Up and Down

I recently switched my birth control to a different brand. I was on Mircette and now I’m on Desogen because they’re discontinuing the prior perscription at the health center. Of course, at my appointment, I came to find out that the mircette is probably what caused me to compete with my boyfriend in growing a beard. Wonderful right?

I was warned about the hormonal affects because of the change in levels. And today, they finally kicked in. One moment, I’m happy pleasant, witty, snapping jokes off, let me hug you friendly. The next? I wanted to rip someone’s throat out and eat them alive for no apparent reason.

Joe… aren’t you happy to be in the middle of the woods, wet and freezing cold, living off an hour of sleep and an MRE a day? If I were him, I’d rather be doing that than dealing with a girlfriend who’s having snapping moods on the phone. At least, compared to when I first started BC, I am prepared and ready for it.

I just got back from a movie and entertaining three other people for dinner and managed to keep control of my hormonal urges.

Now I have to remember to take deep breaths and fight the urge to go hide in the bathroom and cry.
