My elbows and knees hurt like growing pains, my period has a mind of its own, I'm awkward AF with new people and situations, clumsy, and part of me wants to die. (I'm not suicidal just feel extra emo...a lot!).

The awkward anxiety is embarrassing. It's like I completely left my confidence at home and then fumble and act weird. Not on dates necessarily, I'm actually more confident w those. Oh yeah and being single during this is prob a blessing as much as a curse.

I'm 47 and we really got the short end of all the sticks. We bleed, can make babies, have our rights be constantly under attack bc we're lesser humans? Not equal? Can't think for ourselves? No we're a threat to them bc we are strong AF. Oh and then after all that we revert back to teenagers in old lady bodies waiting for our vaginas to dry up and start to shrink if we don't get enough action.

At least the monthly blood goes away, eventually, after who knows how long of torturous PMS symptoms and unpredictable cycles.

Oh and if you need any info from professionals sorry ladies. Not enough is known and it's different for everyone. The best prescription I've found is this sub. Thank you for reading my vent.
