It's been way too long since I blogged. Life has been hectic, and way too challenging lately. School and finals took up a lot of my time, but they're over and I am grateful for the break. I chose not to go summer semester and I am feeling good about being home with my kids. It was nice to get my school over with and have this last month of my kids' schooling without the stress of my school. They have plenty of activities to keep me busy.
PMDD has kept me a slave the last two months and has been very difficult on me. I have been so depressed, that I become a hermit, a recluse and can't function. (one of the reasons I have stayed off the computer) I have been avoiding seeing another doctor because I just thought no one could help me, but I finally went to see a gynecologist and now I have some hope for fighting it. I am going to be put on birth control. A new one called YAZ. It has been tested and reported to help 21 of the symptoms of pmdd. I start in a week and can't wait to see if it helps me. I have great faith in this and know that Heavenly Father is watching out for me.

Oh Leah! I am so sorry you are having a tough time :( I hope that the YAZ helps you and that you are back to yourself in no time! I miss you!
I've missed you a ton!! I hope your feeling better, hugs and love to you.
Do you mind if I ask was PMDD is? I can't quite figure out the acronymn. I hope the new meds work for you! How did your last semester go??
Yay, finally a new post! I've been checking regularly, you know. I'm glad you hear the pressure is off a bit now. Sorry about the PMDD, though. I thought you had it under control? I guess not, but yay for the new doctor who can maybe help! I hope it does really good things for you. And I'm happy you're posting again!

PMDD stands for premenstrual dysphoric disorder. It is more severe than PMS Premenstrual syndrome. Here's a link with more info if you're interested:

It's gotten worse in the last 6 months and I haven't been good about getting to the dr. In other words, I've put myself through unnecessary suffering. It will take about 2-3 months to feel the full effects of this medicine. If I still have troubles they are going to add another on to replace my celexa...called seraphim (sp?) We'll see!
