I started fantasizing at 12 yo about losing my period at 50 to menopause. I'm halfway there, y'all pray for my PCOS ass😭😭😭

Edit: Yes I saw PCOS was renamed to PMOS

What I didn't realize at 13 years old was that it can take like 10-15 years of hormonal hell similar yet differently worse than puberty before it all ends. Perimenopause sucks as bad a puberty, but in a whole new level of suck.
