hey if your period literally fucking cripples you every month but everyone keeps telling you that's normal and you're just overreacting

consider that it might not be normal

I've been on the depo shot contraceptive for several years longer than you're supposed to because it manages these symptoms, I had to go off it for a while by doctor suggestion to reassess if I still need it, my period has been back for three days and I'm seeing my doctor TODAY to get back on depo because I just can't handle the physical and emotional toll it takes on me

this shit is genuinely crippling, I cannot function, don't let people convince you that this is normal, listen to your body and get help

i just learned premenstrual exacerbation (PME) is a thing which is like. when your menstrual cycle makes pre-existing conditions worse (especially mental health conditions). i'm starting to wonder if i have either this, PMS, or PMDD... or both PMS or PMDD and PME. (yes ik PMS isn't the same as PMDD, i just dont track my symptoms well enough to know if it's just regular ol' PMS or not)... time to download a period tracker

“The only sane response to an emergency is activism.”

Get your free copy of “Psychology of Apocalypse” for a deep understanding of the crises of environment & fascism & the necessary heroes arising now.

The book, "Psychology of Apocalypse: Ecopsychology, Activism, and the Prenatal Roots of Humanicide" by Michael Adzema is available for free from August 26th - 30th, 2024, and again from December 2nd - 6th, 2024.

Adzema's work explores the impact of prenatal experiences on human behavior, societal dynamics, and environmental attitudes. It delves into the concept of prenatal suffering as the foundational cause of human evil, shaping emotions and behaviors, and contributing to societal issues such as violence, bigotry, and pollution

Additionally, the book emphasizes the importance of activism and heroism in addressing environmental threats and societal challenges, offering a thought-provoking exploration of early experiences' profound influence on humanity.

It addresses the urgent call to action to avert potential global devastation due to nuclear threats and environmental degradation.

Additionally, it delves into themes of violence, sacrifice, and heroism, emphasizing the need for emotionally connected heroism in facing challenges.

In Adzema's words, "The only sane response to an emergency is activism … and the sanest response is heroism. Not sainthood. Not enlightenment. Not social status. Not corporate success. Not any kind of material achievement.

"No. the only sane response to a situation where we stand in front of a house on fire is to pick up a bucket. Anything else is numb, unfeeling, quite dissociated, and selfish.

"And when one is inside that house, the only response is to get out the fire extinguisher, seek to help the ones inside to get free from the flames, to minimize the suffering of others and to save others and oneself, regardless if one succeeds or not.

"The only sane response is thus heroism."

ppl with premenstrual disorders need paid sick leave during the luteal phase. awareness won't save me if this illness keeps me stuck in poverty bc employers will always penalize me for being physically unable to work for a few days per month. literally the only accommodation that would make a real difference for me is paid premenstrual leave. this would also be suicide prevention for a lot of ppl with these conditions. deadass

One moment you’re soaring on the wings of creativity, deeply invested in a scene, and the next, your body is like, Nope, we’re crying now—

—over a commercial, or because that one chord progression in a song felt too powerful. Chronic hormonal sensitivity can feel like you’re walking on eggshells with your own body, never quite knowing what each day will bring. It’s not just the mood swings; it’s the physical toll. You might be deep into editing or brainstorming, but a sudden hot flash or muscle ache pulls you out of focus. You lose time just managing the physical symptoms.

That unpredictability can disrupt the delicate balance between creativity and productivity. Writing requires a certain level of emotional engagement, but when you’re extra sensitive to emotional triggers, you might find yourself overwhelmed by your own stories. A scene that’s meant to be joyful might hit you harder than expected, or a conflict between characters could amplify your own stress.

Then there’s the mental fog that sometimes comes with hormonal fluctuations. You want to work on that intricate plot twist or complex character development, but your brain feels like it’s swimming in molasses. All of it combines to create this tricky dance between your body, your emotions, and the very stories you’re trying to tell.

But here’s the thing: when you manage to harness those heightened emotions, it can bring a richness to your writing that might not have been there otherwise.

We often talk about hormones in terms of balance, but the truth is, they’re never static. They’re in constant flux, shifting in response to everything from stress to sleep. So when we talk about ‘hormonal balance,’ it’s not really about perfect stillness—because that doesn’t exist—it’s more about finding a sense of stability amid the chaos. And for those of us whose bodies seem allergic to their own fluctuations, that idea of balance can feel like chasing a mirage, always just out of reach.

My eyes move in and out of focus, I switch back and forth from being present to getting lost in the dialogue in my mind. Why I’d ever choose to be more present there, than right here, is beyond me. Smiling kids, someone’s favorite song playing softly in the background on the coffee shop’s playlist. Sometimes, I feel on days like today I’m seeing the world through eyes that are not my own. If you’re not careful, you can begin to believe the veil. 

Today, I’ll transmute the experience into art, into a journal entry that takes a positive spin, into sending love outward to a friend. Knowing what this particular realm feels like, is one of the cards I have been dealt. I wouldn’t be the same without having experienced it though, and I (you) offer something beautiful to the world — perspective, empathy, and all of your unique lessons. This is our catalyst for growth, breathe into it.
