Does your T knows that you have this ongoing pattern ? I’m not sure how often you see your T but is it possible to maybe switch appts to more stable times of the month so you can get a more productive session ?
I’m glad you got out with a friend. Hey ! It just feels good every once in a while to buy a new outfit  ? |
Thanks Christina for the reply.
It's been awhile since I've had a full hormone work-up. I have had thyroid tested several times in the past including in the past year or 2, and it's always been okay, but other hormones I haven't had tested for several years. It's been on my mind to get a work-up just to be sure. I think that would be a good convo to have with my psychiatrist. My T does know I have this pattern, but I was thinking this is a convo to have in therapy tomorrow about switching around my appointments to a better time of the month. I end up only seeing her every 3 weeks or so based on our schedules, and it's just been falling at a bad time of month the past 3 or 4 months. Yes, it does feel good to have a new outfit every once in a while.
