What's wrong with me............sigh

New profile update.....feeling sad when I should be happy. Tami

Tami I read your profile entry for today and I have to say that is me to a T when I am about 1 or 2 days before AF visits. Weird how our hormones can just take control of us like that. I even warned hubby when I got married that I turned into Dr. Jekel 2 days before my period and to just ignore me for those days. I swear it is the worst - you hate everything, want to be alone, the smallest things annoy the **** out of you, etc. I know exactly what you are describing. I really really hope that those feelings go away soon for you - I hate feeling that way too. ((hugs)) Kia 5'9" 284/192/155

I'll give you a piece of advise that was given to me about where you are in your weight loss journey. YOU'RE NORMAL. What's happening is that your body is releasing hormones that it's used to having stored in the fat cells that have been there. Now that the fat is gone the hormones are only released through our monthly cycle so the emotional way you're feeling is a natural reaction. I thought I hated the whole world about a week before my cycle......now taht things have slowed down for me my hormone level seems to be more of the "normal" range for what I think is "normal PMS symptoms". This may seem easier said than done - but slow down....take a DEEP breath (in through the nose exhale through the mouth) - take a FEW of them - and things will seem better in a few minutes. I hope things get a bit better for you soon. Dee Dee

Hi, Tami, I really understand about feeling sad when you should be happy. I have always wanted to say "I'm too blessed to be depressed." I am, but the blue**** and I know the Lord loves me anyway. It took five years of really trying for us to have a baby. I finally got pregnant the same month that my hubby became a Christian. I had a fertility prescription in my purse. It was in the Lord's time. I remember being hurt every time someone else got pregnant, or whenever I saw a little one. The desire was so strong. It was really tough!!! This was my promise verse that I prayed: Ps 37:4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. (NIV) I truly believe that if you put your trust in Him, He is faithful to give you your heart's desire OR he will change your heart. The biggest part is taking it to Him. When you're in the Lord's will, there is a peace that comes even when you are blue. It's great to know that I don't have to be in dispair alone. The cool part about being emotional is that we tend to love easily too. Yay to advantages!!! Oh yeah, this also does not mean you get what you ask for...it's what He wants for me, and that's best anyway. Hugs, Becky I know my answer was a different take. I completely agree with Kia and Dee Dee. The pregnancy thing just spoke to my heart. Forgive the sermon. Preacher's daughter here...I can't help myself sometimes.
