Girls, is this the progesterone? So, last week I was having a pretty great week- I saw The Colors Within with a friend, got my nails done by an amazing tech, playing soo much of the new Infinity Nikki update- spending nights coordinating outfits with a friend and taking photos, and just overall shining...and then ouch! My heart turned into an absolute storm, yearning for a deeper, more romantic, connection with someone. Like, I've been single for sooo long, and while I don't love that, I was kind of used to my feelings; overnight, my emotions, and how they manifested completely shifted. My heart alternates between heavy with melancholy to fluttering when thinking about a connection with another person. I don't know what these feelings are, and they are so intense- ahhhh!

when I first started progesterone it was a bit like falling in love again with my partner, very intense - so I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be the prog 😅

I thiiink I do prefer this over the completely blunted/ambivalent feelings I had before, but the lows are hitting hard 🥹 heated blanket + ice cream + mood lights are super helping 😌
