Premenstrual dyphoric disorder is a condition where people who mensturate get anxious and depressed leading up to and sometimes during the start of periods.
I have not been formally diagnosed with this condition but at times when my body does things I find it extremely uncomfortable not just physically but emotionally.
I like many people have been on a life long journey to discover myself yet who would have thought in my teens someone with XY chromosomes would have the news broken to them they have a uterus?
Some people in my life have been like yeah we know get over it and move on with life. I think in many ways the shock of it was still so great it's playing out still to this day in ways.
I truly value my partner she's been a lifesaver. Today an accident happened and what easily could have sent me into an emotional overload her love and support being there kept me grounded and positive.
The human body is weird n awkward at times it's true for anyone. The people who can take those embarrassing moments and make you laugh it off and feel better for having them by your side when dealing with the issue is a treat.
Friends are not chosen family
They are given family
Every friend who has given
Time, compassion, emotional investment
I choose to acknowledge as Paramount to who I am
For that I give eternal thanks
