"i got it when i was 21-22 years old. i was excited about it at first because you don&#039;t get periods and it&#039;s every 3 months. however i did get spotting in between, which was expected. the worst part about it was the effect it had on my mood swings. i got severely depressed and had high anxiety and would lash out a lot. i was also hungry all the time and probably gained 5lbs at most. it really affected my performance in school and my close relationships."
