I Am Someone Who Faints And Has REALLY Bad Hypersomnia And Extremely Bad Pain And Blood Which Makes Me

I am someone who faints and has REALLY bad hypersomnia and extremely bad pain and blood which makes me sleep more, when on my period I'll just sleep for a week straight no food if I'm forced awake I will hurt someone's feelings cause I'm just pissed all the time I hate having no control of myself but I found the depo birth control shot it takes away blood and pain so it's like I never had my period to begin with. Its good and I get a shot every three months and I'm good to go. I would tell my not out to parents trans masc friends about it cause I thought it might help with dysphoria. I don't know how it would react to hormones that some trans masc people might take but if it sounds like something you might want ask a doctor about it.

man I don’t think people know how much work having your period can be and yes this also includes AFAB people.

Like, damn, if I’m having a good week I only need to take a couple pain killers, sleep maybe 7 hours with nightmares, I’m exhausted and don’t miraculously bleed all over my clothes

If I’m having a truly bad week I’m on pain killers 24/7 and if I don’t take them enough the pain wakes me up at night so crippling that I just want to pass out, I am so nauseous I cannot eat or move quickly, I bleed so much I can’t move around properly, I’m irritable and everything takes too much fucking energy to the point where having a meal becomes a concern, there’s nightmares every time I sleep and I get maybe five hours

And like, it could still be worse. My cousin regularly faints, I could be throwing up too

And it’s just bewildering to me that I am expected to operate as usual when I feel fucking awful, even though I already am medicating for it and all advice boils down to “take the pill and ibuprofen” like it is normal to expect someone to be reliant on pain medication and the pill for 3 decades.

Like it’s okay to tell a 15 year old kid they’ll most likely always spent nearly full 8 years of their entire life in excruciating pain because there’s no other fucking treatment for this????
