Good afternoon all, just want to post and say 'hi' and introduce myself. Just turned 51, just turned into a 'monster'. Used to be easy going, funny, a laugh, my friends say i was good to be around.....oh sorry, I need to tell you about now and not when I was 50! Now I'm a moody, miserable, whiney, stressed out, tearful, naggy b**ch!
What is going on? I was absolutely fine until i turned 51. Almost overnight changes started to happen to my body. Did I mention yet that my 'downstairs' hurts? Did i mention that when i do manage to 'get it on' with my long suffering husband it feels like I'm weeing razor blades?
So my story....I'm on ovranette, a combined pill. Have been for years, happily. The past 4 months every time I stop for the week to have my period I turn into this monster! This month was particularly bad and actually worried me so much I thought I was going crazy. It all started when I burst into tears for absolutely no reason. This led me to become very angry with myself, so i thought i'd smash a few plates while I emptied the dishwasher.....whilst putting cutlery away I managed to break the drawer, which led me back to the crying.....I ended up having a complete 'kitchen floor reset'!
I don't know what happened, this has never happened to me before....and now I'm worried that it will happen every month.
Oh and as soon as started on my next packet of pills I went back to the laid back, happy go lucky person that I normally am.
I tried to get a doctors appointment and have been told that there's a 3 week waiting list, which takes me back to my 'bad week'!
Can anyone relate to what i've written?
Hello by the way
