Thank you. More food for thought.

I definitely have noticed a pattern, in that it's every two weeks I get a bad dip. I only get an upswing like this maybe once every month, or two months, the other times I recover from the horrendous bad in a more subdued way. And the dips are certainly getting worse, which I had put down to thawing out courtesy of therapy and actually feeling more emotions.

I had shrugged off the regularity of the two week pattern as hormonal and being more susceptible to getting upset mid-cycle and with pms, which could be a factor I'm sure.
