days_unfoldingI'm spooked.
A day or two ago, my mental health symptoms completely went away. I was thrilled, and was praising the lithium.
Last night, I got my period again a week after having it last (TMI, but relevant). That means that I stopped ovulating again. And come to think of it, my menopausal symptoms largely went away during the time period that I was having my worst mental health symptoms. And I had noticed a monthly increase in severity of symptoms about a week before I would get my period.
Sooooo, now I'm wondering I'm having a really severe reaction to the shift in hormones. And, if so, I wonder if there's anything that they can do about it. Certainly any drugs that they could give me to stop ovulation would have severe side effects. Having a hysterectomy seems a bit extreme, although I wouldn't completely rule it out. If my only choices are to intermittently have severe problems thinking or take drugs that definitely make it impossible to think, I'm really in big trouble.
I already noticed that my symptoms are eerily similar to those that I went through during adolescence.
