Ladies of Hive!
I promised myself and the wonderful person whom told me I may be good at blogging and writing that I would give this a try and I promised myself that I'd be authentically myself no matter what people thought or said.
One thing I really want to touch base on is that time of the month ladies. Mostly because she's a raging you know what... and I am a whole mess, not a peice but the whole mess. Periods are a very taboo subject. Growing up I was taught to never speak about it. Just it was going to happen tell mom and deal with it. We are in 2025 now and as women in many parts of the world and where I'm from in america are fighting for our rights daily now I don't care who is uncomfortable.
What are your signs that mother nature is on her way to wreck your existance? Is it..
- Mood Swings?
- Depression?
- Anxiety?
- Early Cramps?
- Exaughstion
- Feeling the world is falling down around you?
- What about being Wonder Woman?
This last weekend was good. Everything seemed to be going well then... Monday came around and I'm starting to become more intune with my body over the years and the same crap happens EVERY single month.
The week prior to my period is when it all sets in. Everyone hates me, the world hates me, my guinea pigs hate me, the world is out to get me, that random object I just tripped over is the bane of my existance, hobbies turn into chores and I'm 30 and an immigrant with no job and learning Swedish turns into the most exaughsting task ever. Friends, family and people make me exaughsted.
Then If people are like.. Not sure if this is a most women thing... or a neuro-divergent brain... thingy but someone is like... Mariah... You should do... or I think of some task that will make it all better. I spend the next week or so day dreaming about it sometimes doing it but holy crap I really want it.
Had a good friend this time say Mariah I think you should do this... and I was thinking who on earth would like to read or listen to me ramble on about nonsense and my life as boring as I can be... WHATEVER here I go. I'll probably start menstrating at some point today she feels like she is here and knocking on my uterus walls looking to wreck the day.
I went to class today finally after thinking the world was ending Mon-Wed this week after I busted my butt on a hill. Just really needed to come home and let out my words. Supposed to hang out with friends on the internet today playing my video games and i'm sitting here trying to think about how my brain will function around people.
If you made it this far thank you for listening to me. I really needed to complain about it. Now i'll go drink some water do my puzzle and probably rage at that for awhile...

boy, do I feel that! xD I find it's helpful to listen to what your body needs (which is often rest and silence and stuff during that time of the month) and just go with that. It feels like we live in a society that's constantly pressuring us girls to be plugged in 24/7 so we don't give ourselves the time to rest and recharge when nature demands it. How could that be good? ;)
Today i'm grabbing that quiet time. Playing cozy games eating chocolate and reading. I don't have will power for any more. I gave you a follow you seem like an amazing person thanks for also interacting on my introduction post. Xoxo
This should always be worth discussing especially from mother to daughter to start, it just puzzles me why some parents don't discus this with their daughters or even granddaughters in this day and age.
I agree!! We are in the year 2025... all girls no matter the age should have free menstrual products and mental health days when we need them as we are menstrating i feel. All genders should be taught about it so it becomes the norm :) Hopefully I get to see this in my life time. But at the state the world is in right now I may not.
This reminded me of my teen years. Ah! The pain was unbearable and no one could make us understand what was happening in body and mind. Good write-up.
Riiight! Holy cow! A lot of people don't understand! Empathy goes a long way. I have days where i'm on top of the world then the next i refuse to get out of bed curled up in a ball. I'm thankful to have a man who has empathy and understanding. But I know a lot of realationships where this isn't the case. Also coming from America atleast the jobs i had calling in to class or work for menstrating wasn't an option here in my Swedish classes in Sweden I told my teachers I was not well from menstrating and they told me to stay home and rest! What a difference that made to my mental health knowing I was safe to relax and take care of myself!
In my part of the world, it's still a taboo and we don't talk about it much, not inside our family. Good for you that you can freely talk about yourself and people are considerate. Yes, it makes a lot of difference.
