aio because my family wont stop making fun of me for having bloody underwear
god this is embarrassing
i dont usually do reddit but wtv. anyways, my family likes to make fun of me for having bloody underwear. ok so like i just recently got a period tracking app, like two weeks ago recent. so before that, i had no idea when my period would come, so every time my period started i would end up with blood all over my pants and underwear. nasty, i know, but if youre a woman (which i so unfortunately was born as), you will know that its not really something you can control.
anyways, since period blood leaves a stain, whenever my family finds my underwear, they just have to make fun of me. and its not like i just leave it around or anything. i do my own laundry, and my family usually folds clothes together, and thats when they see it. (that means its already been washed. just want to clarify.) anyways, they, especially my dad and sister, will talk about how i “shit myself” and laugh their asses off. its beyond embarrassing. but theres nothing i can do since teasing is normal in my family, and if i say that im uncomfortable with it, i get bullied even more. (i think i might have social anxiety or something because of this, but wtv.)
at some point, my sister thought it would be fucking hilarious to freeze my underwear. like, freeze it so that its a big square and my underwear is smack dab in the middle, and then place it in the freezer. it showed up a couple days ago, but i didnt know what it was and decided to ignore it. bad idea. i will now be checking every new mysterious thing that randomly shows up in the freezer. earlier, my dad called for me, so went into the kitchen, and saw my sister holding the block of ice that was my bloodstained underwear and my mom, dad, and sister laughing their asses off. i was mortified, because what the fuck? i grab the ice, yell at them for how weird they are (they just keep laughing, they are always laughing), and spend five minutes defrosting it in the sink with water. my sister kept walking past and snickering, so i just scowl at her and tell her that shes weird, and she just doubles down and says its funny. she always does that. like, i love her, but shes so fucking annoying.
i am positively pissed. this is insane, even by their standards. like i know its nasty to have bloody underwear and shit, and its embarrassing as hell, but i cant fucking help it. i have a period tracking app now, so hopefully it helps, but i still cant control when my period starts.
am i in the wrong for being mad? am i overreacting?
