that testosterone effectively cured my endometriosis, can't have pain if you can't have periods
Omfg dude that's sick! HRT keep winning
- short celebration that I'm not pregnant
- ibuprofen
- get away from other people asap
- cranberry juice
- binge-eating during the first 24 hours so that I can't feel the cramps as much, especially dessert
- try to distract myself the best I can with video games
- hot showers and ice-cold drinks
- just not giving a fuck about body maintenance for the next 3-4 days
My biggest mistake is going overboard with body maintenance in some kinda sad attempt to offset the self hate when I should just goblin mode for the week. I just don't wanna have to deal with the office while also looking and feeling like death.
Goblin mode is great, I catch up on body maintenance on like day 4-5 when the period has subsided to random ketchup squirts. Let the hair grow and the zits form, fuck it.
Greasy ass hair with a gappy fringe i hate it
Getting out of the house. Sorry I could not help myself.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo little %&*@#
😂😅*quietly sneaking out from this thread.
Yeah go on, sneak out to hang with the lads and leave us to be the only parent and then wonder why the kid hates you
Just going out for chocalates and weed, promise really 😃
Lol no stop atm I'm just going insane, anyone want anything?
for my partner, they take kratom for the first day or two. PCOS so the cramping is unreal they have passed out before from them owie
Omfg I hope they are better with the meds jesus christ.
Can’t help but your taste in meme pics is divine.

Thank you
mefanemic acid is available on prescription and works better than ibuprofen.
I'm getting gf a TENS machine for Christmas in hopes that helps too.
im physically attached to this heating pad, i also cannot stop eating i feel like a black hole, i fucked up and got myself cookie butter. weed and ibuprofen help. also put on sad music to get the emotions out at the beginning of the day, im actully about to walk to the ocean and dramatically cry by the seaside listening to mitski.
I made a hexbear account. That's how bad this one is
I need to get one of those cuddley microwaveable warm plushes. I saw a penguin one and I neeeeed it.
I get back into specifically Remembering Sunday every time like I go back to dorky emo girl every month. Like no other songs, just that one lol
Omg don't the very idea of that is sending me. I want to gather shells now 😪 Romantic or bitter sweet anime youtube short edits send me into bits as well and i dont even watch anime anymore. I don't even go looking for them, I lingered too long one time I recognised one I'd seen back in school and now the algorithm suffocates me with them and i always cry and now I'm getting invested in characters and ships I don't even know. Why YouTube. Fuck off.

extremely cute although i prefer the plug in ones because im lazy. hmmmm maybe you need something even stronger, sometimes the only way out of a sob spell is through!! im prescribing the saddest sapphic movie you can find, a cup of herbal tea, and then a brisk walk/stretch. also you gotta start reading fanfics of the ships you dont even know, im sorry thats law.
I know it's terminal i thought I'd became a cool grass toucher and everything
You can get those? Erghhh that would make my lazy ways easier. My adhd has me listening to a rotation of true crime, serial killers, cave diving deaths, mountaineering disasters, reading about tarot and youtuber drama. I'm too far gone this month.
Nooooo who the fuck is alya anyway and why does she hide her feelings in Russian? I'm like girl, get a grip and tell him or lose him to the sister who loves checks notes incest movies? Wait what?! This is all I've gotten of the plot so far and it's wild. I do not want to see where the fanfiction goes.

FELT
report back if you ever figure out why alya hides her feelings in russian
im gonna force myself to go on a walk now sob. goodbye sweet heating pad.
In between the comments ive found out her older sister knows our MC. Holy shit.
Good luck have fun and be yourself!!
My spouse loves her menstruation crustacean, so I do second that. If you have rice and any clean old socks, you might be able to rig one for yourself with rice and maybe a bit of the lavender oil in the sock. Tie, microwave. You've really hit all the other things I've learned. Welcome to hexbear and good luck comrade.
I just fucking die 🫠
Mood
I swear I just become consumption. I want to be filled and I'm not bothered how.
I don't get it? Use other punctuation?
I don't follow sorry 😐 did you want more full stops?
I'm sorry, but I can't tell if you're playing into the bit or not
Wait this was a bit? i was just confused and trying to be polite
Edit: just in case .............................
In the US/Canada "full stops" are also called "periods" 😭
Oh do I need to delete my account now? I can't come back from this.
just take a rest period and you'll be fine
My gf just went though the same thing last week, sounds fucking awful. She just drinks / smokes weed, so not much I can say to help, sorry!
She's a trooper, I can't drink when I'm on, it just makes me cry more somehow.
My girlfriend always has some blackcurrant juice when she’s on her period. You might want to thin it out with some sparkling water, though.
Cranberry gang for me 💪
Heating pad
Midol
Happy things like chocolate or painting minis
No stress
Guess what four things I haven’t had the last four days.
We cope, that's what we do. I hate it. Hoping you get at least 1 of the 4 soon
I hope it just ends soon. Today's day 4 so it should finish soon. Should. Hopefully you find your answers cause PMS is a bitch.
Should...
I’ll get by. I’ve been having these for a long time now. Probably will never get used to it, but that’s the price I pay for being me.
Currently enjoying this too. My cycle is so short I feel like I am bleeding all the time. And it is so heavy, I hate working on these days so much.
Can't wait to grow old enough for this to stop. So over it.
I usually vanish into the void and come back when it’s over… not the greatest strategy maybe idk :( I’ll kill my womb some day for its treachery
Omg is this the "living as a duvet for a week" mood? I haven't got out of bed today yet
It’s the staying in bed while dissociating to a point where you don’t feel alive anymore mood 😎
If you can get your hands on some Rick Simpson Oil (RSO), it'll probably help a lot more than smoking or edibles. Hard to find if you're not in a legal country/state, but very worth it if you can.
