i HATE being a chick!!! i started my period yesterday. ha what fun. first i had just gotten home from stevie's and there it went, i took my dad's truck and went to food lion, they didnt have anything, so i had to try another store, luckily they had some stuff, but not what i wanted. so i just got what i could see reasonable, and dealt with it. then the cramps started, and oh my i've never had any quite so bad i dont think...well i probably have, but this is a time for exageration. they lasted all night, or at least till 2 which im pretty sure is what time i went to bed. today i went fishing with my dad, and well, the river was really low and we didnt have much luck, so we came back a few hours later, and im still crampy. i've taken two tylenol extra strength, and two excedrin. nada. i dont think there is anything you can do for cramps, honestly, even midol doesnt work for me. so today..and this has never really happened to me either, and it explains my last entry, i'm so emotional. today in the boat, i kept having this strong urge to cry. for no reason at all, i just wanted to cry, and i couldnt stop it. i did, however, control it and not let my self give in. im tired, emotional, i havent had an appetite since yesterday morning, not even then, and im depressed, and just plain icky. i didnt mean to sound so helpless yesterday, but well, its how i felt. its wierd, im not sure how to handle all this stuff. i hope its over soon that's all i can say.
