I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

Sounds like a busy and exciting morning especially for a presenting one. @CheerBear
Yes the new med. it may not be that but I’ve never been like this before just a sobbing slobbery mess. I’ve managed to peel part of my skin from my eyelid away from being so soggy 😳:face_with_rolling_eyes:.
also still bleee-ding two weeks on now. See gynaecologist next week again so hormones could be in it.
I am scared of seeing psych because I’m carrying so much shame and feeling so neurotic and I know she’ll be disappointed how far I’ve fallen at the moment.
I cant remember, why is cushion counsellor coming to an end.?

I hope it’s the meds and hormones mix compounded, only because chemistry can be tweaked, and it does mean that it’s mostly outside you ..... hugs Hon. There would be a whole lot of stress hormones flooding in there too, and they have had a huge impact on my body system.

It was full on emotional @CheerBear but ok. I’m exhausted and too tired to think. I hope your day was ok. 💜🤗

Just a quick check in. I crashed for a few hours last night not long after posting but then had a night of being awake with a few naps here and there. Today I feel ok and hoping that will last.
I think my psych was dumbfounded by my reactions to everything. Having it written to hand to her helped. I’m no closer to understanding what is what with hormones, meds, and just my reactivity.
Today feels like a rebuild day. My son wants to do family dinner tonight as he cancelled Tuesday nights when I didn’t go. I didn’t want him to cancel as I want them all to still get together when I’m not around but he did.
Im supposed to see my therapist and probably will but feel like I’ve been through the ringer yesterday.
I have so little energy but need to try and work out how to begin again.
Hugs to all 💜🤗
