Long - extremely vulnerable post that every woman should read ๐Ÿ–ค

Two years ago, every month, one week before my period, I had suicidal ideations. I felt confused, full of shame, and carried so much guilt. These thoughts were completely out of my control.

Intrusive.
Unexpected.
They would literally just come out of nowhere..... catching me off guard, scaring the s**t out me.
I had (have) such a beautiful life.
I asked myself over and over again..... what is wrong with you?
I felt like I wasn't allowed to feel this way when I had no reasons.

I am a nurse. I know how quickly these thoughts can turn into carrying out the plan (if there is one). I was assessing myself daily, quietly, afraid to open up because I was so ashamed.

I fiinally broke down to my husband. Sobbing, sitting at the kitchen table, opening up to him, being the most vulnerable I had ever been because I was so deeply afraid of these intrusive thoughts. He, of course, was so supportive.

I saw multiple health care providers, damn near begging for answers. I was asked multiple times to consider medication.

I consistently refused. I didn't want medication for me hitting rock bottom one week out of each month. I wanted answers. I wanted to understand. I knew this wasn't normal.

So I took my nursing knowledge and sought out answers elsewhere. I began networking with other functional and holistic health care providers. I began talking to people with shares experiences.

I changed my lifestyle. I stopped drinking alcohol, I started healing my gut, I learned about my body and began to love and nurture her. I followed the cycle syncing method, I started exercising and learning to regulate and heal my nervous system.

It's been two years since I hit rock bottom. If I wouldn't have advocated for myself, I would've never healed. Hell, I may not even be here.

Today, as I wake up one week before starting my period, I wake up happy. Lighter than who I was then. Happier, healthier..... I worked out before work. I showered. I did my hair. Things that weren't even a thought for me before. The intrusive, suicidal ideations stopped only THREE MONTHS into the cycle syncing method because I was healing my hormones. Today, I hope you read this and it gives you hope.

Today, I write this completely humbled by the opportunity to teach women through my own experiences.

If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal ideations, talk about it. You're not crazy, you're cyclical. I'm here to support you as are many other women ๐Ÿซถ Drop "women strong" in the comments if you have been here too. It's time we heal together, and stop feeling shame. It's not our faults we were never taught how to nourish our bodies through each phase of our cycle...... but I'm here to help you through it all.

PSA Ladies โœจ๏ธ

When you're named "overly emotional" during your luteal phase..... you're not crazy. You're cyclical.

The luteal phase brings introspection, less tolerance of pressure and an increase in sensitivity to stress. Your brain is essentially in hyper drive scanning for stressors.

For example, if you're crying as you drive into work today, in your luteal phase, there is a high likelihood that this job does not align with your needs. Slow down. Evaluate. Set boundaries. Complete tasks (don't start something new) ๐Ÿซถ
