It was PMS, again

The reason for being depressed was PMS.  Last night I started feeling a little better.  I was able to sleep last night.  I got up and there it was the monthly visitor.  I think the lithiumn increase was also a factor.  I'm not feeling completely back to my usual self.  I'm in that walk on egg shells mode.  I don't want to be depressed for a long time if ever.


I do need to take better care of myself.  I didn't realize how important that is.

I used to have this terribly... I would try and be aware of it sweetie and ask yourself every month if this is about the time that menstruation is do... I found the pill helped a lot with this... Big hug....xo

I used to be on the pill for severe cramps that would make me vomit. It did work and I had much easier periods after that. I stopped the pill when my then husband and I wanted to start a family. This was years before my bp diagnosis. Hugs.

I had horrid cramps with mine and then they started getting closer and closer until they were 12 days long every 10 days. My Dr. was like "Nope, take it out!" Hugs to you my friend!!

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
