"Your period isn’t supposed to hurt that much." We’ve normalised period pain to the point where people are made to feel dramatic for struggling. But there’s a difference between discomfort and debilitating pain. If your period is stopping you from living your life, it’s time to ask why. 🩸 If you’re missing work or school 🩸 If you’re curled up in bed with a hot water bottle, in tears 🩸 If painkillers barely take the edge off 🩸 If sex hurts, going to the toilet hurts, ovulation hurts That’s not something to "just deal with." Painful periods can be a sign of conditions like endometriosis, fibroids, or adenomyosis — and they deserve to be taken seriously. 📣 You’re not overreacting. 📣 You’re not weak. 📣 You’re not alone. Keep pushing. Keep asking questions. Keep advocating for your body — because you deserve a life where pain isn’t the default.
