That explains it all

[danaeris]

I just got my period, for the third time in the last month.

I've been exhausted for no reason and depressed. I thought it might be because I was eating less, except I've also been gaining weight.

I've been grumpy and irritable and feeling irrational. I've also been achey and had some weird stomach aches.

I cried while metalana scrounged up some menstrual supplies. Part of it was from frustration with my body. Part of it was relief: it explains what I've been experiencing, and I no longer have to feel like I'm going crazy, or like if I eat more food I'll gain more weight, but if I eat less I'll be tired and depressed.

I'm also likely quite iron deficient at this point. Must eat lots of iron.

Anyway, for those who have been wondering, now you know why I've been depressed and irritable and so forth.

It felt really nice to be there for you when this happened. You really needed the support.

If you're ever on the scrounge for unexpedly-needed supplies, please know you can ask me anytime. I tend to always have one or two types on hand.
