It's Not The End Of The World - It's Temporary And Hormonal

Hello everyone!

I hope that you're doing amazing wherever you are in the world.

My name is Bhoomshakha and I welcome you to my channel.

As always I'm so grateful that you're listening,

Subscribing and commenting.

I really appreciate the support.

In this one I want to speak to you a little bit about how I've noticed there's this tendency within myself and this is particularly geared towards women or people who identify as women.

So I've noticed a tendency within myself that at certain points in my cycle,

At certain points when my hormones are doing their crazy dance,

I feel like it's the end of the world for me.

It feels like everything is going crazy,

It's going in the wrong direction.

I feel like everything that I've been working on has just completely gone berserk.

I have no faith in the world or in myself and I feel like it's like the end of the line for me.

It's like the end of the world.

I can't see any hope in the situation and I just don't know what to do and usually what I do at this point is I ignore the world,

Ignore reality and I hide under the pillows or under the cover,

Sorry,

And eat my chips and read my mangas until this feeling passes.

I wanted to do a little bit of a video on this because I notice a lot of you have actually messaged me saying that this is actually true.

Not only viewers but I've noticed this tendency in my friends as well and so I wanted to do this video because that's what the whole power of cycle tracking is all about.

That's the reason why I'm actually really hyping cycle tracking so much because it really helps you in this regard absolutely in such a big manner that I can't even emphasize it enough.

Okay so I'm gonna read a comment first by Ms.

Noemer.

She says yes I have over 15 years of data on my app.

It's very helpful for doctors if you have any issues.

I was able to identify that I have premenstrual good moods but I sometimes experience postmenstrual depression.

Around this time I can get very low mood and despondent.

I find myself thinking what is even the point of being alive.

Now that I can recognize it I can realize it's hormonal and temporary.

It's hormonal and temporary like literally that should be a banner every single time you're going through any kind of random mood swings where it feels like it's the end of the world.

It feels like everything has just gone in the opposite direction of where you wanted it to go and you feel like there's no hope left of it at all.

Literally you should have a banner blinking in the side like a neon red or neon orange saying it's hormonal it's temporary it's going to pass tomorrow is going to be a new day and you're gonna think what was I so worried about everything seems fine right and that's one of the points of cycle tracking is literally that you just in that regard if you can just have that sense that oh right okay yeah no I'm not crazy my life is not completely terrible and I'm not in a completely horrible situation in fact what's going on is just I am going through a valley in my hormones and I just feel a little bit depressed because of it because the hormones are going in and out and going crazy in my body and if I just let it pass if I can lean into it and feel it if I want but if I just take a day or two just to take care of myself and let it pass in a couple of days all of this madness is going to be behind me and I'm gonna wonder why I was feeling so crazy.

