That makes me wanna try probiotic! What probiltic did you get? :) i also read ibelieveinus drank Yogi detoc tea so Im also looking into that..

I do the same thing.. i cry and text my partner the same thing when I have moments when I thought I can't deal with this anymore.

Hopefully I can get a schedule with a naturopath this week so let's see how that goes.

Yeah it’s definiyely been one of my better months I started feeling a little discouraged but I tried to snap myself out of it the best that I could. I ended up crying a bit towards the evening -.- longest 6 months ever but thank you for the support :)

Hi! What made you survive the 6 mos off the pill? I get the feeling of feeling better some part of the day then only to feel off again towards the end of the day. Sometimes its soo much to handle that I always think I'm gonna die from this condition.. it plays with our mind so much!

I’m not taking anything, I’m looking into getting a good multivitamin. But I guess just taking it a day at a time, on my off days I try to keep busy and once I’m home I feel more comfortable, I’ve tried to keep my routine the same. At the beginning I was miserable I stayed home from work and cried. Although difficult I pushed myself to not do that I continued going to work, visiting my family and hanging out with friends. Luckily I live with my amazing boyfriend and I feel great when I’m with him. I had ROCD so bad but it kinda disintegrated, idk if it’s cause all the other OCD thoughts freaked me out but it slowly became less and less. Now during this little meltdown I can feel it creeping up a bit. As far as the improvement I’ve noted, there are moments where I’m not consumed with the thoughts and I can just go about my day normally and then I might have a weird moment throughout the day but I kinda push through it. I’m hoping eventually that’ll just occur less and less until it’s completely diminished. However, yesterday it was a bit tough and I gave in. I just keep telling myself my cycle is due soon and that it’ll pass. So basically I’m still going through it, I’ve got no idea what I’m doing or if what I’m doing is the right thing. But I refuse to let this overcome me, I want to be myself again. We can’t give up! This forum really helps so I hope you guys remain active here! I don’t post all he time cause I don’t wanna depend on it either but at times like these it helps a bit.

And yes I hate how tricky our minds can be. I never knew the severity of things, I feel like I definitely took this for granted. I can’t help but think that when we feel better we are going to appreciate that so much more.

Ive been depending on this site everyday for 1 week now so basically since i discovered this forum.. been of almost 7 weeks now and the past 4 weeks was like a nightmare for me.

I try to keep busy but i had to take a leave from work because the panic attacks are so bad I can't make even 2 hours at work :( im just lucky i have a very understanding boss because i took another month leave this whole January. The physical symptoms sometimes are just so bad i cant do anything.

Goodluck to us on our journey! I cant wait to share my progress as weeks go by

Definitely and don’t get me wrong when I first discovered this thread I was on it constantly because reading other people’s stories helped me realize what was actually going on! And I completely understand during the time I stayed home from work I couldn’t be productive at work either I was nauseous and crying uncontrollably. Once that passed is when I began to make more of an effort. I don’t want you to think I’m a super tough cookie that completely avoided that lol I was there too and soon you’ll get passed it as well! You are at a very tough stage, but I look forward to hearing about your progress as well!

Yay! Good for you :) after i stopped i got my period 5 days after and then 30 days after i also got my period but only lasted 2 days.. had some spotting 3 days before and 2 days after so yes its our hormones!!!

I had very tough 2 days.. i vomitted 4 times im not sure if its the anxiety or the antibiotics that Im taking for my uti but its a setback for me.. i feel so down. The mental symptoms i can handle a lil better than the physical ones

I’ve had my period pretty regularly since I stopped however, it hadn’t lasted my regular length up until this previous month. Hoping this one follows the same pattern! Ugh I’m sorry the physical symptoms are so rough on you, I would throw up at the beginning as well due to the anxiety. So it could be that butttt if you are suffering from loss of appetite chances are the antibiotics are messing with you as well :( hope you have a better day today! :)
