You are definately not a wimp...it can get pretty bad.
I luckily am better because I'm on the pill.
Over the years ...after several years my period symptoms would change. The last thing I had experienced was I would only get relief when I had my period. Yes 3 or more weeks it was absolutely awful.
If it weren't for the pill I can't tell you what I'd do. I could not handle the feeling of a non-stop period. That's exactly what it felt like. Getting a break for like 4 days was not cutting it.
I know what you're going through. When I was much younger the intensity was much worse. My world would stop. I'd have to call in sick from school etc.
So you are definately not a wimp.
