It’s 3:15 p.m. Do you know where your contest entry is?

From Uma:

“Hi, Roller Coaster,

“If you are making small attempts at self harm during your periods, I think you do need to see a doctor now. This is a signal something is quite wrong, regardlesss of the pain of your menstral period.

“What I’m saying is, others feel pretty bad pain, but don’t make attempts at self harm. That issue is something you really need to see a psychiatrist for and also talk with a therapist about. The depression you mentioned should also be addressed.

“Please don’t worry about the stigma. SO many people have received help with problems like these. You are more important than any shame over this. And it may be something that can fairly easily be resolved.

“If not, medication might really help you. And I’m sure you want help. You need to explore different avenues for help: the psychiatric doctor being the first. Best wishes.”

Thanks, Uma!
