for context, i’ve been on birth control for PMDD for more than a year now and usually everything is great.

however, it’s placebo week. and today has been the hardest out all « luteal » phases with birth control.

i hate looking at my reflection, my makeup never comes out right, i’m exhausted, my whole body is puffy, i’ve been crying all day and it’s only 3pm here + i’m an anxious mess. needless to say, not good.

i am literally laying in bed on my day off and crying with the washing machine noise in the background.

what can i do to try and take care of me and be more compassionate with myself today? any tips is needed, thank you so much!
