#hormone imbalance

I’m having a really hard time dealing with my hormones. I’ve been on the pill for over 10 years but over the past month my hormones and period went haywire so I had to change. It was significantly affecting me psychologically as well as physically. I saw the GP yesterday and started a new pill. I’m very sensitive to medication and although my morning was absolutely ace, right now I feel like I’m about to cry, breathing is hard emotionally and I feel overwhelmingly tired. What makes this harder is that I’m trying to keep this largely from my husband as not to antagonise his depression, and the person I usually bounce things off and confide in is having her own issues. My mum is helpful but is having a hard day herself, so I needed to let it out somewhere.

I need to accept that in a couple of weeks, my hormones will be better again, they will become more manageable. I’m just responding poorly because I’m super vigilante about my health and any changes. I need to accept that this is how I feel right now and it will pass. But oh, it is hard…
