Hi,I have not been here in a whlie.I have had several weeks of feeling pretty good,Thank GOD.Well,today I woke up just feeling disgusted,disgusted with my body and the weight I have put on,disgusted with my house and the mess that has piled up on me.Disgusted with life in general.I am normally not like this.I have a ball of anger insidethat is just seething.I am a Christian,and I sat down and prayed about this.I do feel better,but what I want to know is if this is another peri symptom.I have felt like this when I was on my period before,but this is much much stronger.I am so disgusted that if I had the physical strength I would turn my house on its end over a trash bag and just throw it all away and start with a clean slate!!!Does anyone understand??I have three kids and do not want to be like this around them,will it go away??Have you ever felt this way??I will check in often and see if I get responses.I need a little affirmation here.GOD-bless

When I feel disgusted about things, I either get so depressed that I want to die, because I see no way out. The more I think about my lousy situation, the worse I get.

Other times, I feel agitated and angry, like you. When I have this type of negative energy, I use it by doing something physical, like cleaning, washing windows, gardening, etc. When I am moving, I don't think about how miserable I am.

This way, something positive gets done, and I feel better about things.

Thanks armadillo,I don't feel so alone now.I am trying to take a deep breath and go on.

Hi Lady E,
So sorry that you are feeling this way. I do think that this is a temporary phase for you and it is probably a case of hanging on during these very unpleasant episodes. I do understand how you feel about your house, sometimes mine looks as though a bomb has hit it or it has just been done over by a burglar. I suffer from bouts of exhaustion which really interfer with my ability to keep the house functioning properly. I also have an overwhelming feeling that I have lost control and I find that I react very badly to untidiness. I really can fly off the handle when I feel surrounded by mess! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! I think that the lower oestrogen levels have made me very, very intolerant to everything. I am even intolerant to the feel of my clothes and can't stand anything tight or restrictive. I used to love a cuddle with hubby but I now find it an unpleasant experience and I squirm out of his grasp. How sad is that!
The good news is that you said that lately you have been feeling better. I do believe that all this will come and go during the transition period. I pray that someday soon we will both feel a little more balanced.

Regards,

XIII

It wasn't so much disgust as one day when I was taking a walk, I thought to myself, "Gee, I could just keep walking. Walking away from everybody and everything. Wonder what it would be like and if anyone would really miss me?".

Ever wonder if that was the true reason behind She Devil's behavior in the book and movie? Not so much about her mate having an affair, but being at a point in her life where she felt she had nothing more to lose and could just as easily walk away?

BTW, it does go away.

I get this way every now and again. I just want things to be right and because this is the real world who knows when that will be.
I will walk into my house aafter being out for a bit and see so much that needs to be done. I just want to lie down and shut my eyes to it. Usually if I take a short nap things will be a bit better. I will snap out of it but when I am going through it I wonder when that will be.

Thanks to all who have replied.It is so helpful to have this support group.GOD-bless and more later

I felt the same way as deshal for a very long time! The greatest temptation in my life, well ONE of the greatest temptations, was to pack what little I could get in my little car and LEAVE!! I didnt care where I went! I wanted OUT and i didnt care where I ended up!! And yes, it passed!! DARN!!!!

Yes, I get disgusted at times, too!

Well,I have to say that what I was feeling had to be hormonal.Today I feel fine.No big ball of anger and disgust-Thank GOD!! Thanks to all who shared with me.GOD bless
