LOL so typical.... always treating the symptoms instead of looking for the cause of the symptoms in the first place. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks so much for checking up on me.... the last 2 days have been better! The mornings are a little rough with intense nervousness but when I get going it gets better. How are you doing?

That’s okay you have been so supportive with me!
I have been okay the past two weeks but today I feel quite bad, the thoughts are bad today and trying to convince me they are true or mean something about myself, and lots of crying.
I’m due to ovulate in the next day or two

oh honey , i'm so sorry... its hard when you have these days especially after 2 weeks of feeling better.... its like " I thought we were past this why is this back again. I def think its a hormone thing, my thoughts were VERY negative for about a week and now that I'm in the "fertile" window its getting better. Plenty of rest, and be around people you love and make you happy, don't be alone, it makes it worse. I felt better being around people

we are going to get past this, its just a season in which we need to rest, look after our bodies and stay away from things that cause us stress as any form of stress is not good at this point. Our bodies have been created to self heal, but it takes time.

I've just finished reading a book abut a guy that went through a nervous breakdown and he's experience was so spot on. he says "my mind was no experiencing life differently" he flet like he was going insane.... nothing made sense to him anymore.... Our nervous system has been impacted negatively from bc, it causes a total imbalance ... one moment it got the hormones it needed and then suddenly it was gone so everything crashes while it tries to figure out what it needs to do. It has an impact on neurotransmitters too which is whats causing intense symptoms... but if we look back, we have made progress so although it doesn't feel like we moving forward at this stage, we are, we just need to wait it out. I'm gald you crying though, apparently tears release toxins so cry away sweetheart.... it will do you good. the thoughts are just that, thoughts, they cant harm us!

Thank you!
I know it’s so hard as soon as you have a good day you think your fine and it all comes back.
Hopefully in the next few months we are feeling better.
I wish I could erase my thoughts and never remember them or get them again!
God I can’t wait till the end of this year.
Hopefully we are past this mess.
Glad to see your doing a bit better.
I have been trying to keep busy and being around family and friends makes it feel so much better.
We have literally had the same thing it’s the worst !

Hi everyone. 

It's been a while since I posted anything! Up until a week and a half ago I was doing so much better.  I felt happier, happy in my relationship  my sex drive came back, I'm eating properly again  it was great! Lately I've been feeling down and anxious with all those horrible feelings coming back.  I'm starting to wonder if I have either pre-menstrual dysphoria or pre-menstrual exacerbation and coming off the pill and allowing my natural hormones to come back has triggered it.  I'm now coming up to the end of my third cycle and due to start my fourth in a few days.  Hoping that when I start, these horrible feelings will start to fade again!

I also found a small lump in my breast with a bit of redness, so that hasn't exactly helped.  I've got a hospital appointment to get it checked out on Thursday but I'm praying it's nothing to worry about. 

Hope everyone is starting to feel a bit better!

Hi Seablonde,
I’m in the same boat I started to feel better and this is my fourth month off an I’m starting to feel all those terrible thoughts and feelings come back.
Mine is more intrusive thoughts about my partner which makes me feel terrible and so anxious around him.
I could just cry our relationship and life was stress free before all of this and that’s what we need to keep in mind.
Hope your apt goes well I’m sure it’s nithing to worry about. Keep us posted :)

Yep, mine too! It makes me not want to be with him and makes me irritable and snappy, it feels horrible. But at the same time I know I don't want us to break up. For now I'm just waiting it out until I feel better again. At least now, I know that times like this will pass and that's what is keeping me going. I stopped taking my supplements for a bit which might not have helped so I need to start getting back on those again and will be giving Agnus Castus a go after my next period!

Hang in there everyone, it will get better!!

Yes iv been having such a bad day.
Sometimes I’ll go through our old messages or photos to remind myself that’s not me and that it has to be hormonal.
It’s the headrest thing ever
It freaks me out thinking this can last a year or more :(

Hi everyone,
Have been having a pretty rough few days
I have been experiencing horrible violent intrusive thoughts that bring so so much anxiety.
Just needing some reassurance from someone who has gone through this .
Thank !

Hi! I have and still do on a regular basis. I just keep thinking this isn’t me, it’s the hormones and I can usually keep them at bay and ignore them. It’s super hard but with time you’ll start to believe yourself. You’ll say, I didn’t do it before when I had these thoughts and I won’t now. It’s tricking your mind !

well my friend all I can say is that if we've come this far in 6 months, i'm sure the next 6 will bring even more good results... we just need to keep each other going. I also wish I could erase my negative thoughts and go back to the days when I was passionate and excited about life itself.... this is all a bit exhausting at times... having to fight our thoughts and to stay positive and remember that this too shall pass but we got this !!!!

What helps me tremendously is my faith in the Lord. n the darkest times He has never left me and HE is the one giving me grace enough to make it through each day. You know when you wish there was someone that could help you out of any mess, that's how I feel about HIM, He made us and He knows how to fix us even though its taking time... for every beginning there is an end so there is a definite end for this season.... one day one hour one minute at a time.... and then we can help others through this

I've started taking Agnus since last week.... nothing major to report at this stage, If I remember it takes about 3 weeks to start having an impact....
