I don’t want ur sympathy I want ur awareness!! Pmdd - let’s chat-
Daily affirmations, I love my uterus, we are totally chill, and are friends and I think I’m completely, totally, always, fine <3
Here are some pmdd thoughts I had while wanting to rip my hair out last year :) just after asking my gyno what i would have to do to get my uterus taken out x x x x
A couple of months ago someone said they were scared of the way I view the world and they think I see the world as a scary place, and to that I say get fucked, 1, it kinda is tho.. 2, I’m over here applauding the fact that I still manage to have moments of joy happiness excitement and deep beautiful nourishing loving friendships relationships and experiences when my brain is telling me I’m not worth it for half of the year.
If I made this zine would u buy it? :)
Tell your friends u love them if they have a uterus, if it looks like they struggle a bit extra before their period tell them you love them twice as much. And maybe take them a meal every so often idk. If you don’t understand what pmdd is, do a little googling! Go and do some redditting! Especially if someone you know, friend, sibling, acquaintance, lover has pmdd.
It’s exhausting explaining, and it’s exhausting explaining again six months later, 2 years later, that yes, it’s still happening and happens nearly every month.
Sometimes I pretend I don’t have it ~ out of mind out of site~ hehe ~ sometimes it kinda works, but sometimes it really doesn’t and all of your safety nets are a bit loose and ur just like WELLLLL fuck okay haha
Anyways I hope this made you more AWARE!!!! Lots of love x
P.s i Love hitting the Medicare threshold 4 months into the year!!!!!!!
P.ps I felt my egg drop yesterday wish me luck , I realised cos in the car yesterday I felt it and I also started thinking “why aren’t we getting paid to exist, being alive is fucking hard work, it is a chore to stay alive and IM the one that has to work? The only reason I’m alive right now is for my loved ones, they’re selfish” and checked my app and here we are.
(If I get any are you okays or sending love!s after this im blocking you) I’m fine and loved. Happy pmdd researching x x
Wow! A pic from every knit club this year!! There’s been 16? Who has the time? apparently me and all these cuties ❤️
I just really love knitting (idk if you’ve heard) and to be able to knit and sit and create with other people who also love knitting // embroidery, journaling, rhinestoning, crochet, painting, chess, darning, making felt toys, LEARNING how to knit, hanging out,,,,, has been a highlight of my year.
Highlights from club!! Rounds of applause when someone finishes a project, people excitedly bringing their finished project to the next one, starting conversations with strangers “how did you get into knitting”, seeing new connections form, seeing people learn new skills and get excited and obsessed!!
I definitely get way more stressed than I need to organising …. and it’s been a great way to learn that to chill, it is what it is, who ever comes comes , it’s cute.
Thanks for making this pretty chaotic year a whole lot cuter.
Thanks to all the venues that had us this year (lowkey, hyphen spaces, table records, highnote, flippy’s illyyyy) <33333333 very cool, very cool, I can’t wait to do MORE!!!
I love knitting ! ! And can’t wait to see what this turns into next year :)
Lots of love, from Bronte xxxxxxx
