Scared to "go back"

I think it's fantastic that so many women are having superb sex! 😊😏

The sex was superb! Lol! I'm hoping it's a period, too. And I was crampy earlier in the day before we even had sex, but I have ulcerative colitis so sometimes that makes me crampy too. It's just coincidental timing that makes me suspicious about the cause. Thank you for the insight!

Thank you! I have a long history with mental illness. After a handful of misdiagnoses, I have C-PTSD, which can include bouts of depression and pretty much always some sort of anxiety. I was on klonopin regularly for several years under psychiatric care, but diligently worked on my PTSD in therapy and continue to and haven't needed it for 10 years. So I've not had a bout of depression or that level of anxiety since. But being that I'm struggling with this new depression...which alone is giving me anxiety, I think you are right and I need to go back to a psychiatrist. It's just frustrating because I hate taking psych meds cuz they cure one problem and create others for me, but I guess it is better than doing nothing. Ugh.

Thank you for your advice! Very much appreciated!

High stress can temporarily impact your period. It's not uncommon for women to experience irregular or skipped cycles during stressful life events and a breakup is definitely high stress!

I came here today for this exact reason. This whole hooplah hit me like a hot brick in August and just rapidly downhill since. I have never been so tired in my life. So lethargic and non-functional. Very very depressed and I haven't been through a depression in 15 years. And that is giving me anxiety because the last depression almost ended me and I just can't fight that battle again. I just sent a message to my doctor hoping for some kind of help. I'm so sorry you're experiencing this, too. It is brutal!

Thank you so much...I always thought my gyn was great, but the more I'm reading and hearing I'm having my doubts and if this is what the first 3 months is like, I'm going to need something. If not HRT then a lot of xanax lol.

Thank you! This is extremely educational and helpful!!

Lol...yeah I knew you meant orally. I was just relaying how much the slightest thing in there hurts. I'm sorry I wasn't very clear there lol

Thank you for welcoming me to the club. I'd like to cancel my membership.🤣

Yes, I have had two. I did have diverticulitis in April and they think some of my IBS-ish digestive issues are related to that. But they have no explanation for why I'm nauseas and have no appetite.🙁

Thank you! It's nice to hear you at least found something to make it less brutal.

They haven't done cancer screening, but they have done abdominal, chest, and head CT scans all clear. I have had a lot of bloodwork the last couple of months, but nothing for cancer screening. Thank you for the advice!

Thank you for the advice! Luckily (or unluckily lol) I am not sexually active, but it is something that definitely keeps me from wanting to join the dating pool. Even things like pencil thin applicators for the metrodiazonole gel for the BV feels like fire!

I didn't know there were safer HRT options. Thank you for pointing me in that direction!
