oh you're freaking out about your life already?? how about a side of Pregnancy Scare??

I was 99% sure I wasn't pregnant before I got piss all over my hand trying to check, but it's a really fun little scientific activity to pee in a cup and on myself and then use a little dropper to sprinkle some on a test, so I didn't mind

haha jk I absolutely hated it

Sorry if this is weird, I'm not really a good communicator, but like what can someone who doesn't have a menstrual cycle say/do/consider to make it easier on someone who does when they're going through it? I feel bad for my friends who have to deal with it, but ngl I'm pretty stupid

Be patient and ask if they need anything, like meds or food or someone to talk to. It's different for everyone, so keep in mind they will have different needs. Just check on them like you would any friend and be kind. For some it can be very debilitating and scary depending on their circumstances. Also it's not stupid to ask how to be a better friend/person, it's nice that you even asked imo!

Thanks for the advice, things are getting kinda hard right now but I try to do my best to make things easier for my friends.
