#and i am doing a lot of exercise. i have german cheerleading championships next week. i need to eat

I used to rarely get any (noticeable) PMS symptoms and now I'm in my mid twenties and like a week before my period, I start just having suuuper low energy no matter how much sleep I get or how well I eat, my ADHD meds lose at least 50% of their effectiveness and worst of all, I randomly feel super nauseous and sometimes do actually throw up. I do not! Like this!

Today's my first day on my period and I'm in pain, but wow suddenly I have energy again? I am motivated to clean my room? My meds kicked in? Wtf

Anyway I refuse to do this for the next 20 or so years, so I should probably bite the bullet and get to a gynecologist and talk about birth control pills (and then potentially eventually implants and such). Though me being enby complicates that bc I absolutely do not want more estrogen in my body - there's options without it but... Yeah.

I don't actually have a gynecologist. I know I should have one, and get regular checkups even when I'm not having sex but like.... The combo of being ace and enby and uncomfortable with the idea of all that plus the adhd making making phone calls hard.... Yeah.

#period talk #gynecologist #fucking ugh #but yeah like. i can deal with the pain and the bleeding but the nausea fucks me up #adhd already makes eating regular meals hard #being nauseous? does not help!!! #and i am doing a lot of exercise. i have german cheerleading championships next week. i need to eat #so..... #can i yeet my uterus is that an option? #no I'm probably too young for them to let me do that #could also go on T that'll potentially stop my period at some point but eh idk #enby healthcare is so frustrating bc there's no info on it available and doctors don't know shit about it #like.... physcally the only changes I'd really want from T is my period stopping and some more muscles and... idj #idk maybe a deeper voice? does T even do that? #but other changes don't really sound that fun #like i don't really want a beard or whatever and i generally like my face shape? idk if I'd want it to change #like. I'd need a doctor i trust and who knows their shit to really talk this through #but germany.... like we're finally at the point where maybe if you say you're enby ppl might have heard of that before #anyway I'm gonna take an Ibuprofen and clean my room i guess
