hi ladies, one day away and have been in MN cold turkey ! actually have had an okay weekend - must be getting better as the peaks and troughs of my moods are flattening out.Typing this with one handas ,my cat has become a surrogate baby and is sleeping in my lap . Had a good life coaching session on friday. Lots about being a control freak and not being able to let go. This week I have to have a "que sera sera" week - is going to be a killer as I out plan and worry and over think EVERYTHING. Sounds like some of you on here are the same as me (Gilly MrsMc?). I would truly love to be zen enough to enjoy the next PG (should AF EVER turn up!!!). When I felt PG last week all the old insecurities and anxieties resurfaced which made me realise that cannot get like that again for my own sanity. All the cramps have virtually gone now though which makes it much easier to chill about it all. DH and I had a long convo today about it all. He thinks we talk enough and I think we do but not about the right stuff. Was a tense few hours after a "I can't deal with anymore stress right now" screaming match. We eventually agreed that PG doesn't have to be as stressful as it has been this time and that money worries won't kick in until summer next year even if get PG in next cycle. Why does it seem like we are talking two different languages - when you finally down to it, you realise you weren't really in disagreement in the first place. I wish I could put one of those darth vader voice changing helmets on and talk in a language that DH understands and visa versa.
MrsDarcy Glad things calming down a bit - I am afraid those symptoms can last a while - mine did but then others have got back to normal quickly - just remember to give yourself a break (and your body) when you need it as mental and physical pain is harder to deal with than just one or the other. My brain played cruel tricks on me all the time and I am only now just starting to feel more sane now that the hormones are less crazy.
Winky I too thought that Chris was writing about bad stuff - I think MC and gwynnies dad dying as was around that time. The lyrics are just too good to be an accident?
alittlebit great that you went to the wedding and had a laugh - I am still not back on the social horse yet - we do go out and have had friends over but I find my patience is low and I want the evening to end before the others do (maybe something to do with needing to put a brave face on all night?). LOL at your DH - maybe he was trying to suggest something ..."oops look how I got back into bed...oh well while we are in this position..."? tee hee
Morninglory Love the name! Makes me LOL - its always a glorious morning in our house even after a vat of red wine - in fact that seems to make things worse (and maybe "yippee" when getting jiggy doesn't feel quite so mechanical and pointless anymore). Hope you are feeling okay - it takes ages to get back to any kind of normal and i was in your shoes a couple of weeks ago - we are now being careful as the thought of being/not being PG was sending me loopy lou.
Lissielou Hi - I always get confused when I hear voices from other threads - hope you are having a good sunday!
MrsMc we heard alot for each of us in your post but how are you doing? Has it all sunk in yet?
herbaceous so pleased you are feeling better too - even small steps are great aren't they? I just need to keep chilled and focus on the good stuff (easier said than done ).
Torres any entries for our new study? We opened a magnum of champagne that we had from our engagement 3 years ago but got told it would have gone off. Was a little bit flat but went down very smoothly. BBQs and pub gardens are my weakness - oh well must enjoy them as may be back on the "No wine for me thanks, I'm on antibiotics " wagon before the summer is out .
Going to shut down and read a trashy novel till bed time. Sending big love to my lovely MNutters xxxx
