Hormonal

I think it is hormonal. I am pretty crap at life anyhow but today I am feeling full on despair. I'm cold and it's very bleak outside. Seem to have almost completely alienated myself. Not sure I'll ever be able to get a job again. Lonely. Homesick. Useless.

But i think the hormones just top everything off quite nicely and make everything seem insurmountable.

It definitely could be, I have one week a month when I cry! If happy,sad cold, hot, tired, if someones nice to me if someones not nice to me - I cry!! Its always the week after my period!!

Can you mark it on the calendar I dp and people around me know 'its just my tearful week' and leave me to it. Like you I can always find a reason in life for it but I know its really hormonal..Its miserable

Thanks for the replies, the worst of it has lifted now. Hormones really are the pits aren't they? Even knowing the cause doesn't help when in the middle of it-apart from being able to warn people.

glad its on the way out again. I have found that as long as I am aware of it, I make efforts to go with the flow and find I don't extend it because I know it will end if that makes any sense? But sometimes I really think its a long depression again so wallow in misery instead of thinking hormones!!
