I am depressed. For women only

I feel like crap about myself this week. Of course its that time of month and I know that my emotions are out of control... I stayed home from work today. My back hurt, cramps, dizzy spells, all the normal stuff that comes every month. Then I went to the drugstore in search for some help for my sunken eyes, dark circles, and supposed bad hair. I came home with stuff I probably did not need and probably won't use... a waste of good money. I think my hair (on my head) is thinning. Not sure about that... but then where Dr. H took me off spironolactone due to it possibly causing dehydration, which I took the medicine for UFH (unwanted facial hair)... now my hair (on my face) has sprouted out like I was going to be the next attraction at the circus... aka bearded lady. At least today was the appt. with the aesthetician who does my laser hair removal. Well I hope this has been a funny story cause tomorrow when I wake up, it should all be a bad fuzzy blur and I will wish to goodness that I could take back all the hair products and creamy eye shadows that I purchased today... and the monthly blahs will be gone until next month.

oh hon, you just need a big ole hug! Those monthly things are killer. what are your big plans for the weekend? maybe we can do a coffee run!

Ooh I wanna come too! Can I PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would love some new protein ideas and I lu-u-u-u-uv coffee!

That is the one thing I don't miss about being older! Linda Tidwell

I dont have plans for the weekend... yes a good old coffee run sounds like heaven on earth to me! Email me a time and we can do it. Saturday is a great time. Although so is Friday evening after work. Let me know.

Hey lady...how about we do our protein weekend we talked about this weekend? Paula...whadya think?

Hi Melinda, Big HUGS being sent your way. I think you look great. Ellen

Melinda, I know how you feel! I have completely felt like crap for the past week and a half. I've had no motivation to do anything whatsoeverand I haven't done anything other than get some exercise in. My eating choices have been far from par though I still get in the necessary protein...because I feel like crap, I don't care. I haven't worn makeup or "dressed up" in weeks..I wear jeans and a sweatshirt wherever I go and my sweatshirts are all from my pre-op days so they're REALLY baggy....thankfully I have a job where I can be as casual as I please. This past weekend, I stayed in pajamas. I'm thinking it is the weather....the winter blues. I thought if I at least exercised, I would feel better. But, it hasn't worked... instead I feel even more tired. Ahh...what's a girl to do!?!? Hey, if you haven't opened the stuff you bought, I'm sure you can take them back! Hope you're feeling better today April

The culprit... seems as if it will never go away... LEXAPRO! That demonic Lexapro! I used to take it for PMDD, severe PMS. Well this is the first month I've had my period since going off Lexapro. Pray, pray pray I don't have to go on it again... but it might be a possibility. Today at work I was getting frustrated, and even mad and just plain wanted to be left alone... thinking
