PMS-y

How are you feeling right now?

Always around the end of the month.

😢 make it stop!

It’s so damn hard to get out of bed and do anything.

Crampy, bloaty, lower back pain, headachy, tired, bitchy.

Blahhh

Ok, fine.

More bitchy than usual. 😆

Mmmm…not a bad idea

Chocolate and a heating pad, please.

A Fukitol would be nice too. Maybe a couple.

Yes…don’t mind if I do. Probably won’t eat the entire plate of chocolate 🍫 errr, maybe?

Sigh.

This too, shall pass.

Sorry y’all for the TMI maybe but it’s the lovely part of being a ✨woman✨ ughhh. 😫

Hope you’re having a better Thirsty Thursday than I am! 🥃🍷

  7. I love this. I don’t think we as women need to apologize for having hormone fueled “moods”. It’s freaking reality. I wrote before about the awesome high I experience when I’m ovulating and I don’t care what anyone says about it. I think this needs to be more of a common subject, males need to be educated. I’ve yet to write about PMS but never say never. It’s real. And it affects everything and everyone around us, including WP peeps.
    Good on ya!

    • Thank you so much, CJ. I think since we’re in healthcare it’s so easy to talk about this stuff, like it’s second nature. And you’re so right, it’s definitely real and a part of everyday life. I know my mood is highly affected and I’m in a good deal of pain so I don’t just carry on like normal, it’s not like me to put on a face, lol. You’re so right! It really does affect so much! Appreciate your kind words and support 😊 means a lot 🙏 would love to hear your experiences too

  8. I love this! Just got past the worst part of my current period (the first and second days both suck for me), and it felt so nice to read something so relatable. I get achy, cramps, and also my mood tanks, I become super self-critical, and I feel an intense feeling of wanting to isolate from people. (Really glad I got it earlier this week and not during the weekend when I have plans to go camping with a couple friends.) I’m most definitely not like the peppy models in tampon ads, lol.

    • Yes! The first and second days are the absolutely worst for me! Ugh 😫 glad you could relate, but sorry that it’s through something painful! lol mood and cramps definitely all over the place, and I feel ya on just wanting to hide under the bed! Tampon ads just make me lol 😂 so unbelievably unrealistic! Enjoy your camping, that sounds like so much fun! 🙏

  13. I feel your pain. Its one of the things that has made turning 50 this year a little better – all that sort of stuff coming to an end. All I have now is a fat belly, night sweats, aches and pains all over my body, forgetfulness, night sweats…what was I saying…losing everything….words mixed up…fat belly…

    • Awww 🥰 thank you Michele! 🙏 you are so kind! Anything hot does seem to help, I’ve got my heating pad on now and had some hot tea 🫖 lol. 🩷 hoping once the first or 2nd day passes I’ll be all good 👍 chocolate does make life so much better! 🍫

      • You’re welcome, Laura. I understand. My periods were terrible – some months debilitating. Ugh is right! I am under a year since my last period. It is awesome! 😌 TMI from me, too! 😄 I don’t mind sharing any of my experience from this life stage. 😊

      • Not at all TMI! We need to be able to talk about it 😆 haha! I’m in healthcare so it comes out just naturally, but I do get how it can be weird for others possibly. Glad you are feeling good about everything, I worry about night sweats and stuff especially with this heat (perhaps before that time comes I’ll be living in a different state!) lol, and so sorry to hear your period was so debilitating, mine definitely can be like that some months, hate that feeling of not wanting to do anything or get out of bed. It’s awful! 😣 Happy you are comfortable sharing 😊 much appreciated, too.

      • Thank you for appreciating. I’ve learned so much over the last couple of years. On my own initiative. I do feel called to share and will do that over time. If I can help other women in any way I am delighted! 💕

  18. God, how I remember those times. I am so glad to have all that behind me. One advantage of going through the change early.

    Heating pads and having the munchies as if I smoked a joint, but without all the feel good.😳

    Hope you feel better soon.
