ooouughough i HATE cramps
#:( i’d take another midol but it takes forever to kick in#plus it’s got caffeine and i wanna sleep#idk how i’m gonna do that like this though#ow. ow. ow. ow#fun fact: afabs tend to have a lower pain threshold than amabs but have better pain tolerances#my guess is that the threshold thing is from foraging (hunters can’t be held back by pain but knowing a food/plant is Hurt is important)#and as for the tolerance it’s got to be period cramps#i could NOT handle pain at all when i was a kid#i’d stay up all night crying from growing pains. had a horrible fear of needles bc they always hurt even if i relaxed#(still kinda fear needles tbh)#but when i started getting periods i got a lot better at handling that stuff#now i could skin my knee so bad that the blood is dripping down my calf and just be like ‘ow. that’s gonna be a bitch to heal’#potentially still crying but like normal abt it sorta deal#i’m not too much of a bleeder tho. kinda nice#ANYWAYS point is my uterus feels like an overinflated balloon and god i wish i didn’t have to deal with this#why couldn’t we just reabsorb our uterine lining like so many other mammals#why do we have to menstruate#and why does it have to hurt????? why do we have pain receptors there??? that’s just fucked up
