I think I may just need to vent a bit.
I am feeling really moody this week....weepy and bitchy by turns, and rather unreasonable. There may be several reasons for this.
1. I'm on a form of birth control, called Nuvaring. The website is www.nuvaring.com. I was on the pill a few years ago and it made me so depressed and hungry that I stopped after 2 weeks. I've had the ring in for a week now, and while my appetite has not increased (yay!) I'm feeling really moody. I think this is preferable to a pill because my hormone levels don't spike every day and the hormones are closer to my reproductive organs. So I'm not enthusiastic about going back on a birth control pill.
2. I'm off work for the week and around my family a lot. They're okay, but I find myself wanting to hide in my room a lot.
3. Christmas was rather tiring. It went for 36 hours with 3 different sets of families. While it was fun, I was so glad for it to be over.
4. My future mother in law is a tweak. She can be so charming and nice, then absolutely selfish and horrid. She is teritorrial, and I will admit that I feel some rivalry with her. I am very tired of taking the high road with her and keeping my mouth shut. And I'm not even married to her son yet.
5. I'm planning a wedding. We have had no major snarls, and my fiance and I haven't really disagreed about anything concerning it. But it's still stressful, I'm not gonna lie. My mom is helpful but she also asks a million questions that I don't know answers to.
Again, I really want to give this birth control a chance. But I don't want to feel like hell all the time either. I know I should stick it out, and it may not be as connected to the ring as I think.
I know there are many others who are dealing with stuff that is much worse. I feel bad for whining.
I'm going to crawl back under my rock now.
