Why all the negative thoughts? I feel so poorly at the moment . I do try to stay positive and continue as normally as possible . I have tried to talk to my family and explain how I'm feeling but all I get is " everyone goes through it ,you just have to get on with it "! The past few days have been extreme . Very low , crying ,such awful thoughts I'm almost believing there real. I want to sleep all the time in hope when I wake up I will feel like me again! I feel like I'm in another body ,screaming to get out . Without this forum I feel I would go crazy and I thank everyone of you for sharing ,this has really helped me as I'm sure it has a lot of ladies.

I only hope there will be more awareness and help to how this changes your life and the struggle we all can go through .

    Yes.. it is scary because we know this isn't us.  I wonder why I'm so tired all the time or why my words are mixed up. Why can't I remember why I walked into a room for. My self confidence is down  the tubes, I'm in the 'duh' mode.  Every few months, I feel weak and dizzy..  Last year I had my blood work done twice and each time it's normal.  So this must be hormones..  I try to be kind to myself and if I need extra rest I make sure to get it!   Make sure your drinking enough water, eating healthy and exercising some.. 'They' say it gets better so that is something to look forward too
