Waiting is not easy / When God Write Your Story [ Honey Let's Talk ]
Waiting is not easy, I have learnt to wait on God by staying calm because When God Write Your Story everything wi fall into place. Having been a Menstrual Awareness Week. First and foremost, thank you to @officialjanetmbugua for her advocacy on menstrual health. You have got lots of courage and have gone against all odds to make sure that ladies are heard when it comes to their periods. Thank you to all the ladies sharing their stories. For a long time I was ashamed to talk about this area of my life, let alone share it in any way. But today I figured why not say how it was for me. My first time was not easy. I felt as though I was less of a woman. Telling my mother was also not very automatic but she managed to figure it out and I had to tell her that it was happening. There was this guilty and shame look I had on my face because I felt then I would be different or that I would not be able to be like other girls. Then came my first year of high school, my periods shot up and I had it for 2 months making me anaemic. With the same shame I had from my first time, I thought no one can know this but I was too weak to even go to school. My parents had to pick me up from school because I was becoming pale. I had lost lots of blood and after a series of tests with my gynae, we realized that I had hormonal imbalance and my uterine wall had doubled its blood size and all the blood had to flow out meaning even more bleeding. My high school years were hard. I was in and out of hospital. Constantly being on blood supplements. It got worse, I had to be put on contraceptives, at least to stay in class for a whole lesson. Sanitary towels were a big budget in my school shopping. I would use a packet a day. This went on for six years and lots of contraceptives. But I got well and I am not ashamed anymore for having periods. I am proud and confident to know that when it's that time of the month, I thank God for the uterus and periods that I get because He created me beautifully and wonderfully❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️ Well, let's say God healed me and the journey only brought me even closer to Jesus❤️❤️❤️ To get more on my story you can get link in bio as well as if you would like to read it you can get it on Blog Www.Honeyletstalk.com
