Im putting this before hand, not sure if this goes in rants or discussion so i just chose at random lol

i’ve heard people rant and rave about how day 2 is the worst but, i NEVER seen anyone other than myself and my mom (no longer her because perimenopause) complain about how HORRIBLE day 1 is, constant cramping, bleeding like you’re in a saw movie and you’re the next victim, bloating, tiredness, short temper, etc, i know periods are all different for everyone but it’s weird how out of ALL the women/AFAB people in the world i’ve only met 1 other person that has day 1 as their worst day

I never met another person with anxiety that also gets random stomach aches before bed, honestly a little weird and always make me thing “it’s too damn late for this to be happening I just want to sleep” and obviously I take my own temperature because I am also a hypochondriac (so fun!) and I’m at my average temp which Is a little elevated at around 98.8-99.0, I’ve always ran warm don’t worry. I know the whole brain gut reaction thing, such a pain lol so obviously it’s connected to me being tired which causes my anxiety to act up which then gives me a stomach ache so clear answer right there but that little voice in my head is always telling me to worry lol. It used to be SOOOOO much worse before I was medicated, sometimes I cant believe I only got medicated at the end of the quarantine phase of covid, I was SUCH a mess I’m talking 3 panic attacks a day and would refuse to leave me room type of mess, Prozac is a LIFE SAVER!!! Funnily enough once I started taking it I found out everyone in my family took it at least once in their life, almost like a famil tree wide medication
