I am having the worst morning. Oh my God. I shouldn’t even be having a period. My doctor told me the BC he put me on should have ended those for me. But here I am. Surprise!
So I washed my boyfriend’s sheets yesterday because of this. Wake up this morning, I can already tell it’s a heavy day. Great. Get up. Get taken care of, products replaced. Try to discreetly make sure there’s no evidence in the sheets, boyfriend pulls me back into bed to go back to sleep. Shit. Okay. Lay down for a bit and try not to move any muscles because I do not trust the tampon.
20 minutes of trying to will my uterus into submission, I can feel it. Shit. Get up. Start walking to the dresser to get another tampon. Well. You’re vertical now. SHIT. Mad dash for the bathroom.
Murder scene. Forensic teams with luminol would be horrified. Just have to get straight into the shower. Come out, clean the blood from the carpet and the rug.
I fucking hate being a woman. I feel like after almost 29 years on this planet, I shouldn’t have stories like this. I should be able to navigate periods /gracefully/ and without incident. I feel like a mess of a human.
