I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I need to go to campus and get stuff done. I have a list and everything. And this stuff really does have to get done today. And my ankle hurts, and I don't wanna.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

sumi, that's a rotten thing for them to do. Much ~ma for quickly finding a better place that appreciates you.

After almost two weeks of struggling with uncontrollable anxiety and fatigue and headaches, I started feeling better yesterday, and today, I feel fine. If things go the way they usually do, I should get three days of feeling pretty good before the crash back into fatigue and anxiety. There's no external reason for this that I can find. The doctors tell me there's nothing wrong with me, so I guess it's fucked-up hormones. It's been like this for years. It was better when I had the Mirena, though, so I'm getting that hardware reinstalled asap. I'm just sick of trying to pack all my living into three days a month.

Our wings are not tired.

May the Mirena work its magic. Hormones are meany heads.

Yeah they are. I'll be glad when menopause is over and I get my personality back. I think I've been in perimenopause for about ten years, which is just ridiculous. Let it go, body!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm guessing that part of the reason I was so overwrought yesterday was because of hormones. It's unusual for me, but the timing is definitely right.

I asked my doctor if there any tests to be run because my depression didn't come back until my period came back post baby, and she didn't seem to think there was anything that could be done about that. Also, I apparently can't have 2 cups of tea while adjusting to new meds. I'm so shaky right now.

I suggest getting the Mirena if you can. If I understand correctly, it makes your body think you're a little bit pregnant.

Part of my anxiety for a couple days there was definitely too much caffeine. I shouldn't have started drinking soda again, I forgot to account for the extra caffeine.

In that case, no. My pregnancy hormones were so much worse.

Oh yikes. No, then. Alas, the Mirena is the only way I know of to control the raging tide of hormones.

Pregnancy was so bad depression wise I sometimes wonder how I got through it.
