    i’m feeling real upset today and this time i’m bitter about it. you guys know those tweets where women are like “i don’t take painkillers on my period, not even paracetamol! i like to see how long i can go without them” etc. they never used to bother me much but recently i’ve been feeling an insane amount of jealousy over it. like oh that must be nice. i don’t even have that option because the pain is so debilitating. it’s the same thing i feel when i watch pad/tampon adverts. pls does anyone relate or am i being TOO sensitive

    You’re absolutely valid in how you’re feeling. The truth is it’s so hard and so exhausting dealing with all these conditions and all the pain and all the symptoms all the time but sometimes you just wish you could live a different life. So when I see people talking about how pain-free their period is or telling me they don’t even know when their period is coming and can do everything and anything whilst on their period, I’ll be honest it pisses me off not because I want them to experience what I go through, but because why the hell am I going through this?

    Trust me, I get this aswell. I’ve never once a day in my life has a ‘medication free’ period and I’m so envious of those who do! It’s very valid to feel jealous. Having a chronic condition isn’t easy at all, and I’m not a jealous person but the one thing I’m jealous of are those who have great health 🫠
