Am feelig abit out of sorts at the moment. I've been looking through posts and can't seem to find the enthusiasm to write anything. The ones that do spark my interest, well I think I would be far too opinionated and certainly not thanked for my response!
If I hadn't had a coil fitted for the last 3 years and have already taken a test that came up negative I would think I was pregnant! My boobs are swollen and sore, my whole body aches, I can't stop peeing, keep going hot and cold.... and to top it all off I have a blimin coldsore on my top lip thats making it look like I had botox that has seriously gone wrong!!! And as for the mood swings....!! One minute I'm happy then I'm shouting for no real reason. I'm so up and down its unreal.
I do suffer with anxiety based depression but this is something else! One minute I want to go and kill some randomn stranger and the next I love everyone!!! Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! If God is real then he's certainly having great fun at my expense yanking my strings! He'd better watch out when my time is up..... I'll yank his for sure!!!
Ok I would love to say having a rant has made me feel even slightly better! But that would be a lie!!!
I apologise for my insane ravings!!! Hopefully soon I will feel better, or at least know the cause of it!!!!

Sorry to hear you are feeling out of sorts. I am having a funny turn myself today but I know what is behind it, it's that time of the month so mood swings are usual. I warned my husband this morning that he would not be able to do or say anything right today, and that when I snapped his head off he would not have to snap back, because I'm not doing it on purpose.
I have had some chocolate and am waiting for the effects to kick in. I have run a nice hot bath, and have a book lined up next to my bed. I am just going to ride out the rest of the evening.
I hope you are feeling better soon. 1 person likes this

Well my partner would say she knows just how you feel and we are both thankful that those days are behind her. 
This is an old discussion of yours of course mummyofthree and your username alone indicated that you are probably entitled to have one of those days from time to time. Too bad men cannot use the same excuse because if I am feeling"out of sorts" generally I am just called a grumpy old man. 
Hopefully it didn't take you long to get over your off day and since that time you have not had any/many more of them. You could always do what my partner did when one of them came upon her and that was make ME see that our children, regardless of their age, didn't get into any trouble. On the other hand when our daughters started to go through the same thing, and sometimes several of them on the same day, then our sons and I quickly found we had to be elsewhere.

Thanks for your kind words. I suffer from anxiety based depression. And have since found a medication that seems to stop those all time lows. I still have my bad days but no where near as bad as before.

Pleased to read that you have found a medication that suits you mummyofthree and that is works for you. My favourite brother suffers from post traumatic stress disorder and for many years it "controlled" his life. He too is on medication but the condition does not disappear so will be taking meds for the rest of his life.
After all these years his wife as well as his treating medical specialist know the triggers which set the depression and downward spiral going. Because of that they can often get him back on level ground before he goes too far down and for that everyone is so thankful.
So, one little step forward at a time. Sometimes you can even 'mark time' but not for too long and backward steps are banned.
