Imagine Implying that ovulating is not a legit reason to cry

I think they’re implying that legitimate things are immediate, sad, and personal. But I think all of these options are legitimate reasons to cry.

What’s an illegitimate reason? To manipulate someone

I am a big believer in the therapeutic effects of having a good solid cry.

I am man enough to cry when I need to and damn, a good solid cry does feel amazing when you are done.

Crying removes emotional tension and gets rid of excess energy, leaving you better able to deal with the issue after.

For most of my life whenever I felt shitty for a few days but hadn’t cried yet, I’d put on a sad movie and just bawl during the whole thing. Felt much better after a good cry and a good sleep.

Do people really go crazy when they are hungry? I keep seeing it and I assume it’s some exageration or meme.

Rule of HALT - never argue / discuss when you are hungry, angry, lonely or tired. All of these feelings make people unreasonable and they lash out.

Especially people with an unhealthy relationship to food.

There are definitely people who can’t handle it. It makes sense in a way; pretty much everybody will lose it once they start starving, so there’s definitely a line. Some people just have that line much closer. It seems like a physical tolerance, not really a psychological or character trait.

My spouse is like that and can’t go more than 6 hours or so without food. I’m the opposite and can easily go more than a day without before getting cranky, but I assume that’s from a lot of practice as a kid.

If only I could get my spouse to understand this better. Eating times seem to be her go to when time is tight and we need to shift things around. That really doesn’t work for me.

With the way it can effect me I’ve been concerned I might be diabetic, but my blood work consistently shows that I’m not and not close to at risk of developing it.

It doesn’t help that I’ve had numerous experiences over time with people saying they’d be fine to skip a meal or eat later who definitively weren’t. As a response I tend to worry about that more than I probably should.

Thankfully it only comes up regularly during road trips, and we’ve agreed that it only takes one of us to want to stop for us to stop (and go get food, bathroom, etc).

I worked in the food service industry for 5 years, yes they absolutely do.

We had to call the police on people multiple times in those years for things as simple as “1 too many pickles on burger” because the dude got 4 pickles when he asked for 3.

Every single day, multiple times a day, people came in and lost their shit because they were hungry.

A fun thing is that I don’t even have a uterus anymore but since I kept my ovaries, I still know when my period would’ve been because I still get emotional and hungry about it. Stupid body.
