Ever since I had Cooper I've felt off. I kept blaming it on hormones and giving it time, and things progressively got worse. It started back in July after I stopped nursing, and my body tried to get back into the swing of things. To make a long story short, my monthly specialty was out of whack. From: nothing, to spotting for weeks, to literally hemorrhaging. The later made me realize it was time for an intervention, so I made an appointment with my doc. After some blood work we found I have hypothyroid disease. Fun! Not. Although, I cried tears of joy to know I wasnt literally going insane, and it was this certain hormone throwing me out of whack. It's amazing to me how many symptoms I was dealing with off the check list. My poor family. I've been a wreck.
I've been on my medication for a few weeks and feel better already! Now I'm ready for the weight to start peeling off, which is a whole other depressing story, and was what I originally thought was to blame for my horrible state of negative thinking, and feeling of complete worthlessness.
But for now, I'm happy to be remembering things, not feeling worthless, depressed, and wanting to get out of the house! Now if only I had clothes to fit into! In time, in time.
It's amazing that one little hormone imbalance can completely destroy you.
Here's to moving onward and upward in 2011! I pray everything evens out and there won't be any reason for further testing.
Another gem of info: the doc is hoping the medication will even everything out within a few months, and I won't have to take it for the rest of my life. My fingers are crossed.

That suck big time Kara.
I'm sorry, but glad to hear that the meds are working already!! That's fantastic.
As for the "what to wear?!" I FEEL ya. I'm at my heaviest I've ever been, and to be quite frank, am pretty darn depressed about it.. which then leads to more eating.. Stupid emotional food eating habits. So, know you're not alone in your questioning.
Oh.. and least you can blame your hormones. I don't even have pregnancy to blame for the gain or wackiness.
Sorry, I hope things get better and brighter all the way around.
