Just got back from the doctors, after finally getting round to going back for the results of my blood tests last month. For the sake of full disclosure, I will add that I have not been to work yet this week, as I felt like crap on Monday and a bit better yesterday, so I'm skiving today as well. Your taxes, hard at work. ;)
Anyway, I'd already self-diagnosed yesterday, once I started looking at dates so it all came as no surprise that the blood tests came back as perfectly normal for everything else (like thyroid etc.), given that I figured out my low mood etc. has been running the same time every month now for three months. That's not just chance, that's a pattern.
Time to hit the SSRI's, with Prozac getting the first crack at taming this, because I can't be this out of commission every month - I have too much going on to crawl under the duvet for a couple of days at a time between now and whenever it is I'm going to hit the menopause. At least when I was a teenager I was stroppy rather than low, though I'm beginning to wonder whether my business with L last week was also affected by the hormone can-can that I'm apparently going through on a monthly basis.
Meh. Second guessing myself is going to get old, really fast, as well.
