Hiya losingtheplot and Tori,
I am sorry you are both having bad dips again. Great advise about what to eat or take when nausea hits. It must be awful to awaken with that when it's hard sometimes to face a new day when times are tough. Crisp are a great treat for me too, but let's keep that between ourselves....
Tori, I feel so much for you. It seems we are on a similar wavelength atm. That black cloud feels so heavy I know. You do an amazing lift for us, promising us it will get better, and I hope you can see that for yourself too Tori. We know we are having to live with these inconsistencies, and that is hard. But it will pass, but I understand how bad it is to believe when we are in the huge dips down.
Thanks for asking losingtheplot, I have been a bit reflective today, pms, which pissed me right off. My natural cycle is showing no signs of stopping, every 4 weeks without fail. Am trying to count the positives, the last couple of weeks have felt physical improvements, and slightly better moods. So I should be happy.
But at the age of 56, after 43 years of pms, I just want it to stop. I feel dragged down with it all. Instead it is so very much worse. Having to continually up my hrt to try to cease my own cycle,seeing my friends don't ever even have to think about all this hormonal crap, as they went through mostly symptomless peri and meno many years ago, and right now I am struggling to accept it. It's relentless, I just can't see an end.
I know in a few days I will lift a bit, and just carry on, until the fucking pms or pmdd kicks in again, as it will, as it has for 43 years. Sorry my lovely ladies, my support group who yourselves go through so much, it's just a shite few days for all of us.
Roll on the better days.
But hugs to you both. Xx
