Do you ever feel like you just can’t do it?
I woke up this morning with cramp and the usual, took some pills, showered, prepared for work, when it was time to leave I just went down this mental vortex of how I can’t be chewed to go to work, don’t want to interact with anyone and all the negatives etc etc …
Didn’t want to call in sick, even tho I guess it really is sickness … . So have made an excuse for being late however would do anything to avoid this day and the interactions it needs me to have. It’s like I just can’t do it.
It sucks.

I know. It’s frustrating and overwhelming. I went through the same a week ago (and again in twenty days). Can’t wait 
Hang in there

Oh I feel you! It’s emotionally overwhelming. For me, it’s also physically overwhelming. Without IUD and pain meds, I’d be vomiting and having diarrhea simultaneously, the cramps would be so bad I couldn’t even sit. And still think I should go to work???
I hope you’re managing!

Ah thanks that’s really nice.
I’ve got past it. I didn’t call in sick (I really try and avoid that) but I made an excuse not to go in and took and emergency holiday.
It’s mainly the social side that I struggle with, I’m anti social enough even on a good day… But just then I recon I would have blown up and flown off the handle at people or something.
It’s a shame I can’t just be honest with the employer, but there’s just absolutely no way you could ring up and say I can’t come in cause I’ve got pms so I can’t handle seeing anyone let alone having to engage with them politely… It’s just a no go, so you have to come up with some polite fabrication. Pfffffttt.

I know that sooo good 
For me it was the decision between pest and colera: go to work and be a suffering, blooding hell of a hissing, grumpy, gnarling biologocical victim of female biology bullshit or stay at home and suffer alone and well cared by hot water bottle, tea, cosy bed and no worries about to bleed on my cloths, furniture etc. because well packed 
either there was no way to interact social in a polite, normal manner. the horrendous bleedings stopped after my surgery when the uterus was grilled. best thing I ever did for my health AND wellbeeing

Hey ladies!!! So I usually get really bad PMS where I have to lay in a dark room all day the day before my period. But the last two months that didn’t happen! (
) Instead it was like day 2 of my period I was a negative crying sobbing mess. Ugh, I am feeling better today. I guess it’s just weird that it switched up on me. I was bragging to my fiancé that I didn’t get PMS and then bam, it hit me way later.
Oh well, hopefully the worst of it is over. I was driving around yesterday listening to the piano version of “Where is my mind?” … after crying all day… gotta love those hormones.
@anon74766472 glad I have this thread to come vent about it at, thank you!

Hey @erntedank did the “grilling” change your symptoms related to hormonal changes as well? I’ve been suggested IUD but afraid of it cause I always get the worst side effects from any hormonal “help”. So next week going through some not so nice examination to see if I’m a good roast candidate. It gives me creeps already

Hi @Fireweed
As the grill only effects the endometrium and in the best case you stop bleeding or have only minor bleedings afterwards (like me, my endometrium was very thick) there are no direct hormonal effects.
what I experienced was a massive gain in quality of life due to reduced blood loss. my body adapted after 6 months with reduction of cramps. in my opinion because there was nothing more to be cramped out of my uterus, but that’s just a personal feeling.
three years after the surgery I still can say, it was one of the best decisions in my life concerning quality of life and increasing my blood iron level.

Day 32 of my cycle. Feeling in a deep hole of self-pity. I want to believe it’ll pass, yet I feels so real.
Noone will love me, won’t ever find a relationship again. Which I normally don’t give a shit. And I know the fucking answers of: you have to love yourself first. Blah. Blewwww.
End of rant.
