I've been feeling distinctly fallible this past week. Read on...
This whole hormone cycle thing is really odd, especially the way my mind deals with it. I feel like the first week of each cycle (remember from A&P, day one is when the bleeding starts) is great mentally. I have great focus, great abilty to get things done. Any studying that needs to be done I can get done. I'm able to set my mind to things and get them done. The second week there may or may not be any differing effects, the week after that is bad too, and the week right before my period I can't focus on anything, not to mention the fact that I'm moody (generally in a negative way), I cry a lot, stress wears on me more easily...
Monthly it seems to hit with varying degrees of difficulty- some months my "bad week" isn't as bad as other months.
This month (the past week), my emotions have been awful. Not one, but two melt downs. Complete inability to self-motivate, complete inabilty to maintain any kind of confidence, and complete inability to focus on ANYTHING. It's so predictable... i wish there were something I could do about it... my life would be so much easier if my emotional status from week 1 maintained throughout the month...
It's no wonder the latin root "hyster-" as in hysterectomy, is the same root found in "hysterical" or "hysteria." The damned uterus makes women looney...
