comparison is a happiness killer

recently i find myself comparing my life without even thinking about it.

i was feeling anxious and i had a real like sit down with myself. I realized ive been feeling insecure and comparing myself(and every aspect of my life). i found myself being really unkind and mean to people around me, literally just because i felt insecure.(i did apologize to my fiancée once i realized whats been going on with me)

and im insecure because i was subconsciously comparing myself to everyone. i recently went on vacation with a group of people. the time change, stress of traveling, maybe even the diet change, really messed up my hormones. since ive been home, my pms was so much worse, my period came early, heavy, and weird, and ive never been so bloated in my whole life.

has anyone else every had a travel week mess up their hormones this much?

Thanks for your honesty. I have experienced this, my period in hot weather was heavier and made me feel more agitated than ever, the smallest thing annoyed me. Its good you could reflect on this and change things. I admire your courage to talk about it, women shouldn't suffer alone or in silence, hope you feel better now and you are enough as you are, comparisons keep us stuck and we should be living 💕💜
