had a "meltdown" yesterday morning????
A screaming, nasty, ugly display of vile temper....
Of course I apologized to my DD who caught the brunt of it.
I just don't know how long the lasting effects of this poison will be hiding in the crevices of my brain.
Of course being diagnosed this past March with Hashmotos thyroid disease and the endocrinologist,
try as he might can NOT get my thyroid levels where they should be makes me wonder if this is the
cause of this episode yesterday. I dunno but I just wanted to touch base with my wonderful supportive
friends here on the Cymbalta forum. Because it is "here" that I know that I can be as honest about these
experiences as I need/want to be.
Have a blessed day all. Prayers from TheEquusWoman
Equuswoman,
I am so sorry you had the meltdown. They are so frustrating (in my experience) because you simply can't stop one once it gets started. Even if you can see yourself doing it.
I was diagnosed with Hashimotos disease after the birth of my first child. That was 1980 and it took a while for the meds to work and for the docs to get them stable. So much comes into play with the Hashimotos....age, hormone levels, stress factors, this poison still resonating in your nervous system are just a few.
From a mental health worker stand.....
Try to take a minute and look at the events just prior to the meltdown...time of day, people around, noise levels, were you physically comfortable, too hot too cold, all of them....then see what the trigger may have been. You know the combo or one event just prior to the meltdown...were you hungry thinking of something unrelated but upsetting. With the Hashimoto being uncontrolled, stress alone can bring that on.
Another thing as you have all told me take it easy and remember one moment at a time.
You know they have found traces of anesthesia in people up to a year after a surgery why on earth wouldn't this garbage still be floating around in our brains after only 4 months???
