I have:

  • joint
  • youtube
  • back/side/hair tickles from bf
  • lavender incense
  • instant ramen for days
  • plush toys
  • green tea for days
  • hot water bottle sometimes
  • specifically blue slush (shaved ice for you psychopaths)

🎵 These are some of my favourite things 🎶

And then a hot bath or shower if the headaches happens. Oh and cover all the mirrors in the house.

But like mine have been so irregular the last couple of months and I don't bleed so it's so hard to know if I'm finally going insane or whoops just my period I'm fine 🙃

Erghhhhhhh last month I ate 4 times what I have in a day in the space of an hour distress

Ergghgggygygkfkwjdhwjdjwkdkwksnznsnz help meeeeee I'm meant to be losing weight asagiri

  • short celebration that I'm not pregnant
  • ibuprofen
  • get away from other people asap
  • cranberry juice
  • binge-eating during the first 24 hours so that I can't feel the cramps as much, especially dessert
  • try to distract myself the best I can with video games
  • hot showers and ice-cold drinks
  • just not giving a fuck about body maintenance for the next 3-4 days
[–] Hime@hexbear.net 1 points 50 minutes ago* (last edited 37 minutes ago)

My biggest mistake is going overboard with body maintenance in some kinda sad attempt to offset the self hate when I should just goblin mode for the week. I just don't wanna have to deal with the office while also looking and feeling like death.

[–] Lawn_and_disorder@hexbear.net 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Getting out of the house. Sorry I could not help myself.

[–] Hime@hexbear.net 1 points 49 minutes ago* (last edited 48 minutes ago) (1 children)

momo-hah

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo little %&*@#

[–] Lawn_and_disorder@hexbear.net 1 points 11 minutes ago* (last edited 10 minutes ago)

😂😅*quietly sneaking out from this thread.

[–] Yukiko@hexbear.net 9 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Heating pad

Midol

Happy things like chocolate or painting minis

No stress

Guess what four things I haven’t had the last four days.

[–] Hime@hexbear.net 6 points 4 hours ago

We cope, that's what we do. I hate it. Hoping you get at least 1 of the 4 soon timmy-pray

[–] StillNoLeftLeft@hexbear.net 8 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Currently enjoying this too. My cycle is so short I feel like I am bleeding all the time. And it is so heavy, I hate working on these days so much.

Can't wait to grow old enough for this to stop. So over it.

[–] Hime@hexbear.net 6 points 4 hours ago

I really can't complain, my little sister gets them so much worse it's like agony-deep

[–] Beetle@hexbear.net 8 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I usually vanish into the void and come back when it’s over… not the greatest strategy maybe idk :( I’ll kill my womb some day for its treachery

[–] Hime@hexbear.net 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Omg is this the "living as a duvet for a week" mood? I haven't got out of bed today yet

[–] Beetle@hexbear.net 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

It’s the staying in bed while dissociating to a point where you don’t feel alive anymore mood 😎

[–] Hime@hexbear.net 4 points 4 hours ago

Throw in a cheeky splash of cluster b gang and it's just days of waiting for everyone to abandon me life.

[–] sunshinesoul@hexbear.net 6 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

i know this sounds insane but my solution for cramps is to lie down with heavy things on my stomach. i swear it moves things along cowboy-cri

[–] Hime@hexbear.net 4 points 5 hours ago

Nooooo I totally get that! Any cramp pressure helps I feel.

Omg your pfp is a chao 😍

[–] socialnuju@hexbear.net 2 points 5 hours ago

I'm curious, tell me more. Been trying to find solutions for the cramps for years and this is the first novel one I've heard.

[–] Balefirex@hexbear.net 13 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I don't get it? Use other punctuation?

[–] Hime@hexbear.net 10 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I don't follow sorry 😐 did you want more full stops?

[–] Balefirex@hexbear.net 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I'm sorry, but I can't tell if you're playing into the bit or not

[–] Hime@hexbear.net 15 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (2 children)

Wait this was a bit? dafoe-horror i was just confused and trying to be polite distress

Edit: just in case .............................

[–] Balefirex@hexbear.net 14 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

In the US/Canada "full stops" are also called "periods" 😭

[–] Hime@hexbear.net 16 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

Oh bocchi-cry do I need to delete my account now? I can't come back from this.

[–] Balefirex@hexbear.net 13 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

just take a rest period and you'll be fine

[–] jaywalker@hexbear.net 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

If you can get your hands on some Rick Simpson Oil (RSO), it'll probably help a lot more than smoking or edibles. Hard to find if you're not in a legal country/state, but very worth it if you can.

[–] Hime@hexbear.net 2 points 5 hours ago

Yeah I have no idea where to get that here sadly 😔

[–] sweet_pecan@hexbear.net 24 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

im physically attached to this heating pad, i also cannot stop eating i feel like a black hole, i fucked up and got myself cookie butter. weed and ibuprofen help. also put on sad music to get the emotions out at the beginning of the day, im actully about to walk to the ocean and dramatically cry by the seaside listening to mitski.

