I got up when Shaun called me this morning. I feel ok, I've done all of my morning rounds, and I'm ready for work. Honestly I should already be there, but getting in at 10:30 beats rolling in at 1 or 3 any day so I'll take it.
My body feels a little weird, but I have gradually felt my life force return since the removal of my Mirena. I would like to encourage all the ladies who are using hormonal birth control in any form to not overlook the side effects if you are feeling "off." In my case I was on a slow but steady emotional decline. Things got bad enough that I lashed out and stopped doing ANYTHING (even things I liked doing) until some people who care told me I should seek help. I didn't suspect my birth control at first at all because there had been some stress in my life and I thought "Well, feeling this way is probably all part of aging." Turns out it wasn't and I am SO THANKFUL for that.
It could be as simple as trying something new to get you feeling all better again. My personal preference for now is to stay off of hormonal methods which is going to be difficult, but in my personal opinion - WORTH IT. If you are happy with what you are using then more power to you. I'm not trying to push my preferences on anyone - just want to point out that if you aren't so great don't rule it out as the cause. Your happiness and emotional well-being are worth it.
Now, off to work!
