Day 17- Period

Hello, I apologize for skipping one day writing challenge. I just had period yesterday and it made me dizzy and trembling. It should not have been an excuse but I didn't have energy and everything feels so exhausting. At least, I worked out for 25 minutes at 4.30 pm and it was challenging during the work out since I already felt the pain that period was coming. I did not expect my period is this early since it is usually on the 6th. Well, period can come earlier and it is fine. 

Let me tell you, I hate period. I don't like being in cramp and it drains my energy. I got my first period when I was 9th grade (13rd yo) while everybody got it when they were 11/12 years old. My mom so concerned why I have not get period at all since it is almost high school. One day, my stomach was hurting so bad and i went to bathroom to check if I wanted to poop. Nope, it was it I have been waiting for long time. I then continued to take shower and went to school. At school, I could not even stand up because my stomach was killing me. I almost passed out and I didn't know what to do. I finally went home and my face looked so much pale they said. I could not even think anymore where I am all I wanted was laying on bed. 

My mom made Jamu, indonesian traditional drink contains tumeric and honey. It slightly helped me. However, my mom didn't allow me to take medicine like ibuprofen or paracetamol since she believed it is poisonous for my body. Until high school, I never took medicine. When I first met my boyfriend, he strongly suggested me to take medicine. That was my first time taking medicine. I am not taking medicine all the time. I try to hold my pain as long as I can and if I can't take it anymore I just give up. The pain that I got is so intense. I always end up with vomiting and pooping. It is just so bad for one day. The next day it is still hurting but I bear the pain. The first day of period is unbearable. I just think being a woman is so dam painful. It is said that it is not as bad as giving birth. Who wants to give birth? I don't want. I may choose to not being pregnant at all.
