But I am sitting here feeding my crazed hormones with a Darrell Lea Milk Chocolate GIANT Speacklea (aka a huge arsed choc freckle...) bawahahaha I said arse AND freckle in the one sentence!!! heee heee ha ha ha ha... Ohh gutter humour, please never leave this little old Dragon, it makes up a huge part of what I am.
Anywho, back to the hormones : recently I've come to realise they are playing a very big role in the roller coaster of my PND / depression. I've been very Jekyll and Hyde like but with enough detachment to get annoyed at seeing the massive swings I'm having and their effects on those around me. So like the mother I am, I gave myself a stern talking to and told myself to go to the bloody Dr's. And would you know it, I was on the money!
Shock horror, after some blood tests the Dr informs me I'm now in a nasty loop where my hormone imbalance is affecting not only my emotions but my sleep and stress levels, my lack or sleep and increased stress affect my adrenal system, which produces cortisol to cope, adrenals become exhausted producing said coping cortisol then fail to produce the correct level of hormones and on and on it goes... Better explained here
And how does all this mean I'm a living joke? Well the Dr in a means to help break this cycle of abuse (lol) has put me back onto the pill. Another post breastfeeding boon! And tonight I caught myself saying to my husband, aside from starting to feel human again, you know what the best part of being back on the pill is? I know what day of the week it is! To which my hubby just cracked up.... thanks!
So Jan 11, 2011 : I give thanks to the modern sciences that brings us the contraceptive pill - for so SO many reasons!
