Hey Anemone, this too shall pass, one day at a time - sounds so boring but not any less true. To be entirely honest and of course it may be different for everyone, I never really had problems with the hormones and I also had cancelled cycles and monster dosages. I believe it’s much more the stress and disappointment of the whole situation. But that’s good news, because there are things you can do about that. I found even just a few sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy with a good psychologist really helped and the Calm App was actually amazing too! And I wasn’t interested in these sorts of things before this all started for me, either. Try and download the Calm App and at least twice a day, take the time to do some of their anxiety or stress meditation modules, it really helped me with perspective, patience and appreciation for all that is still good in my life.
When it comes to relationship advice, I am no guru but have no doubt that honesty and openness is always the way to go (as you have done). Sure, I agree, don’t go on and on and on about what you are going through on the second date but you should be able to talk about it a bit otherwise well, she’s not the right one.
