      My OB/GYN said that due to menstrual magnification mental and physical illness worsen right before and during your period. Before I started birth control to manage it, I used to get super anxious and dissociatively depressed alongside worsening of my physical symptoms (dizziness, migraine, etc). It's all hormones and whatnot shifting around, makes the brain wig out a little even though it's the one doing this to you in the first place lol

      No weird at all. I'm the unnauralist that takes continuous birth control for that reason.

      Yes! I feel as though I'm going to explode mentally. I need to have more alone time throughout the day to put literally everything in perspective.
