Bit of advice. Probably unwanted for some 🤷

While I understand women's periods can be painful. Some women do suffer more than others
Why though....does everyone need to know how you are, whilst on it?
Seriously.....just get on with it. Usually the discomfort and emotional roller coaster doesn't last any longer than 7 days .
Pull your big pants up and deal with it .
It's not the end of the world.

I'm not speaking specifically to what you said but my thoughts are.. what tf is it with TMI on social media about women's personal intimate issues, and then men come in with their crude comments that they have no business in. Whatever happened to some dignity. In that way, yes just deal with it.

@Queendragonfly Total BS. Don't make false accusations because I spoke my mind.
Purplerain78 · 46-50, F
@Magenta Finding this a common theme here. People aren't too bright it seems.
Carissimi · F
That’s the right word, “dignity.” It’s lacking these days. I’d like to see dignity make a come back. @Magenta

People have different ways of dealing with (different kinds of) pain. Some people complain more than others, some have a lower threshold for pain than others. While I understand that constant complaining seems exhausting, imagine how much more exhausting it is for them. Sure, nobody needs to know, like nobody needs to know about their grandma's back and knee pain or their husband's prostate cancer pain. But humans are social beings, and expressing our pain is natural and often even helpful. Even crying exists for a reason, like every other biological aspect.
discomfort and emotional roller coaster doesn't last any longer than 7 days
you forgot to add: per month. Imagine 1/4 of your month being in discomfort. One fourth of your year.
I understand lacking empathy at some point for people you might not be that close with, especially if you're not in healthcare. So of course for you it's not the end of the world. Also I'm glad you wrote this here, on an anonymous site, and (hopefully) don't go around complaining to others about how they deal with pain. I wish everyone's struggles were as small as yours.
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
@Purplerain78 so you actually did not write this post as advice, but simply to complain about how others deal with their issues, something that doesn't affect you. For your age, you seem hella confused and immature.
WaryWitchWandering · 36-40, F
@HannibalAteMeOut she wrote it to complain about people complaining

It’s ironic

Silly

Preposterous! 😛


This is the internet… people are gonna say/post what they like. I got hated on a while ago for being on here as a mother…

People wanna point their finger at anyone else and say “wtf!?!?”

It’s exhausting and sad

@HannibalAteMeOut I know we don't know each other well and don't really chat, but I just want to thank you for being you. I see a lot of your comments and replies here and really respect your perspective. ❤️

@Purplerain78 Similar Worlds is in many ways derivative of the original Experience Project site. And while SW doesn't publish a raison d'etre the way EP did, EP specifically existed so people could seek out support from people (not doctors or therapists, but people) who'd had similar experiences. So, yes, this is exactly the place to talk about what ails us, even if it's personal in nature like periods. The great thing about this place and places like it is that if you don't like a post you have the option to scroll on by.

@Purplerain78 Are you saying we should pay and book a therapy appointment to tell a therapist we have period pain ? You do that 😂 or maybe you have no period because you're much older than her. In that case. Maybe you should see a therapist to talk about your life crisis over not being young and fertile anymore. There's help for that. But you're also welcome to talk about it on SW. 😊
Purplerain78 · 46-50, F
@Queendragonfly Why get personal? None of my posts are aimed at anyone specifically. I've seen a number of posts about periods lately. Your immaturity shines through.
Queendragonfly · 31-35, F
@Purplerain78 Woah. More than one period post? Oh no! I feel so sorry for you, God heavens bless your heart and all other sympathies from all religions phrases.

You know. If you find period posts this uncomfortable. You won't survive here for long. 😂
Nothing wrong with ur question, yes every REAL woman has different pain level and some are easier to deal with it and or they are not quick to yell others that they are in pain and nothing wrong with that..maybe She does not wanna bother anyone or does not know what to say especially to guys lol.




It is good to know that others do care especially when you are not feeling well.





Period pain can really hurt plus sometimes people are going through more than period pain.



Edit: typo as should say *tell not yell lol

@PrincessRoarBuddy It is good to know that others do care especially when you are not feeling well.


This ❤️❤️❤️

"Shared pain is less pain"

She seem to suffer in lonliness so she expects other women to do the same. Ain't gonna happen.

You wanna tell us about your bloody teeth but we’re not allowed to talk about our bloody vaginas

Go figure
GLITTER · 36-40, F
@Purplerain78 you can speak about periods and still value your body, you’re not asking some random to come and yank your tampon out for you
@Purplerain78 So instead of calling out people that make it unsafe and encourage people to stand their ground and not give in to toxic and pervy behaviour you chose to become a person that makes it unsafe by shaming others?

I could go out completly naked and I would still value my body.
GLITTER · 36-40, F
@Purplerain78 it’s not about being “over sensitive” it’s about being free to talk about what we want on a site where people talk about what they want. If you don’t like it don’t look at those posts talking about it
originnone · 61-69, M
I hope writing it helps in some way. I also hope my reading it does.....
Queendragonfly · 31-35, F
@originnone She's seen more than one period post. She really needs you to hold her hand through this hard time.
BabyLonia · F
Is your lacknof empathy only for those suffering from period pain or also for those in other types of pain?
Purplerain78 · 46-50, F
@BabyLonia Not my intention.
BabyLonia · F
@Purplerain78 but that is how you are coming across
sarabee1995 · 26-30, FVIP
@Purplerain78
Not my intention.
Your intentions are impossible for anyone to know. All anyone knows in life are your actions and your words.

And your actions and words here on SW are hurtful to women. If this is truly not your intention, then I respectfully urge you to look at your actions and words with love and compassion in your heart and reconsider your message. ❤️

You have no idea how severe mental issues it can cause for some. And doctors won't do anything about it except prescribing birth control pills which here you even have to buy for full price because fucking insurance won't even cover it. It needs to be discussed and women need to be educated about ways how to relieve symptoms. In my opinion It's not talked about enough and the way these problems are treated is still ridiculous.
Purplerain78 · 46-50, F
@CrazyMusicLover I understand that. However SW isn't really the place.
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@Purplerain78 Any place is good for sharing tips how to relieve pain. You can mute or scroll past. There are far worse and more disgusting things on here than period discussions.
SW-User
how would you know? you've probably forgotton since reaching menopause
Purplerain78 · 46-50, F
@SW-User Clearly you'd know eh?! You with your perfect life and all that bullshit.

Yo you sound ashamed of being a woman.
Queendragonfly · 31-35, F
@Purplerain78 Then go there with your complaints. 👍🏻
@CountScrofula And yet we’re now being told there’s more to being a woman than menstrual periods…? 🤔
SW-User
@Purplerain78 people can discuss what they want here
I totally get it. It’s not necessarily something I want to read about constantly, either. When it’s particularly difficult, I wonder why they’re not telling it to their doctor ? 🤔
Queendragonfly · 31-35, F
I'm gonna be honest. 2-3 days ago you wrote respected posts. Where you were the reasonable one. And then this. And transphobic posts. Wtf happened with you?
Purplerain78 · 46-50, F
@Queendragonfly I am a reasonable person. You don't have to like what I post. I'm entitled to my view. Personally if I had to shout about my monthlys I'd do it on a site where you could get proper advice and support. Not on an app where there's probably perverts getting off on your period posts. You carry on doing you though. Good luck with that 👍
Queendragonfly · 31-35, F
@Purplerain78 There's plenty of great people in here.

I don't see no perverts , I only see a bitter jealous woman hurting another woman for posting about her pain.

You're no better than any pervert. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Purplerain78 · 46-50, F
@Queendragonfly What? Bitter and jealous of what? Your pain, your lack of common sense. Do me a favour.
Grow up.
