Women Only, perimenopause?

Ha ha ha! I've become accustomed to the couch- it's closer to the kids' rooms so I can hear when they get up and what not else. You seem to be calmer and not so flustered as in the beginning. Congrats on getting as far as you are! My husband thought if he let me get chickens it would give me something to do. I suppose my moods were due to my last child going to school and I felt not needed. Then I got chickens! There are many times hubby has said build a coop to put him in since chickens have stolen my heart. Lol It may seem crazy but I have cried to my chickens and i talk to them while tending the coops or just petting them. Even threatening the protective roo with becoming dinner redirects hurt feelings and thoughts no one else seems to understand. Focus and talking out loud. Okay, maybe not out loud too much but if your animals are around it isn't as though you're talking to yourself positive thinking has already changed your perspective- great job

It is not without it bumps but I don't feel about to crawl out of my skin. Granted i am making sure I am super hydrated, taking supplements, did the progesterone cream and I found a new supplement for stress. Along with a bit of aromatherapy I seem to be more under control. Still lots of crying and I am struggling but it bearable. I am hoping as I implement more excercise and more calmness into the house then I will feel better. I hate not feeling like myself. I hate not being interested in anything or like I am coming out of my skin. I really hate feeling so angry and lost. So it is better and I hope it will get more so as time goes on.

Holy Acid batman, what in the who ha is going on. Ok so I noticed this last month but blamed it on what I was eating ( which was little to nothing but still) but its come up again this month at the same time. btw have i mentioned that a health journal is really invaluable. yea it is. No progesterone yesterday or today but my mood and such still feel pretty stable. Again still bumpy but I am not jumping out a window or killing anyone so I think thats progress. The acid is horrid though. ACV and tagamet are only helping a little. Think I am going to get some aloe juice too. Not sure if my doctor will want to bother checking it out and not sure yet I want to see her. According to the journal it only happens once a month for a few days and then no problems until the next month.

I think my body hates me. Please tell me someone else thought that.
