my brain is wandering off on it's own again...

sorry, wasn't clear. i started taking it for the three or four days before my period for pmdd. it worked so spectacularly well that now i take it daily. used to be i'd fly off the handle AND be spectacularly stupid. now i'm stupid but emotionally aware and calm enough to know better. mostly.

all things being equal, i'd rather be dumb and nice than dumb and evil tempered.

 

glad it is working, it sucks that it makes you "dumb" though. that is why I quit most of the psych drugs I was on, bc they made me so out of it, and forgetful and I am enough as it is naturally. lol

 

i would get dumb anyway. it's AMAZING the things my hormones do monthly these days. i never used to suffer pms when i was a kid, aside from being tired and a bit weepy. after giving birth, though, things went all outta whack. hard core shit. so, i deal.

 

yeah I know how that is, I had really bad depression before my daughter, and after her it just so so much worse. it is hard to come back from that, the hormones after having an baby really screw with our systems. I am just glad you are being treated for this. It is easy for it to get out of control.

 

OOoo this is about PMs or pmdd, ha, yea ok, im the worlds worst bitch with that, but just deal with it and leave me alone, but i don't have any kids, so i don't know if it gets worst after that....

 

i just call it pms, my doc suggested pmdd. i'm not really sure what the difference is, so long as i'm not biting the heads off people's barking dogs, i suppose i'll go with whatever.

 

My hormones are all over the shop at times, I can be a real bitch.

I read this morning that a woman has created an app for your iphone (well husbands iphone) where they can check when their woman will be due her period - they get sent colour coding messages to warn them about pms

 

dave's onto my schedule better than i am.

 

Mines circled in red on the calendar so my b/f can go stay at his club...

 

I get anxious a lot. It makes me cling to people and join them in doing stupid things.

 

i get mouthier than usual, erratic and easily angered.

 

Ooooooo, do you have that buzzy brain thing? I get a buzzy brain sometimes... I call it that, because there's no other way to explain it. You can't focus, you can't interact, you can just sit there and chew your fingernails and tell yourself "it will pass, it will pass, it will pass..."
And it always does, but it's hell for that day or afternoon or however long it lasts.

 

i DO.

i was staring off into space today while my daughter napped and i thought to myself "this reminds me of being high, but without the dizziness or euphoria."

 

You're posting in the perfect forum for that to happen as I doubt too many will notice.

 

Oh god story of my freaking life!!!:willy_nilly:

 

I hate that when it happens, because my brain never tells me where its been or what it has done. lol

 

i have a bottle of xanax and if things feel like there closing in on me i'll take one of those, helps....

 

This is the generation and the era of meds and "social disorders". This is a crucial time in history. But we're quickly elevating ourselves and leaving this era behind, along with the consumerism and materialism.OP, i really feel like i know perhaps even precisely what you're talking about regarding the head pressure, though that could be a bold statement.But my advice, to everyone out there, is leave the meds behind. But that's just me.Take on your monkey straight on, and raw, and find your true power within.

 

tried going without meds for a long time. people like me are the reason people started making meds, as opposed to taking them to the priest for exorcisms or submitting them for trepanation.

 

Yup, and that is alright until the monkey turns out to be 22 feet high with fangs.

I believe in holistic, meditation and all the healthy that you will ever imagine, I also believe that there is a time and place for medications.

I really do try to not judge as I am not carrying anyones load.

I personally hit a time when without meds for side effects that I had from treatments, I would of gone stark raving mad.

If meds help then they should be used, life is too damn short to be miserable if you do not need to be.
