@linamali I'm 39 and have found the exact same thing, that these phases seem more extreme now and I struggle in that last week. ugh

@great_depression Well now I’m really curious as to how I kept growing until I was 19/20 yet got my period at 12. I knew my body tends to buck the norm, but dang.

Thanks for all of this, btw!!

@casapollo I was thinking something similar. I was 14 when I got my period, but I was only 4'11. Thank goodness I grew those extra 3 inches by age 22.

@great_depression Not sure about that statement re: eating disorders. Completely ignores the social, psychological, and brain development factors which factor into EDs. Plus, as far as I know, men also develop EDs around the same time in life. Just seemed extremely speculative with very little supporting info.
