Forgive me. I feel like a bratty child. But I don't understand why this is happening. I know my anxiety is coming about from my hormones. It used to be very low level cyclical, can we call it normal? It popped
up for a day around ovulation. In fact, that was how I knew where I was in my cycle. I would feel that little flip-flop in my brain and have this weird feeling for a day or two, then life as normal. I actually loved the PMS days. The physical PMS wasn't too bothersome, and I was powerful those last couple days before my period. I scheduled important meetings by it. I used it to my advantage.
How am I supposed to override my hormones and put this to rest? All the meditation, relaxation, mindfulness in the world can't override what is physically happening to me. I'm incredibly mindful. I'd feel better if I had a little less mindfulness (I'm kidding, but not). ADs seem like the obvious easiest fix, but I don't want to do them. I want my hormones to step in line. I need to sort how to work with this just as I did my cycle when I had a cycle, but it's like I'm stuck on that one or two bad days of the month all the time now.
I'm sorry. I needed to vent. I should probably journal, but you ladies are so good with picking up clues and comparing with your experiences.
