Oh, I forgot to talk about body distortion. This was something, I was more in tune with, back when I was placed on Celexa back in 2009. After a couple of months, of being on an AD, and really paying attention to my PMS symptoms, I was able to discover, how very real body distortion was for me.

And because body distortion can be very real for me, when I have PMS, I could finally see why I felt anxiety and depressive symptoms, this time of the month.

Even this month, I am 'feeling' a little bloated, but in the past two weeks, at the dr's office, I have gone down 1 entire pound!! Go figure, right?! I feel the distortion of my body, feel frumpy and everything, BUT...honestly, I LOST 1lb!! (that's .4536kg) I am not overweight, I am at a happy pant size, but wow, still, I have body distortion, and I just use my scale, to remind myself that it is not reality!!

Forgot to add that, to my previous post. It was the biggest *aha* moment for me, back then!!

Another thing, too, when married, I used to complain that I felt like a piece of myself was dying, at every period. Reality was, he was just being plain rude to me, as though it was my fault for mother's nature theme?! Because, then, when I was not longer with him, those feelings went away!! Hmmmm....

Hope you feel better, got to take care of you, when you aren't feeling quite your normal self!! Everything else, will fall into place, when you do! *hug*
