Emotional chaos?

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

It could also be related to the short daylight syndrome.
Just know that tears and crying are actually good for you in that they help you release inner sadness and uncertainties. You know how we always feel better after a good cry? So when you feel teary, do let yourself have a good cry, it will make you feel better.
Also- not sure if this might apply or not (!) but when I was pregnant, I was very tearful for little reason during my first 3 months, both times. After the first trimester, it always went away. That shows that it might also be hormone related.
Sleep is also good.
Feel better....

I don't have much to add, but I am sending some of those butterflies right back over to you.

Could also be a symptom of PMS. Your diet is changing, which is affecting your body's balance in a big way... and your hormones, too.
When I get PMS, I tend to get weepy instead of bee-atchy. But my body's reaction to my cycle has also changed over the years, starting from my early thirties.

Maybe you should hang on to a few of those butterflies!!!

Just wanted to post a note of cheer...you sound like you could use some! Hang in there...

Hope you are feeling at peace soon!!!


***from what I recall...aren't you still somewhat new in your town? That can take a toll too on a few emotions. Pile all what you have dealt with lately...go in there and show that kick-bag what you've got...then give it a cry! I don't know...just trying to give you some ideas...I will leave you with a hug...

Awwwwwwwwwww, you girls are the best! Of course now I'm holding back tears of gratitude while I sit at my desk! hahaha

Thank you! Your hugs and butterflies are greatly appreciated!

Yes, I plan to workout using the heavy bag tonight, and will cry if I want to. Just got to make it through another work day....

And yes, new town, new job, new boss just started last week, DH has a new job, new diet, new disease, some new acquaintances, but you guys are the best friends I've got at the moment! Hmmmm should I call it a new job? Today is my one year anniversary! Ah, but it's one of those jobs that changes constantly, and that I had no real training or even orientation for.

Alrighty, back to work I go.

Hugs and butterflies (to all of you and to myself, too)

Hey LBTC,
Nothing much to add, but sending you lot's of happy, joyful vibes
You've had a crazy year, take advantage of this emotional release. Let it help heal you.

We're here for you!

[LBTC]

Oh, ladies, thank you so much for your positive vibes and all those butterflies! Tonight I used the combinations that my former kickboxing instructor emailed to me, and got super sweaty using the heavy bag with DH holding the bag and grinning away. He loves how hard I hit it and how sweaty I get! heehee

Other stresses seem to be reducing, too. DH has a new new job, with a plumber that has to be easier to work for than the last guy, because a sleep deprived lion would be easier to work for. He starts tomorrow.

And the mortgage lady phoned back and she thinks that we will be able to remortgage the rental house so that we can buy out SIL so she doesn't have to sue us and we don't have to sell the investment before we want to. That would be nice.

And my new boss, well, at least I know I have to babysit him constantly. Not my favourite position to be in, but at least he's pretty kind about his scatter brained ness. I think I can get used to.

And I took way more evening primrose oil today. That might have helped.

And then there were all those butterflies, everytime I looked there was another message of support, of compassion, of positive thoughts, and encouragement, that I just can't help being happier.

If I cry tonight, it will be tears of gratitude. Again! Thank you thank you thank you!

Hugs and tons of happy colourful butterflies!

Seconding the aforementioned hormonal and dietary mayhem suggestions as above. It's certainly possible that one of your old foods was doping you up on serotonin (a lot of carbs do this). Also, is it possible you're going through something analogous to a herxheimer reaction?

If you're losing weight due to this new diet, bear in mind that many of the toxins in the human body are stored in fat. (Fat is also estrogenic, btw.) When a large amount of fat is being broken down, a lot of these molecules are getting released into your body to be processed and elimited.

Whatever you're going through, I just want you to know that you're loved and supported and when you break through to the other side you will feel so much better.

Thank you for your support! I had to look up that Herx thing. Apparently it actually applies to antibiotic treatment of certain illnesses, and I'm not on antibiotics; and it only mentions physical symptoms, not emotional ones. It's all connected, though, so, yes, I am hoping it's part of the healing process!

As for losing weight - I wish! The scale budges maybe 1/2 pound a week. That's certainly not dramatic, so I doubt this is a bunch of fat cells releasing their toxins, at least not specifically....

I may be starved for endorphins for one thing. Most days it's soo difficult to do anything more than walk the dogs, but tonight I did a kickboxing routine and feel so much better. Riding the bike on the trainer on Friday really didn't help much- it actually made me feel worse....so there you go. I guess it's got to be strenuous! heehee

Hugs and butterflies,

LB: I can't add much, but from personal experience, when my mother was diagnosed with celiac, part of the initial therapy included antidepressants. I suppose the body goes through some form of detox...but I don't really know.

Plus, I agree with Lisa...This is the time for seasonal affective disorder from light deprevation and you're in a tough part of the world for winter light. I know that when we first moved to Indiana, I was nearly suicidal (for no reason ) in Jan/Feb...but office window was north facing...once I fixed that, I never had the problem again regardless of the season.

What you're feeling is real, I encourage you to hang in there
