Default Grieving vs. Depression vs. PMS

I've been feeling unusually (for me anyway) sad lately. I spent all day yesterday and all day today just wanting to cry. I'm crying over Gabriel but I haven't felt THIS bad in a long time. I'm at work, but I want to close my cube door and just sit here and cry my eyes out for the next hour.

I am going to finish this cycle of active yasmin pills on Monday, so it might be PMS. I have a weird feeling that I O'd this cycle (despite the yasmin), but that might just be wishful thinking.

I've also been feeling very anxious and had symptoms of an ulcer a few weeks ago.

Does anyone have any information about what to look for to make sure I'm sliding down into some spiral of unhealthiness? I guess I should see my doctor, but ugh... that's like a fate worse than death with me lately.

((Adrianne)). I've been feeling the same way a LOT lately. We're "almost" at the same point in time of our grieving - maybe this is normal. Add your plans to try again, and I'd think your grief could be worsened.

I'd see how you feel once you're done with the Yasmin.

I wasn't as far along as either one of you, but I do know the feelings of complete desolation and grief. Some days I can be fine and thinking "Okay, I'm hitting a turning point and I will be alright." then some other days I cry at the drop of a hat and have to bolt from the grocery store or the front counter at work. It sucks. I have not yet gotten AF since my m/c and was wondering as well if I am going through grief as well as PMS. Either way I wish it would just be done with already. My heart goes out to you *hugs*

i lost mary catherine on november 28, and between march 10 and late may, i literally wanted to die and felt that i didn't deserve the oxygen i was using. i'm sure everyone's timeline does its own thing, but i'm just letting you know mine.
i think that i was in a hormonally induced depression with plenty of grief on top. once i ovulated, i started to feel better. i still have these days, too. when i was in the middle of it, i checked out some library books on depression and read a lot in the depression forum here.
i recommend looking around at some of this sort of info and think about treatment if things don't improve within a timeframe that feels appropriate to you. you might decide it's just hard grieving, but don't hesitate to get help if you need it.
lots of hugs,
sheri

Sheri and Viv, it makes me feel better to know that I am not alone in having a severe low several months after the fact. And Angela, it is normal to feel great one day and completely depressed the next. So you're not alone either. I was worried because this has been pretty much sustained over the last several days. Seems like Mother's Day brought it on and I'm still having trouble dealing with it.
