Hormones suck. It is such a drama to deal with them. I mean... they get me all irrational with my emotions. I was driving home today holding back tears and just telling myself "You're almost home. You can sit in your recliner and eat ice cream and it'll be okay." And the stuff I was thinking about was all manufactured... stuff my brain conjured up to feed it's stupid hormone driven needs.
I'm thankful I can usually recognize the hormonal stuff, though. I warned my roommate that I had been in a low-grade amount of pain all day (stupid abductor muscle pull) ,and I was really emotional due to hormones. I asked him to please avoid pushing any of my buttons. LOL. I find it's good to give advanced warning to those close to you when you're hormonal... then any weird behavior they can understand. I held it together pretty well actually. And now, almost bedtime, my hormones have finally chilled out.
It's my age. It's one of those early pre-menopausal things that happen. Your hormones go out of whack. Thankfully my doctor changed me to a different birth control that helps an incredible amount. The one I was on before... OMG! I missed work one day because I laid on my floor crying uncontrollably... for no reason whatsoever. That was a bad mix of hormones. And that's when I went to my doctor and said "HELP!" Now it's just "oh, I'm hormonal today... it'll pass." Not so bad. I'm not really looking forward to menopause, though, when everything really goes nuts.
It really is kind of weird being able to work out what's hormone related sadness/moodiness and what's depression related. This morning I had a really hard time getting out of bed. That seemed depression related (and I hate my job related). The rest of the day's moods I could say "hormones."
