Body Blues

 When Your Body Gets the Blues by Marie Annette Brown and Jo Robinson
…it seems as though their bodies were more depressed than their minds.
Sound familiar? The most common symptoms of the Body Blues are :
Low energy – Overeating - Weight gain - Tension and irritability - Sleep difficulties - Difficulty concentrating - Mild anxiety - Mild depression - Decreased interest in sex
Most people have some of these symptoms some of the time,
but a woman with the Body Blues has three or more of them to the point that they detract from her quality of life.
