Listing my symptoms was fun, because how do you explain that you've been having them for 10 months, but they never seemed bad enough to warrant a trip to the doctor?
I used fancy words and phrases like 'listlessness, trouble focusing and prone to crying at pretty much everything" because how else do you gloss over the fact that you feel depressed, but not depressed enough to say "I'm feeling depressed."
So after a brief discussion that referenced B12 replacement, anti-anxiety drugs, anti-depression drugs, and thyroid tests, my lovely doctor and I decided to try changing my birth control pills first to see if that might help. Why that first you ask? Did I not mention that I've been breaking out so bad that I feel like a 17 year old before prom?
So she checked my current pill.
and then she had to go get a reference manual because she didn't recall exactly what hormones were in my current pill off the top of her head.
And then she had to call the help line because she couldn't find my pill listed in her thick book.
And THEN she came back and APOLOGIZED.
Because apparently I've been on a pill designed for women who are nursing and typically isn't effective for regular women.
Instead of being pissed, I'm just hoping that in 3 weeks I don't look like an ad for ProActive anymore and can watch the local news without crying.
And while I try to compose something witty for my next post, I welcome y'all back with a few pics of my lovely ladies.

Love the blue and the stripes! :-) Glad to see you here.
It's awesome that your doctor helped you figure that out, I hope that it helps with what's been ailing you.
And the pictures? So cute. Your daughters are gorgeous.
