Puberty Blues

{credit}

Almost 15 years ago I went through puberty- that ugly, awkward, uncomfortable stage of life. I began high school with braces, bad skin and a shocking pair of purple tinted glasses, seriously I was not at my prettiest. Happily I made it through this stage of life and into my twenties things became pretty cruisey...until a late last year, everything just went whack. Yes, I just said whack!
My generally good skin suffered from painful breakouts, that time of the month suddenly became extreme agony, I was always and forever tired and worst of all I was so bloody emotional- up and down like a roller coaster, feeling so sad to the point I was sure I was going completely crazy.
Last week I took myself off to the doctor to ask some questions, looking for answers other than my diagnosis of batshit-crazy. After a bit of discussion and some thinking my lovely new doctor gave me an answer I really wasn't expecting- I'm going through puberty...again! because apparently I didn't do a good enough job of it the first time round.
Having lost nearly 50 kilos my body is having a resurgence and realigning all my hormones and in order to do that is going through puberty. I'm hoping that its a fairly quick process, because seriously I have never been so emotional and emo in my life. One moment I feel completely happy and content and then next moment I am about ready to kill. I have a new respect and understanding for teenagers for sure! The doctor has given me something that will hopefully help and I'm interested to see how they work.
Have you ever experienced anything similar? Or am I all alone in my old-age puberty?