[–] the_post_of_tom_joad@hexbear.net 5 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

Did you mean batter? Otherwise what is cookie butter and why isn't it in my mouth right now?

[–] sweet_pecan@hexbear.net 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

its insanely addicting be careful

[–] the_post_of_tom_joad@hexbear.net 4 points 5 hours ago

My god....its full of stars

[–] Hime@hexbear.net 25 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (2 children)

I made a hexbear account. That's how bad this one is omori-miserable

I need to get one of those cuddley microwaveable warm plushes. I saw a penguin one and I neeeeed it.

I get back into specifically Remembering Sunday every time like I go back to dorky emo girl every month. Like no other songs, just that one lol

Omg don't the very idea of that is sending me. I want to gather shells now 😪 Romantic or bitter sweet anime youtube short edits send me into bits as well and i dont even watch anime anymore. I don't even go looking for them, I lingered too long one time I recognised one I'd seen back in school and now the algorithm suffocates me with them and i always cry and now I'm getting invested in characters and ships I don't even know. Why YouTube. Fuck off.

[–] sweet_pecan@hexbear.net 15 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

oh noooooo, welcome aboard lmao

extremely cute although i prefer the plug in ones because im lazy. hmmmm maybe you need something even stronger, sometimes the only way out of a sob spell is through!! im prescribing the saddest sapphic movie you can find, a cup of herbal tea, and then a brisk walk/stretch. also you gotta start reading fanfics of the ships you dont even know, im sorry thats law.

[–] Hime@hexbear.net 8 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

I know it's terminal i thought I'd became a cool grass toucher and everything sanji-pain

You can get those? Erghhh that would make my lazy ways easier. My adhd has me listening to a rotation of true crime, serial killers, cave diving deaths, mountaineering disasters, reading about tarot and youtuber drama. I'm too far gone this month.

Nooooo who the fuck is alya anyway and why does she hide her feelings in Russian? I'm like girl, get a grip and tell him or lose him to the sister who loves checks notes incest movies? Wait what?! This is all I've gotten of the plot so far and it's wild. I do not want to see where the fanfiction goes.

[–] the_post_of_tom_joad@hexbear.net 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

My adhd has me listening to a rotation of true crime, serial killers...

Do you like Last Podcast on the Left?

[–] Hime@hexbear.net 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I've not listened to any podcasts catgirl-sorry

[–] the_post_of_tom_joad@hexbear.net 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

They are quite funny, just 3 dudes talking about creepy things both real and imaginary.

I really dug their recent 2 parter on the history of executions. Sounds like you have a list of media already but if you want more i could link a couple of my favorite episodes on serial killers. Ah! Their creepy-pastas episodes, where they find the worst written short stories on the Internet and read them as seriously as they can? Hilarious.

Have a look when you're in the market for new material! 🙂

[–] Hime@hexbear.net 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Do they put stuff on YouTube? I'll find it there if so 💪

[–] the_post_of_tom_joad@hexbear.net 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

They do. Here ya go Last podcast on the Left

And here's their website (for yourself or anyone who prefers to listen from there)

[–] Hime@hexbear.net 2 points 4 hours ago

Awesome thank you aubrey-happy

rosa-salute

In between the comments ive found out her older sister knows our MC. Holy shit.

Good luck have fun and be yourself!!

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

My spouse loves her menstruation crustacean, so I do second that. If you have rice and any clean old socks, you might be able to rig one for yourself with rice and maybe a bit of the lavender oil in the sock. Tie, microwave. You've really hit all the other things I've learned. Welcome to hexbear and good luck comrade.

[–] Hime@hexbear.net 6 points 7 hours ago

I got a crab loofa yesterday! Omg it's so cute it's a plush crab holding the loofa. Crustacean/sea life related things!!!! Fuck yeaaaaaaaaaah.

Oh God that's a lot of stress rn, might be one for the bf to puzzle out for me nia-smug

Every time it's a bad month I go looking for a new miracle cure to feeling crap like I don't know how this is going to play out already.

Awwwh thank you aubrey-happy

[–] reaper_cushions@hexbear.net 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

My girlfriend always has some blackcurrant juice when she’s on her period. You might want to thin it out with some sparkling water, though.

[–] Hime@hexbear.net 8 points 8 hours ago

Cranberry gang for me 💪

[–] Binette@lemmy.ml 16 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I just fucking die 🫠

[–] Hime@hexbear.net 16 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Mood

I swear I just become consumption. I want to be filled and I'm not bothered how.

[–] joel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

My gf just went though the same thing last week, sounds fucking awful. She just drinks / smokes weed, so not much I can say to help, sorry!

[–] Hime@hexbear.net 11 points 9 hours ago

meow-hug

She's a trooper, I can't drink when I'm on, it just makes me cry more somehow.
