remember when we were kids and adults said your period was only a few days a month, but now ur an adult and you realize the week before your period sucks, the week of your period sucks, and sometimes the week after also sucks, leaving us with one week max of peace. lol what a con

did anyone else get told that pms was what happened during your period, or only the week before it, as though the other weeks were just regular normalcy??? I now realize pms is like...most of life for people with vaginas and wow the audacity

oh and let's throw in chronic illness in there too, and you can be like me, who had a period every day for OVER A YEAR as a teen and just accepted it like "hey what can you do!" and dr's weren't helpful, because women's pain often isnt addressed or taken seriously medically yay!!
