Good Morning scout

Feelings, regardless of cause, are real. And fleeting. As you can obviously attest.

Remaining on the pill is often not just for birth control reasons. There are tangible benefits for one’s emotional self. Depression is a tough road to walk. Even cyclic episodes are difficult to sometimes see beyond.

I’m considering going back on the pill to prevent these episodes as I do find myself contemplating the final solution, so to speak, during them. At least when I know it’s PMS, I can rationalise these illogical thoughts and power through with self-care.

There is a hidden problem within that, one cannot rationalize well when gripped by irrational feelings.

Illogical thoughts are created and reinforced by irrational feelings. True in days you return to normal levels. However, you can lessen the hormonal pressure pretty simply, and that is good news for you. I believe you wise to consider resuming the pill and lessening the emotional swings.

Contemplations of the final solution are normal, and do need to be addressed. Depression leads to some desolate and desperate emotional landscapes. My own contemplations had a desperate measure of wanting to find peace.

I hope you do not think of this as mansplaining. I’ve got a plethora of feelings under the hood. Two, I think. Lol.
