ugh we’re in sync buddy, I got nothing except MY OWN PAIN to offer you. As soon as I summon the courage to make an appointment, I’m getting that Pill where your period stops. why did i ever switch off that pill.
*rolls around moaning and clutching self* at least you USED this equipment to actually create adorable tiny lives. My equipment has never done anything to justify itself.
I am the literal worst at making doctor’s appointments (or any appointments at all) so I can offer no support, only solidarity. I went off hormonal birth control entirely about, oh lord, like eight years ago now, because the appointments were too much trouble, but also because they worsened my– I don’t know if there’s a word for it, but basically I lose my mind totally the week before my period? It was SO MUCH WORSE on hormonal birth control.
I have never been offered a pill that would actually stop my period. Friends suggested an IUD, and I’ve looked into that a little bit; my doctor said it might help me not be insane, but I’m secretly worried it will transition the insane to full-time, and then where will I be??
The other downside is that it turns out I am constitutionally incompetent to take a pill every day. (Which was ducky when on SSRIs that had bad withdrawal symptoms. Hooo boy. Don’t do that. I accidentally cold-turkeyed sertraline and have made the executive decision that it was the worst thing ever and I’m just not going to take meds ever anymore for anything? Let me tell you it was bad. It’s like your brain electrocutes you from the inside. Seriously.)
So uh. Barrier methods and deal with it, is a terrible slogan but not all that bad a life. I wish I were competent at like, anything though. Having one’s shit together sounds like a fake idea.
I survived today. Baby steps. Cramp bark and nettle tea.

Aside from the more worrying aspects of taking hormones that convince my body it's pregnant, this is the main reason I am not on BC. If it requires me to take a daily pill, it might as well require me to fly! Not happening.
Why can't hysterectomies be cheap and readily available?!
