Painful periods can be debilitating, but is that something you want to explain to your boss?
but a mandate, I went to work as most people do on the second day of my period, or as I like to call it, The Worst Day of My Life That Takes Place Every Month. It was the kind of pain that makes getting a root canal seem like child’s play and I was so unwell that I would go into the bathroom and lay down on the floor every hour for five minutes to try and pull it together.
“think that their employers will find period pain as an invalid reason to call in sick to work,” and a majority of respondents felt uncomfortable asking for the time because they were concerned about having to obtain medical proof of their pain and discomfort. My insides are falling out of my body, what more proof does anyone need?
I suppose now, the one positive thing to come out of working from home is during my personal dark time, I can stay in bed and let the warmth of my overheating laptop function as a heating pad for my abdomen. But as sure as the sun rises, people who menstruate are being summoned back to offices where they will once again have to suffer and bleed in a shared space while pretending they are not suffering or bleeding for the comfort of others.
