My Third Week of Celibacy ❤️‍🔥

My period came in sooo STRONG this month but it blew my mind because I just had my period at the beginning of this month. Could abstaining from sex make my cycle different? Or maybe I just needed to release so my period came early? Questions, Questions, and not enough answers. Its a bit concerning because this would happen to me alot before I got on birth control and now it has me thinking “Is my BC even working anymore?”

But having my period has made me realize that I don’t want to be on birth control anymore. I have been on birth control since I was 15 years old, and as I am exploring holistic health and veganism I have really wanted to just stop taking birth control. I started with the pill but I’ve been on Nexplanon for a few years now. I am nervous to take it out because I would get VERY BAD periods to the point where I couldn’t leave my bed.

My whole body would be burning up (It felt like I was burning alive), I would constantly bleed profusely, My period would be longer than a week, I would cry soo much, and my cramps felt like I was dying.

I did take a class with Queen Afua and she talked about her excruciating periods and said that she was hemorrhaging and due to her changing the way she ate it stopped.

So yeah, I have been making changes in my life when it comes to junk food, meat, dairy, toxic food, and toxic people/environments. The next step is to take out my nexplanon for good!!!

I also heard that red raspberry tea and vaginal steams help when it comes to periods. Is this true for an extreme case like mine? Comment me your remedies and opinions on what you think is best for excruciating periods 😭

So back to my feelings on my celibacy, I have been soooo HORNY LMAO! I love my self-control when it comes to sex. I will say that I am good when it comes to that. And, NO people I did not cave 🤣🤣🤣. I am still going strong on being celibate.

I honestly used to not understand why people made Celibacy such a big deal. I would think “ whoopty doo, you didn't get dick”. The reason I would think like that is because when I was in high school so many kids around me were being intimate but I decided for myself that I wasn’t going to do that. So I guess it just came naturally for me to hold off and discipline myself. Because LET ME TELL YOUUU it was notttt easy to refrain myself back then but I did and I am proud of myself!

I’ve been in a slumpy mood this past week. Is it because of the retrograde that is going on? Or am I just cranky because I want sex 😅😅.

I was feeling up and down emotionally. I really needed to release and write out my thoughts/emotions because old baggage was coming up. I wrote about it and did some shadow work. This altered my mood completely 😊(Fine Art Canvas @Pinterest).

I do believe that the excess baggage and the trauma that I still carry correlates with the HORRENDOUS periods that I get. As soon as I did shadow work and journaled out my trauma/excess baggage my pain went away and my heavy flow lightened up.

I didn’t expect this post to become all about periods lmao but this is what naturally came out this week for me to write about. I hope this helps anyone who goes through excruciating periods like me. We are in this together.
