I got an IUD recently and it’s been hell. Last period I felt pain so sharp I wanted to vomit and all I could do was cry for hours. Couldn’t even move enough to go to work.
Previously, my period has made me cry for days before and maybe the a day or two into it.
The best way I learned to cope with it is to track the cycle. If you know that the reason why you’re crying is because you’re about to get your period it gets easier to handle. Also leaning into your emotions and taking time for self-care is so important. Really, eat some chocolate and shitty food, take a warm shower, do your skincare and watch some trash tv.
It is painful, trust me, take good care of your GF/PARTNER when she in period!
