MENSTRUATION and the supermoon
My period is four days late and I swear it better be waiting for the supermoon/bluemoon tomorrow night and nothing else. Perhaps my body is waiting until I am able to finally harness my utmost power and potential through the hormonal portal. My insides are currently teeming with rageful anticipationā€¦!!!
I also just spent the last four days in the ocean, floating and dunking my flesh suit, (which I feel so uncomfortable in during this stage of my cycle) some of the time getting battered by waves, and drawn in by very strong currents, remembering my smallness, the earthā€™s vastness.
And in all this waiting for my period, waiting for relief from the scattered anxieties in my head, soft but strong like cotton in the canals in my brain, and in my stomach, a dullish, empty but fibrous feeling of dread and discomfort.
Please bleed!!!

mugwort tea is disgusting but always makes my period appear when it's a couple days late! beware, can give you funky dreams if you steep it too much.

Strong spearmint tea 2-4 cups a day, but stop for a month when it works :)

romanticising menstruation
I got my period at about 4am this morning, 2 days after winter solstice and the day after a full moon. the sybolism of it all, the kismet of it all. i've ended up going inwards in a way I don't often during my period. i welcomed her instead of groaning under the effort. i've decided to see it as cleansing, grounding, enveloping, slowing. i coccooned myself and treated myself right. i dragged my mattress into the garden and stared at the sky for 3 hours. i did """self care""". i feel good. i feel grateful to women who came before me and battled this with less than I have.

Blaming it on the moon
feeling out of sorts? day going terribly? believing you have turned into an unlovable monster? (aka did you just get your period?)
blame it on the moon, babes. if she has the power to affect the freaking ocean tides, what makes you think she isnā€™t also affecting your moods and internal body cycles? i mean, we are made of 60% waterā€¦

Saying you feel a little haunted instead of anxious/depressed
Like I am sometimes haunted by thoughts and thinking too much can be low key scary
