I Will be Back to Hurt You Again
Yeah, uh, sorry for the scary title jump scare, y'all. This one sorta just... fell out of me? I had some kind of little splinter that was festering I needed to pop out, apparently. The piece became about my PMDD, which was especially challenging this last couple cycles. It does feel a bit like a specter that comes to visit once a month with the express intent to be cruel. I'm working through it and learning how to live with it as well as starting the slow process of seeking medical assistance, so it's alright, but sometimes a really good visual allegory hits you and you gotta paint it.

It does help a bit when I can predict it... I'm getting better at accepting it and giving myself space to rest during the worst of it, but it still hurts. Sometimes (the cycle in March) hits me without warning, though, so I act in ways that I'm not prepared for and it feels really bad. Thank you friend, I am hoping this new doctor will take it a little more seriously than my last.
