You guys are gonna have to forgive me here, I am a newcomer to this place (but not the monster) and I have to vent. Yesterday I let my extended family know that I am starting a new cycle. They of course have no clue what it is I go through, and even though I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy, just once I would like them to know what is really going on. My brother is a strct vegetarian and feels that every disease is a result of someone's diet. He has my mother believing the same thing, and so the first words out of their mouths when I told them I was starting with the cycle again was that I need to stop eating meat and dairy products. They don't seem to get the fact that it has nothing to do with what I eat or don't eat. I am really having a hard time dealing with the lecture on diet from people who are supposed to care about me while I deal with these damn demons in my head as well as a 6 year old, a husband and a job. Sometimes it's enough to make my head hurt! Ha!Ha! Well, thanks for letting me vent! Pain free days are up ahead!
