All is good, Tiffany. I too wondering if there was something in the air last month. I believe I do have to work to move out of this funk, but I guess I get tired of working on it month after month.

Thanks for the kind words, Loretta. I hope some day to have as many boys as you.

Not really sure if you not talking about it, for knowing you face to face means like if I see you actually face to face or can I comment here because I know you????? I would like to comment.

I have noticed just about every female I know or have talked to in the last 2 or 3 weeks has been having this same issue. Myself, my sister, the lady that does my hair, my friend……… Along with also the tired entry you wrote.

I wish I knew what to say.

Little boys in capes are the coolest

“I find writing a lot easier than talking, especially about the topics of depression, infertility, and weight loss.”

Me too, minus the infertility part, I think I had the opposite problem, perhaps I was over fertile! If only I could take my fertileness and give it to you now that I’m all done with it, I would put it in a box and ship it overnight.

“I spend about two weeks a month feeling disconnected, several days on and off crying, and just being generally pissy. And every month it seems to get a little bit worse.”

This is me too. For awhile my doctor had me taking Estroven, but that didn’t seem to be helping so after about two years of that I stopped taking it.

I hope you find the balance that you need (((Alli)))

@Sarah I agree. It is hard to admit and so much easier to just stay at home and be alone. But it does help knowing there are others as well. Writing about it helps too. Helps me form my thoughts and think about it throughly.

Hey, Alli, I’m sorry you’re feeling like this. Personally, I have a therapist I know and love… She’s a wonder. I find it helpful to talk to someone with a blank slate. I wish you days of joy ahead. You are definitely not alone!

Hang in there Ali.
Depression is a hard thing and I think many more people struggle with it than care to admit - especially in “christian circles” where we are sometimes told to put on a happy face because of our faith. Just know you are not alone, many of us struggle every day with many of the same things.
