Case of the Weepies
Help! I have been living with PCOS for the last 8 years. In that time I have been on 5 different birth control meds for the painful periods (cysts bursting) and the out of control feelings during TOM.
The medication has seemed to help with the nausea, pain, and passing out from periods and until this last month, the emotional side has been been under control.
However this month (pre period week to be exact), I have a bad case of the weepies. I'm not down but am just emotional. When I laugh or get excited, I cry. When I'm frustrated or mad, I cry. When I can't find two matching socks--I cry! It's ridiculous. I feel like my emotions are right at the edge of my eyelids just ready to spill out.
Should I go back to my doctor and switch meds again? I have been on the current one since Aug and have had no problems until this month. Or should I wait another month or two and see if it happens again? Maybe it is just work stress that is coming out in other ways? I think because I have been living with PCOS for so long, I am hyper-aware of emotional and physical changes.
Any suggestions or ideas?
