SMACKING MYSELF UPSIDE THE HEAD WHEN I REMEMBER I CANNOT BE DEFINITIVE ABOUT ANY FEELINGS OF DESPAIR DURING THIS PHASE OF MY CYCLE

I feel like I post about this constantly but yeah, I have PMDD, endometriosis and am in my luteal phase and it SHOWS. I wish there was a better way to communicate this to people without sounding like a pick me. Because if you don‘t also go through this yourself, I fear it sounds fake and dramatic. But every month at this time I feel like the world is ending and just want to be held and told I am not crazy. Because my default mode is to gaslight myself instead of showing myself patience and understanding. I am working on it but also know it’s not something I need to or can improve fully, I just need to accept it and live with it. Okay thanks for listening xoxo.

THIS IS OVULATION

i thought i was crazy for literal years growing and realized this feeling only happens when i ovulate, knowing it will pass will help you regain power. make the conscious decision to not act on any impulse that you have now that wouldn’t occur to you when your body isn’t giving you cues to reproduce. also avoid spaces online or irl that trigger you to chase that dopamine. just remember that you’re not crazy or bad, it’s very natural to have these urges and moods. remind yourself of the power and control you do have in the choices you make and the things you do. I have PMDD and it affects my moods intensely but learning about it and cycle tracking have helped me take control over my life and accept my feelings and impulses as part of a larger hormonal cycle, not a judgement of my character or true desires. I wish someone told me this many years ago so I didn’t have to spend so much time worrying that i’m bad or wrong or crazy when I was actually just hormonal.

🍲

focus On nutrient dense foods

Magnesium, vitamin e, omega 3, high fiber foods. Ginger, peppermint, chamomile tea. Red raspberry leaf tea is that bitch!!! It’s helpful to supplement throughout the whole month, but you can really treat yourself to dishes that include these right before and during your cycle. I also have the Internet that there has been a correlation with PMDD and people having a low tolerance for histamine. They state that taking an allergy pill helps. I can’t speak more on this, but that’s something you can look into.

Locs

Self care has always been an important form of meditation for me. Taking the time daily to water or style my Locs has been so fruitful in that regard. I’ve had them 7 years in March 🥹 they’ve taught me so much about myself, and I plan on continuing to grow them as long as I can maintain their health.
