She’s Back

by The Surprise Beginning on September 4, 2012

She’s Back.

If you are a man, or a squeamish female, you may not want to read this. You have been warned.

The last time we met, she brought the pain, as per usual.

Every time she visited I knew what would come. The tears, the angst, the over-sensitivity, the hurt.

Yes, the hurt.

She is a huge fan of hurting me. I don’t know exactly why, but for some reason she seems to think that it is her right, nay, her obligation, to cause me pain that isn’t to be ignored. The last time we met was the worst it has ever been. She had me crying for days. Weeks even.

I said goodbye to her and good riddance too. When she’s not around I can feel normal, comfortable in my own skin, in control.

That was 22 months ago. 22 months of calm. 22 months of stability. 22 months a bitch free zone. Well almost.

The happy times seem to have come to an end now though. Two weeks ago she sent me a message, just testing the waters really. Something along the lines of “Remember me? I’m coming for you!”.

I was not impressed, so I ignored her. She thought she could mess with me? No way, not happening.

Again, one week ago, she reared her nasty head. I was left shaken by the experience. Raw. Emotional. I didn’t want to admit that she obviously has this power over me. I hoped that ignoring her would make her go away.

It didn’t.

She is back, with a vengeance it would seem.

Thankfully she can’t read, so I can tell you guys how I really feel about her. I can tell you hoe much I hate my Aunt Flo’.

She is such a B.

Here’s hoping for short visits. I really don’t like sharing my house with other women.

What’s the longest stretch you’ve ever had without a visit from “Aunt Flo”?

So funny you have posted this today. I was only thinking about the topic yesterday. Caught myself thinking about having another bubba. Sixteen months has been the longest.

Ooh 16 months! You lucky gal! The only up side to AF being back is the prospect of another bundle of love sometime next year!

You need to tell her where to go! Perhaps there is a nice hotel she might take up residence instead?

oh my word… i hate AF.. like passionate. The contraceptive pill is so my friend, along with my GP who told me it was more than fine to skip it a few months at a time. and i curse myself for days on end when it does eventually come. bah.

Yes indeed! I only ever deliberately skipped her once, but she got me back for it the next month!

Guh! *shakes fist at Aunt Flo* I’m not a fan of her! I don’t get visits from her, unless i’m on the pill, so I guess I’m lucky to say I never met her until I was around 17. I went the past year without her, but she’s back for me too. I get so emotional, which added to my mental problems doesn’t make a good time. *hugs*

I hate mine as well and she has been playing silly buggers with me of late. She comes late and then only stays for 2 or 3 days but she is mean when she’s here.

I went without for 2 years in my late teens when I was anorexic. Since then only when I was on the pill and would keep taking the hormone pills, skipping my period.

I had quite bad pain until I had endometriosis removed and it improved a lot, but it’s come back over recent years. Now I just rely on nurofen to get me through!

People get breaks?? Huh? Not me!
Thankfully being a clothie means never be caught unprepared though.
Hope yours eases up! x
