I have been thinking about hormones and pregnancy. You hear these stories about women not being able to stop crying while they are expecting and I was wondering if I would be like that too. So far I think it is quite safe to say that I am not overly emotional. Well not more than normal, I do get my days up and down the emotional rollercoaster.
I remember last year a few weeks before my wedding I cried for 2 hours straight without not really knowing why. I think it started off with thinking of my dad and the fact that he wouldn’t be at the wedding (he died when I was 16). But I really don’t know, never happened before or since, I was just like a flooding tap of tears could not stop at all.
I have never really suffered badly from PMS or PMT or whatever we call it these days. My MS would on the other hand make itself remembered then, by making my bad arm sting and burn a bit. I guess that have to do with body temperature. The only other thing I can think of and put down to hormones is that sometimes around the time of ovulation I find people much better looking than I normally do. I remember walking down Camden high street thinking all the usual EMOs, Goths and druggies were replaced with models. Weird, but actually not unpleasant at all.
The funniest hormonal related thing I have ever seen/heard was when my best friend got teary eyes over some Marks and Spencer sushi. She was in PMT land and I was complaining by the lack of sushi where I live and told her I got some from m&s. But this is of course cooked fish so no real sushi, and she felt so sorry for the fake sushi that tried so hard but still fails, that she got tears in her eyes. I still like to tease her about that!
