Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Wow, E, that's some experience. Do you really believe that not being able to stand up for yourself is a hypo thing? Personally, I can stand up to a point, but then I back down way too quickly and that bugs me a lot. I am truly working on it but it's hard and it doesn't come across as natural when I try... Judy Ya know....don't ya think the hardest part of being hypo is that you can't stand up for yourself? Stay in the know. Pulse on the new Yahoo.com. Check it out.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Adrenal fatigue is the main one that does this "shying" of personality, and jumping when the pin drops behind you. It is notorious for these things. Hypo (as well as hyper) can make one "not care" or be more violent. Hey, the hyper at least got me out of an abusive marriage. I had always been more timid before the onset of it. I probably have a 99.9% chance of having started adrenal fatigue around 6 or so yrs ago, I can almost mark it on the calendar, but I haven't tested, so really have no proof of that. And, it was probably from my body being stressed out from being grossly undertreated with a lot of worry added to that, like most of us thyroid people. T'wd the end of that marriage, the tables were turned (hyper). I actually felt more like throttling him, but didn't, should have. I had NEVER felt like hitting him or anyone else in my life, that is, until then. 5' 6" at 113 lbs, skin and bones, but it just didn't bother me. Pesonality changes-----YEP!

Spiff: I'd agree because I'm so gentle right now:) Before they took out my thyriod ..I was a real butt-kicker. I had to hold myself back from throttling people. I won't feel well until I can do that again. Right now...the smallest sound makes me jump though the roof! LOL I know I'm gonna need a watch so I can remember my pills and I just know if I don't get this figured out...EVERY time the thing goes off...I'm gonna scream and fall off my chair. I'm sure its hillarious for OTHER people to see...but I'm hoping to be a little more composed. There is ACTUALLY mountains of research pointing to the personality and mental challenges posed by thryoid imbalance. Usually its the first reason that gets the hypo patient to the doc. ~E:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
