I have recently in the last year quit birth control after taking it for 10 years due to hormonal changes causing depression (ages 15-25). The initial reasoning to taking it was my irregular periods that led to me being extremely anemic. In this state was painful. My perception of time felt strung out. Taking birth control pills was a form of a clock for me, it was stability. Every time I wanted to quit - I would go back in this floating state. My body almost depended on it's regularity. Not only did I have to take it everyday, I had to take it everyday at the same time.

Throughout the ages, people have associated the moon with fertility and female energy, relating the menstrual and lunar cycle as they follow the same timeline.

I explored an idea of having a lunar cycle clock that also has a predicted menstrual cycle predicted by an accompany period tracker app.

Now being off birth control for about a year, my period is still irregular and does not link with the lunar cycle. Is my perception of time skewed because of this?
