I wasn’t fishing for compliments. I cannot really say what drove my impulsive thinking. I’ve been deleting many accounts over the last 4 years or so. I think the reason went into some farther away brain region for now.

I think my body made it to another cycle after 44 days. This one has been the worst in a long time. I really hope that parts of my mental struggles are attributable a bit to this.
I yelled at my colleague and stormed out of the office but she deserved it tbh 
And tomorrow on day 1 to the dentist. Lucky me.

Anyone else suffer so bad during ovulation? Luckily the pain is gone after one day but man, I think I hate it more than period itself. Ugh

Luckily not, I guess.
That sucks.
Although I would be grateful I would feel something as I could then say when the period begins. But not something painful.

I was for the most part uncomfortable for about the past two years.
But I would say that it was extremely bad last year. In the sense that I was having extreme depressive episodes. I also have general anxiety but my anxiety doubled. And of course, cramping. All this was during ovulation. 
I’m on my fifth month of low-dose birth control (it’s my first time ever on birth control). So far it has worked wonders. I’m hoping I have more years of peace before menopause truly hits me.

have you been checked for endometriosis?
it can be a cause for this shit.
a friend had to knock herself out by medical advice with hormones in her mid 30s due to it

I’ve googled endometriosis and its symptoms and I doubt I have it to be honest ( thanks for info anyways 
). My periods are rather light and painless, besides eating like crazy and being overly pissed it’s not that bad. Ovulation is the time I suffer. I feel like somebody is stabbing me every couple of minutes, this month it’s right side, next month it will be left then. But hey, luckily it takes no longer than one day. I wouldn’t swap it for irregular periods like Frazi have or super painful and strong like I’m sure many of you have. I still consider myself lucky. And I feel for you girls 
I just want to RIP. But not coffin style. Just nice book, sofa, blanket and a tea style

That’s the attitude 
Some years ago there was an exhibition about death explained for kids. I went there with a friend an one of her kids. You could test a coffin. It was quite a comfy coffin tbh.

After my dead body! ()
But honestly, I don’t even like to sleep with a bedroom door closed, no coffins for me.

I feel like a balloon
I am hungry.
I am sad.
I want to go crazy in a supermarket and grap all sweets and crisps and junk. Hahhaha.
Gosh.
At least it just stated at day 27. So might be a short episode.
Edit: I made it to a yoga class which was hard and ate salmon and carrots with lemon and butter afterwards.

I’m on day 34 and still no sign of my period arriving. Though I had two periods last month so I dunno whether I’m being spared? I really doubt it works like that. I’ve been pretty sick the last several days so maybe that is why. Or whatever [insert].
I did a spin class first thing this morning and it was chilly out but the instructor had the heating on in the spin room. Myself and Deepa, she’s 51, got less than five minutes into the class and we say to the guy we are boiling. He knows Deepa personally I believe, but he said loudly “that’s your menopause talking”. I really love this guy, he’s an absolute sweetheart, but it just really irritated me. How casual to use women’s hormones and physiology against us?

Maybe it was maybe it wasn’t but the fact is you were burning up. That would upset me too even if they are generally a nice person. It was dismissive of what you were actually feeling. Maybe he was not hot for something going on in his body You can only take so many layers off.

Oof I am struggling lately with hormones….I am up and down like a yoyo….I have neck ache like you wouldn’t believe, I have to see a physio at the GPs next week to try and work out what is going on with it, ive put up with that way too long, I got really upset about something on here last night followed by anger and im still livid this morning but thats not really me either, I dont know what my cycles are because im on the implant and i dont get periods on it so no idea what is going on, feels good to vent tho

Exactly same situation towards 2 ladies that are in the 50ies and got the windows open in our training class room. Yes… There was a class before, the air was dirty, it is winter.
Normal to let fresh air in.
And one guy joked at them, “it is the menopause ladies”. They did not react. I said something like “wow how charming you are!” and he answered “you are not ready hm?!” HAHHAHA HOW FUNNY
Sorry I look young.
And yeah I agree, it is somehow weird to joke about it!!!

It’s just weird that they think it’s OK to joke about… I agree, I love to be cool during a workout and often the classes smell a bit after being used… We could all do with more fresh air and respect and doing this… - - - - - →

Diagnosis of PMDD, hormonal imbalances and endometriosis here ~ genuinely don’t think men understand the role hormones play in women!! The emotions, the pain ~ all of it is deeply real !

In general, as I catch up on this thread: No uterus, no opinion, keep your mouth shut ignorant motherfucker.
I personally flipped out on such comments all my life. As I have a loud voice and a sharp tongue, the shut up was immediate and lasting. Always. I hate to be intimidated by assholes with no clue.

I think our hormones cause much less chaos in this world than too much testosterone.
