I just had my first time period since trump won and it was *devastating*

I have been *on* my period for almost 6 months. I have been all over the place in regards to my flow and my emotions. The last really bad period I happened in November of 2016. I had a horrifically heavy period and thinning, heart-wrenching cramps. I had to miss work and I thought I was bleeding to death because I was soaking through a tampon every 30 minutes of my 3 hour commute home. The cramps were so bad that i was crying and throwing up on the metro. I had to get *several* heat wraps to place on my back, stomach, and breasts. I was bleeding so bad that I even happened to bleed on someone’s little girl at the mall when I was standing in line. It was all in all, a *horrible* experience. I didn’t experience any of that in the years that followed. It was like my period had completely changed. I stopped bleeding so heavy, my cramps stopped being as bad, I didn’t even need heat wraps anymore. It felt like my period had finally regulated itself and I had gotten use to this new period life. <br><br>This period was the worst I have ever experienced all while trump was down in Texas talking about how he won the “war on texas” and how bitchy he was about the press. I had cramps so bad that I had to take a sick day *for the first time in years*. I had to place a heating pad on my stomach and take a nap *for the entire day*. Three different heat wraps wasn’t enough. I was bleeding so bad that I was wearing tampons, pads, and even period panties. I had a period stain on not one, not two, but *three* different pairs of underwear and period panties. There was blood on my bed, my couch, and even my laptop. I had to wash my sheets *three different times*. I threw out two pairs of underwear because the stains were so bad and I couldn’t get them out. <br><br>This period was the worst that I have ever experienced since trump won. I can’t help but feel that this is a sign of something. I feel like this is a sign that I need to be ready. The universe is giving me a sign that even though trump is gone, this is only the beginning. The universe was using my period to let me know that I need to be even more diligent in my work. I will do my part in making sure the world is a better place than what trump left it.
