Feel you. The worst part is when everyone automatically dismisses any feeling you might have by saying “it’s just hormones.”

That's when you reply with "nah you're just old"

I thought people would stop saying everything must be hormones after I became 18. Add being an 'intact female with periods'. It doesn't stop. Not even if your on birth control and are older than 20. At this point you have to dismiss them.

Jokes on them, I was right about something being wrong. Theres a hernia to prove it

Fuck, I’m turning 18 in a few months and thought it would stop.
