just especially frustrated today because i got my period as i was getting into the car for an 8 hour road trip with my family. i’ve been off birth control pills for about a year now so my period has been really irregular and more painful. it’s so invalidating and physically dysphoric to the point of making it more painful because in my head my body shouldn’t be doing this. i don’t want it to do this. i’d give anything to have an entire hysterectomy. i also started accutane 6 months ago so i’ve had to deal with all of the “female patient” drama surrounding pregnancy and having to pledge abstinence every month. i hate how frequently i have to be reminded that my insides feel like they determine me and my existence. just posting to get it off my mind and see if anyone relates rn or if anyone has any advice or anything <3
