I know I haven't posted at all recently. And I left rather rudely not saying bye and all. But I felt at the time I had too.

Things happen ya know. Things that were happening in my life and on the board were too much. I was working with Jenny and Judy to help make www.girlsgotdeals.com just as good as the site that it originated from and something happened on the way.

About 2 or 3 weeks ago, my mood changed. It probably started a little before then... looking back. My kids and husband could do nothing right, my husband would say something to me that was trivial and I would break down and cry like I had been beat. I would change moods in a matter of milliseconds. The month before, I locked myself in my bedroom in the dark and stayed there for hours only to come out and belittle Donnie for not doing something little right. I beat up my sewing machine because the thread would break (tension on the thread was wrong but you couldn't tell me that).

As for what happened that you saw, the bra thing, I don't care. Flat out. Talk about it all you want. Heck, I have talked about a lot worse in the chat room with a few people. I think my intentions at the time was to protect Welfare. I don't know why I needed to do that. She has proved she can protect herself millions of times over. It got out of hand and out of proportion and I know most of the blame on that is on me. I am sorry.

And for the other blow up I had, well, I am standing behind that one. A wonderful thread was started with beautiful pictures of America. Burning an American flag isn't beautiful. I might have been harsh, but I was fed up. Fed up with life and myself.


I went to the doctor yesterday. I have been diagnosed with severe PMDD. ( www.pmdd.com ) I am on medication ( Sarafem ) during that time to help me maintain my moodswings and they changed the bc pill they prescribed me when I lost my baby in June. We are going to try this out for a few months to see what happens.

I might pop in and out of here for a little bit until I get "normal" again. Judy, Jenny, you guys are wonderful! Thanks for being there.

Till then...

don't give up... and don't let anyone make you feel like a freak for being on mood-altering drugs. three months is not enough time to get things back to normal after a pregnancy or miscarriage... sometimes things go haywire and just need a little tweak to get back to normal. and if the serafem doesn't work, try a different pill or a different doctor.

good luck, best wishes, and hope to see a lot more of you soon.

and no more name changes! i'm slow as it is, and keeping track of y'all womenfolk is starting to give me a headache... :P

hey chrissy...good luck with everything. i've encountered a few people with PMDD...what can i say i was psych major and we did a case study on it...anyway, stick to the meds and talk to a counselor if you're so inclined (it's amazing how meds + counseling effect one's outcome). i must say, it's a disorder that can be controlled and doesn't have to be a negative influence on your life.

hope you're feeling better...keep ya head up ;)

Not to make light of it, but the medicine seems to be working. It takes more than milliseconds to write what you did here. I don't see a moodswing in the words at all. :)

Anyways.. I hope you overcome it if that is possible. The best thing for you to do right now is make yourself comfortable mentally and physicaly. Do what you must to make that happen.

Goodluck.

Thanks guys (and gals).

It's not like I am nuts all the time, just some of the time. :P It just came to a head in the past month where I needed to do something about it.

I will be better about watching myself and I am sure someone will remind me to take my meds if I get out of line :)

It almost feels like I woke up from a bad dream where I was this total dark soul...

But, again, thanks ;)
