When I was 13 I was a real windbag on the subject of "What the hell do you mean you're sitting out gym class because of your period, you freaking wimpy-assed moron?" I started getting cramps two years ago, so now I know why some girls sat out gym, and I also know I shouldn't be too windbaggy about depression.
Especially since depression isn't even close to your topic.

lol, I followed that thought process though, derailed or not. And yeah, I agree. I think people who don't do for others are depressed, and doing for others is defenitily preventative medicine against depression.
ReplyDeleteAnd you know, I never got really crampy either, till I had my tubes tied in January, and now it's like GAH! WTF!?
I don't like it one bit...
