menstruation, periods
honestly there should be more discussion and normalization of periods
people who get periods go through fucking hell during that time of the month (or whichever time, some people have irregular periods). sometimes you can walk just fine but the pain gets distracting during work. sometimes you can't walk or stand. sometimes you have to stay home, throwing up and constantly rolling around because your body is literally rejecting an organ
i went on for a while there BUT point is
periods suck. a lot. they're very, VERY disruptive to daily life. be sympathetic to people who get them.
i say "people with periods" because, BECAUSE, not only women get periods. hell, not all women get periods, and that is okay. men can get periods. nonbinary people like me can get periods. everybody suffers. it just happens that about half of the world has to suffer more on a monthly basis.

@scoliwings periods are proof that humans are social animals aslfnsadgnsrgj if we were solitary and roughly half of people were in severe pain for a decent chunk of time we'd be extincti sjkdfnalkl
