This is me in a nutshell. I love having a good time but I swear I often and paying for that good time for not just a day, sometimes a full week! It’s horrible. I guess I have had to alter my lifestyle and really pay attention to the types of alcohol I’m drinking and the amount. My favorite types of nights are girls nights with red wine flowing but I’ve found red wine is my worst nightmare for hangover depression! I always try to drink as much water as possible while I’m drinking, before bed and have something planned to get me out of the house and moving. Hope that helps.
I can so relate. Every time I am about to get a period I tend to sink into a depression and my anxiety is off the charts. The worst part of this is that I always forget that these slump periods coincide with my period cycle. So I can often ruminate and beat myself up over feeling this way for what appears to be a total symptom of PMS. I would always say to myself “my life is great, I have a job, why can’t I just be happy!!!” It wasn’t until I started tracking my cycle with an app that I realized- wow these monthly slumps MUST be hormone related. I haven’t had my period in some time due to breastfeeding but when I get it back I’m sure these symptoms and “slumps” will return. I will work to find relief and post about what helps me deal with this!
