I just got rid of mine….it wasn’t helping me anymore….the T and I were not a great match.

Yeah I feel stupid for getting rid of my old therapist. I wonder if she'd take me back as a client. I kind of let it go, and I wonder if she'd see me again, because I know it was actually helping.

Yeah she probably did, she makes me very happy and I have less time to focus on/obsess about my weight because I want to spend a lot of quality time fully present with her

Blue_bird, what type of birth control are you using?

I'm considering it to stop my periods and am looking for one that won't make me sick.

I'm on Xulane birth control patches, you put a new patch on every 7 days, and on the third week you don't wear a patch so you can get your period, then you start the cycle over again with a new patch the following week. I seem to be doing okay on it. I used to be on it many years ago for a long time and I had no issues with it. When I recently restarted after being off it for a few years I had some nausea and spotting but my doctor said that would go away once my body adjusts to it, I restarted it last Sunday and was only nauseous once the other day but that may have just been because I had a migraine. I'm mostly on it to help with severe PMS/possible PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) and to regulate my cycles

Thanks for answering my question.

I've spoken with my doctor about this. My cycle is making me suffer with terrible headaches, that sometimes become migraines, and irritability. Little things seem to set me off which happens for about two weeks every month. Sometimes I get months were I get "psychotic-like symptoms" about a week before I start to bleed.

I want my ferritin level to increase and get rid of the irritability. Not having a monthly period would also be nice.

I'm sorry you're having to deal with all of that, I hope you'll be able to get on something that helps you

Listening to a lot of music. It sounds extra good lately.

Got some cleaning done today, will do the rest tomorrow. Getting on the treadmill tomorrow morning.

Tuesday my care manager comes back from vacation and we can schedule a day for her to come over and help me with doing the job application and resume

My sister is dropping Maybelle off on Thursday
