It’s normal.
Normal girls have this.
Girls who do not have endometriosis have this.
It’s normal.
I started my period today. And it hurts. After feeling pretty freaking fantastic for the last few months… I’m hurting. Nowhere near as badly as I used to hurt on my period, but… it hurts.
Bad enough that my ability to focus is shot and my desire to do anything beyond sit in bed with a heating pad on my gut is pretty much destroyed.
It hurts.
I’m trying to remind myself that this is normal though. That normal girls get painful cramps on their periods too. Normal girls bloat and feel like crap and lose all interest in doing anything when they get their monthly visitor. It’s not just me. It’s not just endo.
It’s normal.
I’m normal.
Having a normal period, that just kind of sucks.
Because that’s what periods do. They suck. They make you cramp and bloat and feel icky and unattractive and exhausted within hours of their arrival.
Even when you've had an amazing surgeon perform miracles on you just a few months ago.
Periods still suck.
For everyone.
It’s not just me. It’s not just endo.
It’s normal.
Right?
