how tf do you girls survive a 3hr lecture on the first day of a heavy period? horrible cramps etc etc

35 Upvotes

okay lemme rant

today is the absolute worst day of my cycle, and my cramps are so bad that I can barely stand up straight. I took 800mg of ibuprofen before my 9:00 AM class, but it feels like it didn't even work for the pain. On top of the intense lower back aching, the bloating is so bad that the waistband of my sweatpants is digging into my stomach and making the nausea ten times worse. i had to sit through a grueling 3hr lab today in the uncomfy plastic chairs, terrified the entire time that I was going to leak through my clothes because i ran outta tampons. I was so hyper-focused on managing the physical discomfort and counting down the minutes that I didn't absorb a single word of the material, which means I'm already tracking behind for next week's quiz. thankfully my friend was in the building to bring me a spare tampon and a heating patch. okay now that you got this far hopefully all the guys scrolled passed already. anyways, i was thinking of opening a case on some of the guys on campus who have sa’d anyone or anything along those lines. i was looking to see if anyone had any names they could give me so my friends and i can build a case of people who also went through something similar, i feel the more of us that come forward, maybe the school will actually take this seriously. dm me if you have any names of anyone on campus who we should watch out for and maybe if enough of you guys mention the same person/people, we can do something, so dm me. It is so exhausting trying to maintain a perfect GPA and act like a functioning student when your hormones are actively draining every ounce of your energy. i’m so tired of the unspoken rule that we just have to quietly suffer through this every single month without complaining. Does anyone else get so wiped out by hormonal fatigue during their week that they literally cannot focus on studying, or do you have any holy grail remedies for managing sudden, blinding cramps when you're stuck on campus all day?

Socializing to avoid loneliness and depression

6 Upvotes

Before being depressed I used to be anti social and more introverted. I was okay with doing things by myself and I didn't feel the need to meet people. Now I socialize all the time and I constantly need someone besides me to distract me from my mood. I did make some good friends that understand me and that I can trust, but I feel like it's not doing anything. I feel like meeting people is just a temporary solution to a problem that I can't solve. At the end of the day I just feel lonely and depressed again. Sometimes I even feel that way even when I'm with my friends.

Also I don't feel depressed 24/7, but I can't control my mood when I feel depressed. It feels like something that I can't stop even if I want it to stop so badly. Sometimes I feel happy and I feel normal like I'm not depressed at all. But other times I feel like there's no progress and I'm just so depressed. I've tried many things but I still feel this way and I don't know why.

I don't know where this is going but thank you for reading.

around 12:50 pm i accidentally grabbed a iced pumpkin cream shaken espresso at Starbucks that was supposed to be someone else’s

I didn’t realize it wasn’t mine when I picked it up, and it wasn’t until I was halfway through drinking it that I realized I had grabbed the wrong one.

(REPOST TYPO)

As what the title said above. For a reminder, im a 1st year student currently in SB, and I'm meeting up with one of my professors later today during office hours. This is literally my first time ever doing that, so I wanted to ask others about, what do y'all even do there?? Do you ask questions that you're confused about? Or just ask them to clarify something up for you?? I'm not sure where to start even.. Help me out here, please!😭😭
