Hate being a woman sometimes 🙄

Wtf is actually wrong with our bodies? No, seriously. You get 30 days in a month, 5 of which are reserved for periods, 3-7 days before that are hijacked by PMS, cause why the hell not, then comes ovulation, throwing in another round of hormonal chaos for a week. By the time you get a few decent days, the whole cycle starts again. Who tf designed our bodies like this?

This past week has been hell. I’ve been so tired. My entire body is in pain, especially my lower back. I keep getting headaches (sometimes migraine level). This time, I was actually worried, maybe I didn’t get enough rest over the weekend, or maybe I did some exercise wrong at the gym, but oh no, it’s my fucking uterus. And the mood swings, oh my fucking god, the sadness that creeps up on you during PMS. And the urge to stop talking to everyone in your life and just go into hiding. Everyone keeps asking, "Why tf do you look so sad and tired and miserable all the time?" What are you supposed to tell them? "Oh, I didn’t give a baby to my uterus this month again, so it’s making me pay!" And yeah, after going through this for the whole week, I got my period today, which is making me even more miserable.

I don’t even wanna have a baby, seriously! I really don’t. I’m more of an adoption person. Why do I have to go through all of this, seriously? I have honestly considered getting rid of this fucking thing, but apparently, that’s not how it works. You can’t just get rid of your uterus. A hysterectomy is an option, sure, but doctors don’t just hand those out unless you have a serious medical condition.

Honestly, are our bodies just fancy ovens to bake babies in? How tf am I supposed to compete with my male colleagues when my body literally fights me for half the month? At my workplace, they have a saying about how three things count. I’ve forgotten the other two, but third is stamina. Where the fuck am I supposed to get this stamina from when my hormones keep fucking me over?

Honestly, how do I unsubscribe from this? (I know I can’t, it’s my frustration speaking.) But maybe in the afterlife, if I happen to run into the ‘deity’ responsible for making women’s bodies like this, that asshole better watch its back!

PS: FYI, this is a periods inspired rant, which I will delete in sometime. It’s not so bad all the times, it’s just that this time it is, and the stakes are quite high, and I don’t like slowing down. I was just feeling this rage and had to get it out!

It’s bad when you’re in a male dominated workplace and you’re unable to speak about this cause you’re afraid they’ll say, “see, this why we don’t hire women”. How do you even address this? What do you girls do?

Edit: Not gonna delete this cause so many of you gals resonate with this. I’m feeling better now, now that I had some tea and chocolate, my anger has calmed down too 😆

Sending you all hugs for the shared struggles, we really go through a lot and still keep showing up. Hope you're all taking care of yourselves ❤️🫂
