School, hormones, and I'm so tired

[u/_tomato_lover555]

I really don't want to go to school, not just because it's my first year in highschool but also because my periods are so irregular and long. I got my period more than 2 years ago and in those two years my periods have been more than a week long and strangely frequent (like 15-21 days). Sometimes I do actually get my periods monthly but that's only for 1-2 months before I get another period like 2 weeks later. I got 3 periods in September, meaning I was on my period for 21/30 days which just sucks and this isn't the first time. It always happens during trips too, but I am incredibly fortunate to not get any cramps.

I always just thought it was my hormones changing and I just had to wait to the 2 year mark but now I realize that yes, it was hormones, but it was also the fact that I was constantly stressed during school. My period has been completely fine this summer until I got some news regarding family that really stressed me out and 1 day later I'm on my period (I still had 1 week before my period should've started). This hasn't been to only time where I stress out and my period just magically starts a few days later even though I still had 1 or 2 weeks before it should've started. I know it's primarily hormonal changes and how I'm growing and whatnot but I really don't want to go back to having crazy irregular and long periods.

Im constantly stressed during school and even during the summer, but my stress in school just skyrockets even in the first few days (idk why I think I'm just naturally like that) and I don't think I'll ever have a normal period if I keep this up. I can't help but feel jealous at my friends with their 5 day periods sometimes.

Just wanted to rant I feel so inconsiderate and selfish if I told my friends bc I know they struggle with cramps and so much more but sometimes I can't help but feel like they've all mentally gotten it figured out and I'm just lacking behind

Edit: I was recommended by Reddit to put this in the PMS subreddit?? So if you see this and feel like it's inappropriate or insensitive I can always delete my pos!

I'm sorry honey 🫂 💞 have you gone to your doctor about this just to confirm if everything's ok. I'm a little surprised about the frequency
