I have:

joint
youtube
back/side/hair tickles from bf
lavender incense
instant ramen for days
plush toys
green tea for days
hot water bottle sometimes
specifically blue slush (shaved ice for you psychopaths)

🎵 These are some of my favourite things 🎶

And then a hot bath or shower if the headaches happens. Oh and cover all the mirrors in the house.

But like mine have been so irregular the last couple of months and I don't bleed so it's so hard to know if I'm finally going insane or whoops just my period I'm fine 🙃

Erghhhhhhh last month I ate 4 times what I have in a day in the space of an hour

Ergghgggygygkfkwjdhwjdjwkdkwksnznsnz help meeeeee I'm meant to be losing weight

im physically attached to this heating pad, i also cannot stop eating i feel like a black hole, i fucked up and got myself cookie butter. weed and ibuprofen help. also put on sad music to get the emotions out at the beginning of the day, im actully about to walk to the ocean and dramatically cry by the seaside listening to mitski.
- I made a hexbear account. That's how bad this one is
  
  I need to get one of those cuddley microwaveable warm plushes. I saw a penguin one and I neeeeed it.
  I get back into specifically Remembering Sunday every time like I go back to dorky emo girl every month. Like no other songs, just that one lol
  Omg don't the very idea of that is sending me. I want to gather shells now 😪 Romantic or bitter sweet anime youtube short edits send me into bits as well and i dont even watch anime anymore. I don't even go looking for them, I lingered too long one time I recognised one I'd seen back in school and now the algorithm suffocates me with them and i always cry and now I'm getting invested in characters and ships I don't even know. Why YouTube. Fuck off.

  oh noooooo, welcome aboard lmao

  extremely cute although i prefer the plug in ones because im lazy. hmmmm maybe you need something even stronger, sometimes the only way out of a sob spell is through!! im prescribing the saddest sapphic movie you can find, a cup of herbal tea, and then a brisk walk/stretch. also you gotta start reading fanfics of the ships you dont even know, im sorry thats law.
  
  My spouse loves her menstruation crustacean, so I do second that. If you have rice and any clean old socks, you might be able to rig one for yourself with rice and maybe a bit of the lavender oil in the sock. Tie, microwave. You've really hit all the other things I've learned. Welcome to hexbear and good luck comrade.
- What is cookie butter and why isn't it in my mouth right now?
  
  its insanely addicting be careful
I just fucking die 🫠
- Mood
  I swear I just become consumption. I want to be filled and I'm not bothered how.
I don't get it? Use other punctuation?
- I don't follow sorry 😐 did you want more full stops?
  
  I'm sorry, but I can't tell if you're playing into the bit or not
My gf just went though the same thing last week, sounds fucking awful. She just drinks / smokes weed, so not much I can say to help, sorry!
- She's a trooper, I can't drink when I'm on, it just makes me cry more somehow.
My girlfriend always has some blackcurrant juice when she’s on her period. You might want to thin it out with some sparkling water, though.
- Cranberry gang for me 💪
I usually vanish into the void and come back when it’s over… not the greatest strategy maybe idk :( I’ll kill my womb some day for its treachery
- Omg is this the "living as a duvet for a week" mood? I haven't got out of bed today yet
  
  It’s the staying in bed while dissociating to a point where you don’t feel alive anymore mood 😎
Heating pad
Midol
Happy things like chocolate or painting minis
No stress
Guess what four things I haven’t had the last four days.
- We cope, that's what we do. I hate it. Hoping you get at least 1 of the 4 soon
  
  I hope it just ends soon. Today's day 4 so it should finish soon. Should. Hopefully you find your answers cause PMS is a bitch.
Currently enjoying this too. My cycle is so short I feel like I am bleeding all the time. And it is so heavy, I hate working on these days so much.
Can't wait to grow old enough for this to stop. So over it.
- I really can't complain, my little sister gets them so much worse it's like
short celebration that I'm not pregnant
ibuprofen
get away from other people asap
cranberry juice
binge-eating during the first 24 hours so that I can't feel the cramps as much, especially dessert
try to distract myself the best I can with video games
hot showers and ice-cold drinks
just not giving a fuck about body maintenance for the next 3-4 days
- My biggest mistake is going overboard with body maintenance in some kinda sad attempt to offset the self hate when I should just goblin mode for the week. I just don't wanna have to deal with the office while also looking and feeling like death.
  
  Goblin mode is great, I catch up on body maintenance on like day 4-5 when the period has subsided to random ketchup squirts. Let the hair grow and the zits form, fuck it.
Ngl one of the perks of transitioning was that testosterone effectively cured my endometriosis, can't have pain if you can't have periods
- Omfg dude that's sick! HRT keep winning
Getting out of the house. Sorry I could not help myself.
- Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo little %&*@#
  
  😂😅*quietly sneaking out from this thread.
If you can get your hands on some Rick Simpson Oil (RSO), it'll probably help a lot more than smoking or edibles. Hard to find if you're not in a legal country/state, but very worth it if you can.
- Yeah I have no idea where to get that here sadly 😔
i know this sounds insane but my solution for cramps is to lie down with heavy things on my stomach. i swear it moves things along
- Nooooo I totally get that! Any cramp pressure helps I feel.
  Omg your pfp is a chao 😍
- I'm curious, tell me more. Been trying to find solutions for the cramps for years and this is the first novel one I've heard.
  
  any sort of pressure on the abdomen helps me ! i will either passively have my heavy 200lb stupid gamer laptop on me (the heat helps too lol) or if i have the means i'll actually massage my abdomen, i think it helps improve blood flow or something? it helps!
- Thank you
for my partner, they take kratom for the first day or two. PCOS so the cramping is unreal they have passed out before from them owie
- Omfg I hope they are better with the meds jesus christ.
mefanemic acid is available on prescription and works better than ibuprofen.
I'm getting gf a TENS machine for Christmas in hopes that helps too.
