Who doesn't romanticize their period?

I've seen a lot of people on the internet who have created rituals or self care routines for when they get their period. The ones I've seen seem to romanticize it in a way.
Don't get me wrong, self care is essential while your body does its monthly shedding of the uterine lining. But for me it isn't cute. It isn't a time to do a whole ass ritual. It usually comes on a day I have to work so all I can do is take some ibuprofen and try to power through.
Mine comes with bad cramps, headaches, fatigue, hip pain, back pain, clots, and brain fog. I do not have the strength to do anything "special" for my period. All I can do is push through work and curl up in a ball when I get home.
