Okay, if you’ve followed my blog long enough, you know about my anxiety. If you haven’t followed long enough, just click the “anxiety” tag in the category box.
So, for future reference, had a mild anxiety attack last night and the sensations leading up to one this evening. According to mycycle.com, I am supposed to start my period by saturday.
that is all

For my own record…. I’m going to start keeping up with anxiety symptoms again… today is 2 days before my “expected ovulation” and I just got the big old weird wavy sensation in my head again.
Yesterday I had an anxiety attack that was fairly constant from mid-afternoon until I went to bed last night. I woke up this morning and guess who had arrived overnight…. that’s right. TOM…. 10 days late!!!!!!
Today is day 3 of the cleanse. I’ve noticed that I have been pooing more. *yummy I know* My poo isn’t runny or anything, but it’s certainly a lot more loose than norma. That’s right… you go body…clean out those toxins!!! Bad week for doing a cleanse when TOM is here though. I want to eat anything sweet that I can get my hands on. I know I’m supposed to be eating REALLY clean while on the cleanse - so bananas and apples have to be my friend. :D
The first 3 days of the cleanse, I’m supposed to take 1 pill in the AM (on an empty stomach) and 1 pill in the PM (on an empty stomach). Starting day 4 (which is tomorrow), I take 2 pills of a morning and 2 pills at night. Upping the anty, I guess. Can’t wait to see what results THAT yields.
That’s all for now. Glad that TOM showed up (I’m chalking it up to increased intensity in the workouts) .
Til tomorrow

I started the internal cleanse yesterday. So far, I don’t feel any different though I have had 2 BM’s this morning already (I normally have 2/day if I’m lucky!). I feel just the slightest bit dizzy right now though - I don’t know if I’d even call it dizzy… perhaps my more like my brain feels really fuzzy / a little bit lightheaded. Don’t know if it’s the cleanse, or the fact that I have yet to start my period. I’ve read that it could be from the cleanse because the toxins are making their way into the bloodstream…. about my period…I’m not pregnant… took 4 tests…lol. I’m over a week late though - this has never happened in my lifetime. My trainer seems to think it could be because of the intense amount of working out we’ve been doing the past month. Couple that with any stress from the past month…it’d be enough to throw someones hormones/cycles off. I’d still like to go to a doctor, though….and just rule out anything else that may be happening. Me and my hypochonidriac self… I’d diagnose myself with testicular cancer if they’d let me. haha! :D
We get to go down to my parents this weekend. I’m excited. My brothers and their wives and kids will be there. Along with my aunt, a couple cousins and more kids. Plan to have a big BBQ / Easter Egg hunt…. yay!!!! I love going to my parents. It’s like a mini-vacay away from the crazies here. 
That’s all for now. I’ll write more later.

Today is Jan 20. My next TOM visit is predicted for Jan 25. With the way my last cycles have been going (Sept. was a 26 day cycle, Oct. was a 29 day, Nov. 26 day, Dec. 29 day…. this month could likely be a 26 day cycle, meaning I’d start my period in the next day or two) Today at work, I started feeling those same symptoms. Fuzzy/light headed…. feeling like I’m not 100% there, almost out of body…. like I was going through motions but didn’t realize I was going through them. I went to the breakroom and sat down for half an hour and I finally called my manager and told her I needed to go home. So, I’m home. And, somewhat relieved to see that TOM is coming up….shocker! I need to get to a doc soon and see about this. It seems to be all hormone related and I need to get it fixed if possible!!!!!
Okay, that’s all! 
*Edited January 22, 2008** TOM came to town today. Imagine that.
I am getting to the update… promise!
This is, again, just for personal reference. 3 days before my “predicted ovulation” and I’m having the same symptoms…. wavy feelings. Yay!
I felt that strange tingly feeling again just now. Checked out mycycle.com - ovulation predicted for tomorrow. Just making a note for the docs.
Also, I stood up really fast from the computer after I woke up this morning - had to sit right back down - felt lightheaded. Could this be related to the other things. Hasn’t happened before - maybe just a one time thing?
So, I’ve been in a funk all day today. Not really a funk…just kind of a “screw-the-world” kind of mood. Not sure what caused it, but it’s here nonetheless. I was cleaning up my daughter after lunch and had one of those tingling sensations down my head and into my spine. (The pre-cursors to an anxiety attack). So, I come in here to check when my next ovulation date is supposed to be. What to ya know, my predicted ovulation date is Oct. 19. And, what is today??? Say it with me class: Oct. 19. I figure when I go to see a doctor about this, I’ll print out every post that has to do with my anxiety along with my Mycycle.com calendar and take it with me to the doc. so she can see the pattern.
This is all… class dismissed
and ta-da…. symtoms of an impending anxiety attack are here! yay! Again, this is just me making a note of it on here. I’m trying to see if there is a correlation between TOM (and ovulation times) when hormones are at their wackiest - and my anxiety attacks. So far, there seems to be. Interesting…..very interesting. Indeed.
Symptoms - started by feeling like a small child was sitting on my chest (no pains involved, no irregular breathing), I checked my pulse…. normal. From that - I felt that tingly sensation in my head. Now, I’m wondering if I’m dying of a heart problem (I should NOT have read news story about Isaac Hanson having surgery to remove a blood clot yesterday….. I’m SUCH a hypochondriac!!! Wonderful world of anxiety… how I love you so!
ETA: Well…. no wonder my anxiety attacks were coming full steam yesterday. TOM didn’t wait til Monday to appear - he came last night!!!!! Could my “wishy-washy” cycles be causing my hormones problems and causing hormone-induced anxiety attacks???? I will be bringing this up with a doctor. I’ll give it a couple more months to see if the pattern continues. I would think the only thing they could do for that would be to put me on some sort of Birth Control and I’m NOT going there again! I hated Birth Control when I was on it…. but, who knows….. just glad TOM came today! My bloating should be going away by mid-week.
Today…… we’re going to the fair!!!! CORN DOGS HERE I COME!
Okay, according to my trusty mycycle.com page, my estimated ovulation date is today. AND, I was sitting in our livingroom just now and felt that buzzing feeling / cold tingly in my head that typically preceeds an anxiety attack. I wanted to make note of it.
