Hysteria Is Not Good for You

Filed under: Uncategorized — Dawn @ 9:36 pm

I think that something is seriously up with my hormones. I get PMS with like a major edge. Like the edge of a razor blade edge. I get so upset that I’m pretty much in hysteria. This happens about two weeks before my period. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not getting upset about petty shit. I just don’t have normal reactions. Does anyone understand this? I have an appointment set up with an endocrinologist so that I can have a hormone panel done and I guess I’ll go from there. My theory though is that as my estrogen level in my birth control pills decreases and the progesterine increases, I become irrational, hysterical, and honestly borderline suicidal at times. I don’t think I’d ever act on that, but damn I scare myself sometimes. I have actually sat in the bathroom on the floor and banged my head on the cabinet or the floor and just screamed at the top of my lungs. I haven’t gone this manic in a while, but I did have a little fit of hysterical madness last night. I also take alot of medications that I probably shouldn’t be taking in conjunction with one another. I need to quit lying to my doctors about what I actually take and see if I can get a grip on myself. I tell one doctor that I take this and that and another that I take only this so that they will keep prescribing the drugs that I think I need to survive. And at this point, I probably do need them, both mentally and physically. If I run out of one, I have physical withdrawals. That’s when it’s really ugly. If I time that incorrectly with a PMS time frame, then I have set myself up for complete disaster. Quit taking the pill then, you say? Well, I tried that. Not only was I scared to death of making unplanned ankle biters, but I ended up with an ovarian cyst that ruptured and made me feel like dying. I also had the never ending period from hell and really bad acne. So, I guess I’m going to shell out the money to have the tests done and hope my insurance will reimburse at least a (large) percentage. I also pray, and this sounds really twisted, that there is something wrong with me. I mean, if there isn’t something hormonal going on then I am just plain ass crazy. No need to vote on which you think it may be.

  1. Oh, Sweetie…please, please, please be honest with your doctors. Find ONE doctor to balance out your meds so you can feel better. I have no clue what you are on and why, but I do know what a bad mixture can do. They negate each other and cause side effects that require more meds. Be careful, and I hope you get a handle on this.

    And yes, I hear you on the PMS thingy. There are days I feel like I am bursting out of my skin. I have about 10 years until I begin the journey to M…by then, I hope I’m dead, because if I experience anything like my bio-host did, then someone’s sure to kill me first! ;o)
