F*cked Up Cycle

Renee

My periods has been messed up for almost a year since we started trying to conceive. I went to my primary care physician and got on the pill to regulate my periods this past Wednesday. I've been spotting on and off since so each time I'm spotting I think that my period is starting. But the spotting stops, and starts up again a day or two later. Yes I have been under a lot of stress and dealing with anxiety and depression too. I'm doing everything I can think of to help myself to relax. I'm going to counseloring, I write, I do arts and crafts, I paint, I take pictures, and I hold a doll that I originally got to practice taking newborn portraits. Well my boyfriend's family doesn't like a few things I do to relax myself when I'm having an anxiety attack or a depression episode. They think that I treat the doll like a real baby which I don't, I don't 'feed' the doll, I don't 'change' the doll's diapers. I don't sing to it, I don't have any baby furniture for it. I just hold it, and I also have 3 dogs to help me calm down. So with all the issues with my boyfriend's family is what's triggering my stress, anxiety and depression. Which in turn messes with my periods, and I just want to be stress free and be comfortable and happy.
