What do I do now?
So I’ve been noticing symptoms for like the past six months like right before my bleeding starts. I feel miserable and I seriously consider a world without myself like I feel worthless and hopeless and worn out and that nothing’s going to get better and I wanna cry all the time for no apparent reason and I’m moody and and I become a nasty human being, which makes me feel even worse about myself and I have no motivation to do anything whatsoever and then when my bleeding starts it kind of mellows out and then when it ends, I’m right back at square one until the next time I start bleeding I’m to the point now when I start bleeding, I get relieved although I have terrible cramps, crippling anemia, and and I get nauseous every time I see my own blood.
I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me until I saw a video of the actress lili Reinhardt (if that’s how you spell her name I don’t know) talking about it and I did some more research and I’m like checking every box but I don’t know what to do from here.
It’s just so unusual because other than the fact that I am anemic I’ve always seen myself as a relatively happy and healthy person until recently and it’s quite rattling and very disarming because people are coming to me and they’re noticing differences and I love that they’re comfortable enough to approach me with that but it’s heavy.
Like do I go see a therapist do I go see a doctor and get a referral or what do i do?
