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 distress

    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.

      I made a hexbear account. That's how bad this one is omori-miserable

      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.

        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.

          Oh God that's a lot of stress rn, might be one for the bf to puzzle out for me nia-smug

          Every time it's a bad month I go looking for a new miracle cure to feeling crap like I don't know how this is going to play out already.

        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.

          I know it's terminal i thought I'd became a cool grass toucher and everything sanji-pain

          You can get those? Erghhh that would make my lazy ways easier. My adhd has me listening to a rotation of true crime, serial killers, cave diving deaths, mountaineering disasters, reading about tarot and youtuber drama. I'm too far gone this month.

          Nooooo who the fuck is alya anyway and why does she hide her feelings in Russian? I'm like girl, get a grip and tell him or lose him to the sister who loves checks notes incest movies? Wait what?! This is all I've gotten of the plot so far and it's wild. I do not want to see where the fanfiction goes.

                They are quite funny, just 3 dudes talking about creepy things both real and imaginary.

                I really dug their recent 2 parter on the history of executions. Sounds like you have a list of media already but if you want more i could link a couple of my favorite episodes on serial killers. Ah! Their creepy-pastas episodes, where they find the worst written short stories on the Internet and read them as seriously as they can? Hilarious.

                Have a look when you're in the market for new material! 🙂

    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.

    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.
