Let's hear 'em!

Dear Sinus Infection,

I find it rather irritating that you decide to show your ugly face 10 days prior to my wedding. I don't have time for you and neither does FI. So go find someone else's body to live in. Please and Thanks!

Busy Bride

BM blocked FI and me of Facebook from seeing her pics or posts. She's is FI sister in law, and the same one that I have enter about in the past from ignoring me and causing drama in the family with me. I am not giving her the pleasure of me even noticing that I am blocked... But c'mon... Grow up. Last time I checked.... I graduated high school 10 years ago.

Confession: I did not vote yesterday, and I'm pretty good about that even when there is not a presidental election. However, I am glad that the millage for MISD did not pass. If all 21 school districts in Macomb County had to tighten their belts, then MISD should be no exception.

Please let me say that I am not heartless for the children that are in the various special needs programs that are offered by the various school districts in the county. I just believe MISD needs to learn to tighten their belts as well.

<div>On the brightside you have 5 months until your wedding... I have 2 days and a BM that said "we're not really friends anymore"... yippee!</div><div>
</div><div>Confession: I lack female friends because of drama. People think it's weird I hang out with guys when I'm getting married... I don't think I'm doing anything wrong / I'm not hiding anything from FI but I am sick of being judged.</div><div>
</div><div>Vent: 6 people this week have said they're no longer coming. I'm over the fact that they won't be there but it's annoying they're already paid for and I had to reaarange the seating chart / escort cards. </div><div>
</div><div>Vent #2: still effin' sick. uuuggggghhhh.</div>

Meegles4 · November 2011

I confess that I've become awful at making decisions. To the point that instead of picking one STD design, I just did two to avoid making a decision. We're also planning to have a dual entree at the reception because we wouldn't be able to make a decision otherwise. And then there's all the other little decisions I'm not making -- what shoes to wear, what headpiece, what kind of place cards to do. It's just making me cranky.

MMRoberts11 · November 2011

Vent: I just started a study late therefore messing it up. My postdoc was adding a new camera into the computer to record stuff and he didn't reset everything like he said he was going to last night. Everything looked correct until I hit record and got an error message. He just messed up another 2 weeks of data for me.

Ditto this. My confession: I'm feeling a bit purposeless since the wedding. Everyone is busy and has fun things to do and I haven't found a new hobby yet.

Understandable. I would be feeling the same way if we hadn't bought a house. You can come decorate my house if you want :)

I confess that I have a feeling I will be a grinch again this year. DH's family is trying to set the date for the extended family Christmas celebration and I'm already irritated (and so is DH thankfully). We may be skipping it this year and I don't feel guilty.

vk2204 · November 2011

Vent: My FI and I rarely see eachother. He has a rotating schedule, 6 days on 2 days off working 3-11pm. He gets the weekend off about every two months. We will have the same weekends the week before and after Thanksgiving.

Yesterday he informed me that he will be using one of the weekends to go up north. AND he wants to use his 8 hours that he has banked to add a day for hunting. I was pissed. I get that he loves to hunt and never has time to go anymore, but it just hurts that he can't stay home to spend actual time with me. He went hunting the last real weekend he had also. He tells me I am being selfish and unfair, but I would like to see him for more than an hour at a time, one day a week. ugh.

matuofm · November 2011

Confession and Vent all rolled into one (related to yours, Rachael):

I've been experiencing some post-wedding depression.
I'm a planner, and for the seven months we were engaged, I had something massive to plan and to look forward to. But now that it's over, I've got nothing to fill the gap. Don't get me wrong - I've got tons of stuff to keep me busy. But we'll be waiting for the next four months to find out if Jeremy's got this dream job in Portland that will transform our lives - and until then, we're just on hold - waiting, not spending any money because we'll need it if we're going to move. I can't even plan our next vacation, which is one of my favorite things to do. There's nothing specific I can look forward to and nothing I can reasonably plan for. That's removed a huge source of enjoyment out of my life.

Over the last two months since the wedding, I've been showing more and more signals of depression: I'm tired all the time, I'm cranky, my sex drive has dropped, I feel stressed, overwhelmed and sad. It's not constant, but I'm feeling it more often than is usual for me. 10 years ago, I suffered from crippling, major clinical depression. I've been completely well for a decade, but feeling this way makes me absolutely terrified that I'm heading into some sort of relapse. But I also know that there's a huge difference between "being depressed" and "having Depression."

There are a lot of factors that could be causing these feelings: Jeremy's new job is forcing us to adjust to a lot of things, including less alone time for me; I started BC pills, which is screwing my hormones all to hell; I'm graduating in April and the thought of spending the rest of my life doing any of the sorts of jobs I'm qualified for fills me with desperate misery. So maybe it's logical that I'm feeling down. Maybe that's the correct response to have to these stimuli. I feel like all I can do is do my best to be healthy and keep a positive attitude, and wait to see whether things improve or degrade. The stress of which is not improving my overall mood. Gah.

Crap, I win the prize for bummer post today. Sorry, ladies.

I have tons of female friends and no drama. I wouldn't choose to be friends with a drama queen.

You certainly have a lot going on and a ton of changes to deal with..I'm sorry that you are feeling this way :( I'm sure it isn't everything, but the birth control pills definitely could have something to do with it. It took me probably 2 years to find a pill that did not completely screw with the way I was feeling on a everyday basis.. There were days that I just had to sit down on the floor and cry for a half hour even though there was NOTHING wrong. I might give it another month or 2 (depending on how long you've been on it) and if you're still feeling that way, talk to your doctor about trying a new brand.

How long ago did you start? Do you think BCP can have something to do with the way you are feeling? I switched insurance January of this year so the pills I was taking for 5 years was going to cost me $80 a month. I tried 3 different brands and they made me feel awful, crabby, and just blah. Thankfully I got a new job and can resume taking my regular pills and I feel much better.

matuofm · November 2011

acaponi and vk: I'm taking camila, which is a low-dose progestin-only pill. I've been on it for about 2 1/2 months now. It's certainly possible that that's mostly what's been going on, and I have to admit that things have been improving over the last two weeks or so, so maybe that was the issue and I'm starting to adjust to it now. I certainly hope so.

Maybe it's weird, but it definitely made me feel better just to hear two people promptly say "um, you're on hormones. DUH you might be feeling off."

rcj2rcd · November 2011

Mel - I'm on a new pill too and it's sent me off my rocker. I just don't feel like myself. I'm sorry that you're going through this. The post-wedding stuff, an OOT hubby, and new BCP is a lot because it's all super emotional. DH is OOT all the time and it's making me devastatingly lonely. Milsey - I

PhoneCardLady · November 2011

VENT: My sis must have a complex and/or phobia with her age. She does not want anyone to know how old she is! She does not want us to say her age to anyone, including her own kids! She has threatened not to see us again if we do.

I could care less how old my sister is. Hell, I turned 50 this year and I am not ashamed of it in the least! I will be 51 when I get married and that will be the first marriage for me.

Oh, and speaking of complexes/phobias, my bro has one as well - having his picture taken. I think it's because he is balding and is embarrassed about it. The only time you don't see him with a baseball cap is when he is at church or he has a meeting with a client. We have one picture of him a year ago when sis got married - he refused to do one with just the guys. We were lucky to get him in a family group shot and it was only because someone had a wide lens.

I won't stand for this crap at my wedding. At age 49 he needs to suck it up for the day.
