Starting month 4 off the pill.. I was REALLY good on my period.. but now that i am off, today i am remember bad memories that are so irrelevant and my OCD thoughts are slightly there. I cant say that they are not trying to peak through because they SURE ARE. But I wont be mad at this process.. I cant wait until my next period lol
me again, does anybody feel like just extremely in a mad/bad mood all the time ??? Like I wake up each morning and i feel ANGRY ... AT NOTHING? I dont know its so weird..
I just want to remind you all how strong you are for going through this and combating it day by day! In response to your question I used to get in bad/mad moods not all the time, just out of nowhere. This is one of the moods I rarely had to deal with fortunately but I haven’t experienced that in quite some time. I would however feel worried/annxious in the same pattern that you would feel angry. I hated it. That’s pretty much gone as well. (Hopefully lol) I’m at my 6 month mark the good days are starting to outweigh the bad. And my bad days don’t compare to the horrors of the beginning. Hoping to see more and more improvement as time progresses.
Let me know if you think this is normal or not please! Well first! I feel significantly better right before my period. I start to feel in love again and all my thoughts really just vanish also, I just got my period. It came about 4 days early and I am never ever early. Also, I usually start to feel period symptoms about a week or so before the actual thing comes (sore breasts, tiredness and cramping). I think this is the first time I never felt anything and was actually surprised to get it. It’s about my 3rd day and I still don’t feel cramps or anything! It’s so weird. Also I’m about 9 months off and still have these negative thoughts about my boyfriend quite often.
How long were u on pill for?
Thanks girl! I too was seeing improvement each period/month! I guess December was really good for me, that I wasn't expected what would come for January (even if it wasn't good) I dont know I feel a little off. Maybe cause I dont have a routine and were home for 2 weeks
And yes my thoughts vanish before and during my period :( thats why i feel so weird right now because I feel like I combatted them already and i really don't want to do this again
My thoughts tend to get worse jus before my period starts an then during my period. Iv been feeling quite good last couple of weeks but i kno il start to get anxious next week again cos im scared of my thoughts an moods around my period :-(
I always feel really good a few days before my period and once I get it the thoughts come back. Its really weird. I’m starting to ignore the thoughts although they feel so strong at times. I have to realize my boyfriend is wonderful and some times I do but other times I just want to end the relationship in hopes of finding happiness again??? Idk if that makes sense but it’s just so frustrating
No i totally understand. My husband loves me unconditionaly but just times i feel weird and sort of detached. Never doubted my feelings before coming off the pill. I was besotted! Now sometimes i just feel emotionless or else jus wana cry. Us women get it so tough!
How many months off are you? And yeah we have ALL thought breaking up with our boyfriends would find us happiness... but in fact that is not true. There is an underlying issue. Mine was the fear of being left. even though I am okay with someone leaving me, I guess i have bad memories associated with that. But right now I can 100% tell this is hormonal because after each period the symptoms come back.. and yes they are less and less.. I am just getting SO FRUSTRATED that they are even coming back :'( I actually want to cry so bad right now!!! And AT NOTHING!!!! I dont want to go through this again :'(
How long were u on bc for? I was on it 8 years and im 14 months off an still struggling. Is there a correlation between being on it longterm an takin longer to recover?
9 months! It stinks. It’s gotten a lot better even though the thoughts are still here!
I feel like my thoughts are jumping like monkeys from a tree. Right now I have no specific thoughts .. but its just this UNKNOWN FEELING. I am feeling like somethings wrong with me. I dont know if its because before starting my period I KNEW my period was coming.. so I had a real reason to be feeling good and now its like.. Im not ovulating.. I am not PMS"ing.. I am not on my period. I AM JUST NOTHING. Schools off for the winter break.. I have no job.. It is FREEZING OUTSIDE, so I cant do anything. I am so frustrated with my life I am so sorry guys. - Nikki
Only a year and half! If I was on it for 8 years I would say there is a correlation. But int the archives a girl was on it for 2 weeks and the symptoms stuck for 6 months!!! So It is hard to tell girl :'(
