Chill Pill
I'm in desperate need of one. I kind of went off the handle this morning after getting clocked in the face with a bucket, on accident. I feel so pmsy lately. Bfing is still playing havoc on them so I never know if one is coming or what, but I feel like it a lot. Any suggestions, or herbs or something I can take to help these moods/irritability?
Re: Chill Pill
My midwife always recommends the book Women's Bodies Women's Wisdom by Christianne Northrup. I bet the Ankeny library would have it.
There are various teas on the market for "mood lifting" -- essentially intended to improve depression-like symptoms. Campbell's has a couple of types ... one is called "Cup of Sunshine." It may be worth a try. Packages state to contact physician if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Aside from a specific suggestion, I find that mornings are my vulnerable times (for moods), and if something irritates me, I'm not as resilient. I think, too, with BF'ing, it is exhausting, so with that and the hormones whacking out, it makes sense why you are feeling this way. Frustrating
I hope the day has improved for you.
I'm sorry
I wonder if part of it is seasonal? The new weather will help, I'm sure. Once you can easily get the boys out and about you will feel a little relief. But if not, there is no shame in reaching out to talk to someone about your stressors.
