hormone attack - 10:43 PM
(filed under 'general')
the last few weeks have been a emotional rollercoaster for me, but i think things are starting to settle down. it wasn't anything going on outside of my own body though .. it was all hormonal.
about three weeks ago, for some reason, my hormones decided to do strange things & i was really, really cranky .. all the time. it was like fierce pms, but worse. poor little smiley got the brunt of it. i guess he picked up on my mood & we sort of played off each other. i was so cranky one night that i even rang up his nanna & poppy & asked them if they could take him for a sleep over that night.
the next day i went to see my chiropractor who also does kinesiology. this man is magic. he fixed a similar problem i had about six months after i'd stopped taking the pill to get pregnant with smiley. perhaps coincidentally, it's been around about six months or so since my period returned. maybe my body has some sort of hormonal timebomb that goes off six months after major hormonal changes.
hellie was visiting me from sydney at the time & came with me to my appointment. twenty minutes later & i walked out of there like a new woman. after we got back & started pottering about the house doing normal things, she said that she could even see the difference in me. hellie's known me for about ten years now & knws me very well. she could see how stressed i was with the horrible mood that is just so not me. once my hormones had been sorted out, the difference was almost physical!
mind you, it seems that it took another couple of weeks before everything settled properly. i started to take some supplements that help with pms & they seemed to only just be keeping on top of the mood. i've been taking them for about a week & a half now & finally, my hormones seem to have some to some sort of happy agreement with my body.
i guess we'll see what happens once i finish the bottle of supplements. let's hope everything's balanced out again, because living like a cranky old cow was terrible. it's not me & i hated it.
after i was feeling better, i apologised to smiley (yet again) for being so cranky & told him that i was all better now. his response: "good!"
