just really having a hard time with this today, feel like crying. I know it's just hormones magnifying all the stuff going on in my life, but it still feels awful and confusing. Can't slow my thoughts down, can't focus, and feel just so weepy and blue. I know in 2 days I'll feel fine, it's just hard riding it out. If anybody has any suggestions on how to handle this it's nice to hear em.
maybe some deep breathing and meditation would help...or some form of exercise you enjoy. just keep busy i would say cuz i know how it is definitely. if im sittin around doing nothin i start to get sad for no reason, especially around that time
50 mg. per day of vitamin B6 -- does wonders for me in evening out the hormonal moodswings (recommended by my doc). I found daily multivitamins that have almost that much (Target brand "women's mega multivitamin").
thanks for posting this. I have been having the same problem to the point that I am so depressed i can't stand myself. Most of the time, I just cry.
well i don't know how old you are, but a glass of wine always seems to do the trick. oh and chocolate. or something sweet. cliche i know, but it does help. just need to relax. i get the same way. it sucks.
I've been getting this way lately too... It's just been worse the last couple/few months - makes me wonder if there isn't something seasonal about it, too. I've been mostly doing just as Jewel said and trying to keep busy. I've found that I don't feel as bad if I really seem to be getting something *accomplished* during the day. Feel better everyone!
Thanks everybody. I am old enough that maybe my cycle is starting to think about winding down, scary to say! a glass of wine a day is a brilliant suggestion as it helps with everything, and chocolate is a godsend. Don't you love in the Harry Potter books how chocolate cures the bad vibe you get from seeing a dementor? Women authors rock! PS I am feeling way better now, 4 days into it and over that hump
