Emotional Rollercoaster

Another productive but very emotional day. I'm exhausted. My emotions have always been a mystery to me and never cease to be a source of wonder to me...(hubby wonders quite a bit about them too). I've been in near tears for 4 days now...actually either near tears or in tears. It's different than depression I've known before, I feel no need to stay in bed all day...(tho the thought of doing that sounds quite nice on days like these) but the tiniest thing will just make me cry. I realized last night (after getting my feelings hurt by something) that I'd had my feelings hurt by people I loved 4 times in 3 days....I knew, then, that it wasn't those friends, it was ME...being sensitive about things that would have never crossed my mind normally...so, here's my dilema, I totally KNOW that my feelings should not be hurt....that the friends in question totally love me and are just incredible....the problem is, since I'm still so emotional, whenever I think of the specific thing that hurt my feelings...I totally break down and cry all over again. My feelings are still hurt and I know they shouldn't be. Does this sound like menopause? Blah! oxox

Being past menopause I suppose I can give you a little help. But if I were you I'd go online and search for some answer's, then go to the Dr. if this keep's up. If you have any questions email them to me, I don't know if I can help or not but I will be glad to give it a try. Or you could be one crazy lady. LOL I do know one thing for sure, you don't need to feel this way and the fact that you do gives me some concern.

Tracy girl. I am sooooo sorry you are struggling. I wish I was closer and I could help. There are SOOOOOOOOOOO many people in your support system who love you dearly. Never forget that, and never forget you are a wonderful individual who has a heart of gold. We all go through times like this, and you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. Take things as they come, and the next day is a brand new day! I love ya! Stac

Sounds like how I get during PMS time, things that ordinarily wouldn't bother me bother me TREMENDOUSLY! Ugh. BTW love the art with this journal entry! :^)

Hi Tracy. For what it's worth, I have found that my emotions stabilized following actual menopause. (I think you are too young to be thinking it is that.) It makes me wonder if it isnt the flood of hormones (like estrogen) that made me sooo emotional. I used to cry every single day; even TV commercials would set me off. It was just silly. Now I cannot remember the last time I cried. I must say, it is a great relief to leave that behind. Judy
