@hopefulencounter I can understand how confusing it is to feel stressed without fully realizing it. It’s important to be kind to yourself during times like this. Your body is going through a lot with these hormonal changes, and it’s important to take it easy on yourself. If it continues, it might help to check in with a professional. Take care 💜

@hopefulencounter stress can be a tricky thing, sometimes we're so absorbed by our thoughts and all the stuff we have to do that we don't even realize how deep we're drowning in it. Regardless of whether you feel stressed or not, treat yourself as kindly as you can, give yourself breaks and make sure to make for self-care. Mental and physical wellbeing can do a lot to improve your menstrual health. If you don't notice any changes or if this affects your life too much, you can still consider getting a professional assessment, there might be more going on than you think.

@hopefulencounter

Sometimes. when we are stressed there is a limit to where it does close off and coincides with overthinking, which then becomes over-stressed. I'm sorry that you are having to go through this, and remember you can always separate each task to a short-term goal list/ long-term goal list. <3
