Can't Enjoy The Things I Used To Do

yes!  it improved for a while, thought I was returning to normal and was able to watch and read everything again.  But it's back.  Even documentaries with anything just a bit dark, (for want of a better word) or news of accidents for illnesses makes me anxious.  This comes and goes.  Wish these hormones would settle once and for all, it shakes the very bones of you. !

I can't enjoy anything anymore. I let myself go, my house is,not as tidy, not organized anymore, and I hate this!

I notice this happening from time to time.its not about enjoyment but i cannot handle it on the emotional level.

Oh yes I had this. I couldn't watch anything unless it was a funny programme or interesting things. I would start panicking when something dark came on x

Yes! I can easily cry! I feel stupid sometime but at least you recognize it. I stay away from really sad stuff. 

Yeagh I'm the same can't watch certain programmes, get easily startled, hate loud noises, bright or flashing lights, certain motion of the cameras need to close my eyes

Hubby gets frustrated cos I freak out when he's watching the Grand Prix, I can't stand the fast movement of the cars racing and he had to watch it when I'm not in the room...id never have believed this was possible all of these symptoms and sensations up until last year when my life totally changed over night

I hope we can all get through this and come out the other end into the sunshine feeling stronger and ready to start the next chapter of our lives

Best wishes to all if you lovely ladies xx

Yes its like your emotions are heightened. I stress really easily over trivial things. I anger easily and cry over sad ads on tv. And it can happen suddenly out of the blue. I will be coasting along feeling fine then wham....meltdown. My husband tells me to calm down which makes me angrier.

He notices it more than me because every now and then he tells me the old Janine is back. Not that often atm though lol

I still do anything sad or violent I get anxiety .

All I watch now is tvland but skip the commercials. No fb. Too risky I might scroll past something sad.

Hi Maria, I am the same way. I really cant hear about anything negative. I was watching Christmas movies in July but now they dont have them on right now. I watch alot of comedy and old reruns of Andy Griffith and I love Lucy. I hope that we all get this through this real soon. Hope you have a great day

Yes . I am 41 and I can't watch, scary or SAS movies. I can't even watch happy ones because they all make me cry. Its just our hormones due to Peri. Now I just watch court shows and talk shows ..
