Oh boy! Going on 12 days no contact. It hasn't been difficult to not contact because I remember vividly the repercussions of contact and reopening old wounds. The PoA will never give the compassion and understanding I yearn for. But the residual feelings are difficult and they seem to be worsening before they get better. However I'm not giving up, not going back. And doing my best to do the work and get in touch with a higher power. And acceptance!
BUT today is the day, the day every woman with LA might understand, emotional upheaval from hormones. The PMS is really giving me all types of messages and empty feelings. I feel alone. But a different kind of alone, a despair feeling to the core.
Has anyone had experience with the deep confusion and negative thinking that comes with PMS? And what has helped them?

Hi abetterlife I agree. Certain times of the month I am defintaley more emotional and more likely to want to revert to old feelings and negative thought patterns. If these times also coincide with a new or full moon then I really am in trouble! The only way for me to get through this is to remind myself of the reason that I am feeling more sensitive today. Maybe try and organise something or to be with someone to try and take my mind of how I am feeling.

Phb, Haha coincide with a full moon means more trouble! Love it. I have a recovery partner who texts during that time of month. It helps! She texts/calls me with her emotional thoughts and vice versa. That way any irrational thinking that may surface with that blast of hormones...can be decoded by an outsider. Sure does help
