I was on birth control pills for a short period of time

And did not enjoy it/was worried about potential side effects but I got a Mirena shortly after which as an aside I LOVE and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone who does want to be on some form of birth control because it’s the most efficacious and with the fewest side effects. the (very small amount of) hormones are delivered locally directly to the cervix rather than systemically throughout the whole body. I used to have debilitating periods and my IUD set me free from their reign of terror… That said I’m sure there are ways to regulate your hormonal skin and period issues without being on birth control pills and I would 1000% encourage you to see what it’s like!! 🫶 It’s worth a try if you’re not even worried about preventing pregnancy

find out who you are without the pill

I was on the pill from age 16-23 and when I came off it I was like suddenly not suicidal and my mental health began to get a lot better slowly but surely. For some people hormonal contraceptives are brilliant and do their job (and extra jobs like skin, regulating periods etc) perfectly. but if you went on it at a young age when your hormones are already not fully levelled out then I’d suggest stopping and seeing what it feels like without it. You can always go back on if want to later! I’ll never go back on hormonal contraception because I don’t want to risk going back, but for some people the opposite is true and it helps them feel more level! (Also warning my periods hurt more after coming off and I have suspected PMDD so there’s a danger zone every month, so be prepared for shit like that, but I’ll take a couple days of crazy a month over feeling like a suicidal zombie every day for years lol).

stop menstruating

science and medicine has progressed enough to the point where women can opt to stop having periods. i’ve had two hormonal IUDs over the course of 8 years now, and therefore haven’t had a period in 8 years. no cramps. no heating pads. no cravings. no tampons. nothing. every womens body is different and i can’t promise everyone will have the same experience ive had with my IUDs. but if your periods suck like mine did, it can’t hurt to ask a doctor ab going on some sort of HRT/birth control. why are we still letting our uteruses dictate and manage our lives for one week out of every month? (for some, like myself at one point, well over just one week) not having a period is great! it’s freeing!!!!! i feel as if i can put my personhood and identity first, and not sacrifice any sort of happiness or autonomy to my uterus!

protesting!!!

it’s the very least we can do. one of the few things america has gotten right is allowing us to protest the government and that’s exactly what we should be doing right now. there are multiple ways of protesting including going to marches, boycotting, addressing your representatives directly, and voting “uncommitted“ in the upcoming primaries to communicate to the democratic party that they are not acting in the people’s interests and that we will not support biden if he continues to fund this occupation and the deaths of tens of thousands of people. please do your part because you’d want people to do the same if it was you in this situation. i’ve linked a list of upcoming protests around the world. please use it. <3
