I've been experiencing these exact uglies but with our four young children being the victims. This mommy thing is HARD and the "gift" of hormones means one more thing to negotiate. To pill or not to pill...a very hard question. Praying for wisdom for YOU to make the choice that is best for YOU.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181913833456702534.post-9150205311002526272010-02-18T16:40:34.206-08:002010-02-18T16:40:34.206-08:00Kelly's right; you can always stop taking that...Kelly's right; you can always stop taking that little pill if 1. it doesn't work, or 2. if it makes you loopier than before.

Sucky news about a kid's health, another one broke her ankle, being told by another child, "Your the worst mommy that I could ever have!" <br />I've have felt like I am on my last nerve, forced to keep reminding myself, "all you can do is what you can do." A little nonsensical, but the rhythm works to remind me to just breathe and get through the moment. My husband exclaimed yesterday, "Get a hold of your hormones!" <br />Don't I wish it was that easy!<br />Good luck!Mrs.Mayhemhttp://motheringmayhem.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181913833456702534.post-27914704719264582202010-02-16T18:42:36.210-08:002010-02-16T18:42:36.210-08:00I wish so much I was there to give you a hug and t...I wish so much I was there to give you a hug and take your boys for a couple of hours!!!

What's the worst that could happen? You fall asleep and have the nap you deserve? You have a moment of clarity and focus and the overwhelming doesn't seem like such a big deal? You get through the chaos with big and little hearts spared? Or maybe nothing happens, the damn blue pill doesn't work?<br /><br />Either way, I vote for the pill on a day you don't have to drive. <br /><br />much love,<br /><br />KellyKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17465492447691543533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181913833456702534.post-57802608690496806702010-02-14T11:13:32.353-08:002010-02-14T11:13:32.353-08:00There really was something to the Red Tent.

I'm afraid of taking pills too but I was prescribed a pill for anxiety and I'd often go over to the bottle, look at it and shake my head that I just didn't want to risk the effects. But finally, one day, I took it. And do you know what... it worked. It was totally worth it and now, just knowing it's there, makes me feel less anxious!<br />Maybe ask your doc if you could take half of a pill and see how that works? It might make you less tired but still take the crazies away. Worth a shot.<br /><br />This day shall pass... feel better!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181913833456702534.post-7020627872554010462010-02-14T07:10:29.361-08:002010-02-14T07:10:29.361-08:00I had those crazy days too, which is why I decided...I had those crazy days too, which is why I decided just to swallow the pill (a different pill than yours since I have to take mine all month along). I would not go off those pills now if they made me grow a second head. They have saved my sanity and our familial peace...<br /><br />As for your pill, have you thought about just taking it on a test day -- a day when you don't have to go anywhere -- so you'll know how it affects you?Mommy, I'm Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00390940917560439493noreply@blogger.com
