Cuz you all so want to know.
My period is debilitating.
All I can on the first and usually second day is lie in bed, cry, shit, and eat.
I have terrible terrible cramps.
I think it's from my lack of physical activity. Because I notice it's not as bad during the times I've tried to exercise throughout the month.
But it really sucks.
Yesterday I had to go get a physical at the new job, and the nurse and I really bonded over this shared experience of intense cramps. She hugged me afterward. It was almost weird.
What sucks the most is that I have to work and can't. Like a lot. Class is tomorrow night and I'm trying so hard right now to prepare my lecture, but can't. And last night I was too stuffed from dinner and I had massive cramps and my entire body ached and I couldn't focus.
Yesterday's dinner was steak with lots of herbs and butter, mashed potatoes, asparagus, and tomatoes. Second dinner was half a Caesar salad that I went out and got at Grevey's (but they didn't have anchovies which is what I was craving.... so it wasn't that good).
Plus, I've been eating soooo much crappy Halloween chocolate.
I dunno what to do.
Plus, I'm thirsty all the time and paranoid that I have type 2 diabetes, and in too much pain/don't care enough to find my glucometer.
When I was on birth control years ago I didn't have cramps. I hardly had a period at all. I was depressed, frigid, and completely nuts most of the time.
Off the pill I became horny as all hell, and following that, much more happy and sane.
I dunno.
Condoms suck.
And cramps suck.
I don't ever want to be on birth control, but I can't handle this right.
I'm going for acupuncture at noon, which should help. But what the fuck do I do now????
David and I are going to NYC this weekend. I'm trying to convince him to go to Austin to visit Eden instead.
