Tomorrows another day......hopefully I'll feel better xxx

I still don't understand the nauseous feeling every morning, hate it!   

Mandz, I read your post on going shopping, I can sooooooooo relate to it, about a month ago I had to do a largish shop and left work at 12.30 for the job. I found myself wandering the aisles at my leisure and thought I was ok until I couldn't find the tub of Smash.... really got angry then frustrated, then my knees went weak and I was about to collapse in the aisle with devastation and finally composed myself and wiped the tears and went to the checkout to pay, only to read the time on the receipt was 3pm!!!! I have NO idea what the had happened and when I told my daughter (aged 20) she laughed at me

I finally made another GP appointment with another lady doctor who's slightly older then me for a second opinion and will hopefully be more sympathetic than the one in her early 30's i've seen who hasn't given me anything to cope with everyday life, just Femoston 2/10mg which I cant start till my next period which is still weeks away and then who knows how long it will take to kick in!

In hope and hanging in there!

It has to be hormone related I think because hormones cause morning sickness in pregnancy.

Not picking up today, still feeling low..... Now I've started writing this the tears have started!!!

I was doing so well ..... I'm so disappointed in myself 😥

HORMONES! be kind to yourself!

The nausea can be due to the gut being hungry.  Eating every 3 hours can ease symptoms.

Oh Mandz don't be dissapointed, we are all doing this crazy dance and it isn't our fault..  be gentle with yourself

It happens. Hormones fluctuate and we just have to go with them sometimes. I've been absolutely rubbish this last few days and I am blaming having a bleed. One day our bodies will get used to not being pumped with oestrogen but until then I think we just have to be kind to ourselves and get enough rest and good nutrition to support our bodies through this. Xx

[Mandz]

Thank u ladies

I feel so selfish being so miserable ..... I've really tried so hard to get better

I don't think we can help it Mandz, it isn't about trying hard because that makes us feel like failure on days we can't manage it.  You can only ever do your best with what you have on any given day and if you can't manage it then be kind to yourself and do what you can.  You will have days when you can manage better and days when you cannot.  all you need to do is stop trying so hard and be gentle with yourself.  Take reassurance from the little things you can manage

[CLKD]

Stop feeling selfish, ditch the guilt !!!! this is The Change of Life: so delegate? On your better days don't do too much because you will burn of any energy gained.  It ain't going to alter any time soon so accommodating how you feel and what you are able to tackle will become 'normal'  . 

[babyjane]

CLKD is right, learn to pace yourself so you preserve energy on your better days so you feel better able to cope on your not so good days

(note to self - practice what you preach!  )

[Mandz]

Awwww sparkle

I made myself a cuppa and I caught my hand on door and some spilt out, you'd think the world had stopped ... I just got myself in a tizz....ridiculous!

Think my mates are probably getting fed up of me now xxx

[CLKD]

There aren't mates then!

[Mandz]

I don't think it's that CLKD, it must be draining on them all xx
