It would also explain your weight gain, estrogen dominance has a feed back to the thyroid. Early thyroid problems are hard to detect even with the more effecient saliva tests (as opposed to blood tests which only measure blood levels of the thyroid hormones). It would be worth while seeing an integrative medicine dr, contact Life Extension Foundation for one in your area. Anyway, these were just a few thoughts.

Like we can't move on until that miracle jeanie talks about occurs.<br /><br />That leads to more resentment... and that leads to everything she does even her voice sometimes just makes me feel stressed. Even when she tries to be well meaning.<br /><br />It seems she is incapable of doing what I want her to do or need rather as of yet.<br /><br />I find myself acting as the mother sometimes and there is a fear with lots of conversations of one day being the one stuck taking care of her. That has been a huge fear lately. I think those things all contribute to it.<br /><br />I get especially annoyed/stressed when she talks about how she was a single parent and raised us all alone. That's true... but its her truth. My truth is a bit different.<br /><br />I did find out why she has been so stressful to me lately though and its more of her illness and a med combo. Its hard for me to feel compassion and I get conflicted and then feel guilty and give too much.<br /><br />In short our relationship is a roller coaster and she is the only parent that stuck by even at its worst. I do value that in a sense. I wish though someone would have stepped in, my dad... our family. But like you said in your post the secrets ran high in our family. They bound us. They didn't protect us they hurt us, they kept from people seeing I think how bad things really were.<br /><br />I need to find a way to really just be okay and heal without what I want from her because it just isn't healthy for me at the moment at least.<br /><br />What is strange is I can talk about these things online much more open than I can with any of my friends/family who live close by. Even the closest of my friends. I think it stems back to the secrets we had to keep.<br /><br />My mother finds any way to justify or give her version of how things were. She will say she was a single parent, we were tough kids (I have a brother who is bipolar and aspergers, a form of autism), I was a wretched teenager. I was a wretched teenager but... she fails to see exactly why it was that way.<br /><br />I also need to find ways to take my own responsibility. My mother is no longer at fault for how my life turns out... I am in control of that but I find myself blaming her a lot. <br /><br />Wow, this is long... I'll end it for now but its been something on my mind a lot. I wish blogger had a way to create private posts where I could select certain viewers to read it, I could divulge so much more that way. I have a lot to say but I fear someone will find it too.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800827994916656927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321363295996629001.post-30434968247198321372009-05-05T17:58:00.000-07:002009-05-05T17:58:00.000-07:00Of course, I came right here to read what you've w...Of course, I came right here to read what you've written about your mother. <br /><br />I'm so curious to know what causes your stress.
