Hi, OK..I forgot in my last post

2. mental or brain fog- use fish oil/cod liver twice day
and ginko biloba
3. LOST ambition,loss of interest in life...- I would
suggest "vitamin" drinks loaded with B 12,6 ect..
( not allowed to name brands here..but the one
with wings..really does it for me) and testosterone
creme.
( i bought that online) for $ 50.oo it aint cheap!


DAILY SURVIVAL GUIDE TO HORMONAL DAYS:

1. WRITE YOUR TO-DO LIST EVERYTHING ..I MEAN
LITERALLY FROM BRUSHING TEETH,FEEDING DOG,WIPING
THE COUNTERTOP,PREPARING MORE LISTS..
TO CALLING MOM,AND PICKING UP SUPPLIES,
DOING HAIR..REMOVING CARPET STAIN...( YOU GET IT)
THAT WAY,YOU DON'T FEEL HORRIBLE..AND LOST.
or worse...USELESS...and tongue tied...

2. ORDER,BUY,RENT COMEDY LIGHT INSPIRATIONAL
READING OR FILMS . ( STOP WATCHING NEGATIVE NEWS/ DRAMA)
PERIOD..YOU CANNOT GET THROUGH A COMMERCIAL
WITHOUT WHEEPING? THEN DON'T TRY TOO.

3. GET YOUR SELF PAMPERED,STOP LIVING IN SELF-LOATHING
AND GET YOUR HAIR,OR MAKE-UP MASSAGES,EVEN IF
YOU HAVE TO BUDGET THEM,AND STOP BUYING OBSESSING
OVER EXPENSIVE "CLOTHING ...
TO COMPENSATE FOR FEELING BLUE,buy fresh FLOWERS
INSTEAD!

4. JOIN GYM,CHURCH,OR WOMEN'S ONLINE SOCIAL
GROUPS,DANCE CLASS, ( PUT IN SEARCH ENGINE) YOU NEED SUPPORT
(THIS IS A GOOD BLOG..BUT REAL LIVE SUPPORT OK?) EXPERIMENT
in your HOBBIES..painting,singing,writing...

5. DRESS UP MORE MORE MORE ! I MEAN PULL OUT THE SEXY DRESS,LINGERIE
NOW IS THE TIME TO KICK IT UP,AND FEEL YOUNG..NOT
HIDE IN "PERIOD PANTS & SWEATS " YES I KNOW YOU
LOOK PREGO..BUT WEAR THOSE GIRDLES..but do it!!!!



6. STOP COMPLAINING TO YOUR MAN! START
FINDNG SOME NEW THINGS TO TALK ABOUT
YOUR INTELLIGENT ..SO STOP REPEATING
THE SAME OL SAME OL.....read erotic
books,explore other " ways to lovemaking"
visit shops....and speak about hobbies,
dreams,global issues..not your pain..and agony.


7.GIVE TO CHARITY,VOLUNTEER,OR SHARE( LIKE HERE)
IT UNLOADS YOUR LONELINESS,AND ISOLATION
TO OTHERS SUFFERING WORSE ..YES..worse THAN YOU.
8. CHALLENGE YOURSELF WORTH TO VALUE
YOUR "RIPE WINE' NOT POPULARITY CONTEST
LIKE THE "VANITY" THAT DROVE YOU IN YOUR
20'S...DREAM A NEW VISION OF YOUR PURPOSE
AS A SOUL ON EARTH. AND INSPIRE OTHERS THE SAME.!!!!
OR PAY IT FORWARD...

I had to laugh at this one. My Mom leaves the toothpaste on the floor in front of the bathroom door as a reminder!! I thought she was strange, but now I'm getting it!! LOL

I like some of your daily survival tips,but if it was that simple none of us would be here at P.S........

loved the whole list, most of which i already do... and it really can be that simple... this forum (and others) are part of my daily time to myself, and helps me feel 'normal' as well, also important at this time.

i leave 'reminders to self' all over the place.. love Windows Vista Sidebar - there's a post it note gadget where i can leave a reminder to self for things i really need to remember.. since i started taking guarana pills with ginko and ginseng, i think my mind is doing better... for the aussies here: eat more vegemite! (ok, joking really, but it is supposed to have a lot of B vitamins in it - i love it on cruskits or thin rice cakes)

and yes! get out there and exercise! if not a gym, just get out there and walk around the block for starters - not only will it make you feel better, but you just might lose a little weight as well.. and you might sleep better at night too... i like the satisfied feeling i have after gym, i have just done one more good thing towards my health and well being.. and i have lost weight this year, 12 kilos so far.

also, eat breakfast!! studies show conclusive evidence that those people who eat breakfast, are the ones losing weight. (not if your idea of breakfast is a bacon and egg roll, or cocoa pops!)

i am really all for the more simple answers, those that do not involve medication or playing with hormone levels or just sitting around feeling sorry for myself.
