I was talking to one of my sisters back home who was panicking.
Panicking that she was possibly pregnant.
Unfortunately, once you hit university, this becomes a bit more...common than it should be.
I've calmed many friends and been calmed myself about a late period.
It's kind of retarded how much more anxious you are about that than you are about an exam! You are looking at yourself going what the hell, man, you never were supposed to be like this!
Well...yea.
It takes the prize for anxiety worries amongst the girls I know more than school does. ...eesh.
It freaks you out when it happens, you're like why did I do it! Or you get paranoid and buy plan b, which is, a. expensive, and b. a fucking huge dose of hormones that mess with your body.
Or you start looking up the other options. If you are pregnant, what are you going to do? Abortion? How much does it cost? We don't want that on our parents' insurance.
It's really not funny, but we have a tendency to kid around with each other about it to calm ourselves down, pretty much.
Mine was pretty late, and worse than usual. Potential miscarriage, my friend suggested, as she's had one and only knew because she had actually gotten a test and it was positive before it happened. But it's hard to tell in the early stages, as it's just like your period, just heavier and wayy more crampage.
I was freaking out, cuz I can't hide shit, and really nervous, kind of scared. Shit, I don't want to talk about this. I don't know what it was, but I'm pretty sure it was stress, moving here, etc that messed it up. Not a miscarriage. Nonetheless, anxiety about it is the worst.
hmm. sucks being a girl. haha.