Now a lot of times what happens to me in this regard is I get very restless you know I and now that I'm cycle tracking I'm noticing like my restlessness has a pattern it usually just kind of comes up for me at certain points in my cycle and so when I get this restless feeling in the past I would have just been like oh my god my obviously I don't know what I'm doing I have no idea what I'm doing my my life is not on track I haven't done anything good with my life I am NOT impacting the world in the way I want to I'm not doing anything good with my life I'm a completely useless good for nothing and I need to do some I need to make some major changes right it sounds crazy when you actually hear it but in my head it seems very logical and I'm in my mode and my restless mode or my me in my depressed mode or sad mode whatever that mode is whatever you want to call it and I'm sitting there thinking yeah I need to change everything and so if I in the past at least if I would let myself go into this mode and not really realize I just hormone stop it don't do that I would start changing all these different things up I'd be like alright I'm gonna quit my job tomorrow I'm going to find a new job I'm going to move to Alaska I'm going to sell my car you know I start making a list of all these different things I'm gonna do thankfully thankfully the hormonal madness only lasts for a few hours or a couple of days and after that you're back up again and you're like oh right I guess I don't need to sell my car and move to Alaska or quit my job everything is okay right and so it's really important now that I realize it to be like okay cool yeah no everything's okay you're just going through a hormonal phase nothing to change you don't need to do anything at this moment in time just take your time relax it's just your restless phase take care of yourself you know go for a bubble bath or go for a walk or in a journal a little bit just relax and be with it just wait for a couple of days and you'll notice that everything is back to normal again you'll notice that everything is okay again you'll notice that that that feeling that you have that everything is spiraling out of control and you're in a very terrible part of your life or you're doing nothing good with your life it's gonna disappear and all of a sudden everything's gonna be good again and you're gonna wonder what you were making such a big hoopla about right so really really important because a lot of people what they do in this situation is they assume that they're depressed and then they go to the doctor or psychiatrist or whoever might be and they ask that I tell them that they're depressed and the doctor because and doctors and people they're just busy they don't have that much time they're like well if she says this she's depressed maybe she is and so either they put you on birth control pills which makes it worse or they put you on anti-depressant depressants which again can sometimes make it worse or you know they kind of put you on all these random pills or regimens and things like that but you actually really don't need because in fact you're not depressed it's just hormonal it's temporary and so every month you're gonna go through this and unless you're tracking your cycles you don't know that every month you're going through this you don't realize that this is just a normal up and down of the cycle right and that in itself is like wow like hallelujah moment right like the light bulb just lit in my head and so now when I'm going through this phase where all of a sudden I'll wake up in the morning I'm like oh my god I'm in this phase where it feels like nothing I'm doing is right everything I do is wrong I'm fat I'm ugly I'm boring I'm I am unintelligent I am this and that and everything terrible nothing good in me at all I haven't done anything with my life everything seems like a complete waste I should just end it all that's you know that's the kind of like feeling that I wake up with and now I know oh okay cool it's hormonal so I could just be like okay I doesn't mean that I ignore it of course I'm not like all right I'm just gonna ignore myself no I know that it's just temporary and it needs self-care it means that I'm just I'm pushing myself too hard I'm not taking care of myself enough I'm not giving myself enough self-care or love and so what I do on those days and what I implore all of you to do as well is to realize again it's hormonal it's temporary it's not the end of the world and to take the time to just be with yourself relax you know love yourself take care of yourself give yourself what you need if you need a day of just sitting around and and lazing about watching Netflix and do that right it's okay the world won't end if you do that for a day or two it will not end I assure you and so this is what cycle tracking really teaches us and that literally is like the most important thing in the world for a woman to know but we're not taught this and that is in itself the thing that irks me the most that my mom I mean she could have gone she had a very terrible cycle a lot of times and she went through a lot of depressive phases and things like that where she spent a lot of time in antidepressants but she didn't need to because it was just her hormones her cycle was the thing that needed work not her brain not her neurochemistry right and so but she didn't work on her new her like hormonal cycles she didn't work on her cycles at all she just worked on her neurochemistry she kept on pumping herself with all of these pills and medications nothing worked and then she went through menopause and now she's like much calmer because all of her cycles have kind of really stabilized so I really wish like that's the reason I do these videos that's the reason I'm really doing this videos even though sometimes I'm like what am I talking about I'm talking about my period on online oh my god but um I'm really doing it because it's important even if one or two females women who identify as women people who identify as women listen to this video and they're like hmm I think I'm gonna start tracking my cycle even if that happens with these videos I think it will have done this job because literally it's gonna change your life it's gonna change your mindset towards your body it's gonna change your mindset towards all of these ups and downs because all of a sudden it's not going to be a surprise anymore you're not gonna wake up one day be like oh my god I can't believe I'm going through the cycle phase no you can be like ah today is this phase and usually around this time I start feeling depressed or start feeling hopeless about the world so oh right okay cool that's what I feel right now that's it yeah you're like all right cool and a day or two will pass and I'll be back to normal again I'll be happy again great awesome now you know and now you don't have to be like all right I have to change my complete life around I don't I you don't have to pick up your video boyfriend sell your condo move across the world start teaching yoga I mean unless you want to really do that but you don't have to do it because of this phase you can just do it because you make a conscious choice about it okay I hope it doesn't make sense to you I really wanted to share this with you and I've been wanting to share these videos for a while I hope that you understand that I'm doing it because there is real importance to cycle tracking I'm not doing it because anyone's paying me nothing like that it's literally that important to me and I really believe in its efficacy and improving a woman's life any person who identifies as a woman's life okay if you have questions comment below and I
