Just wanted to ask if any of this sounds familiar? I call it my Jekyl and Hyde routine. It's so frustrating that one minute I'm as happy as a lark...and the next watch out I might pop your pretty little head from your shoulders....wait....then....oh yea....here come the tears!!! Then, within a matter of seconds we start all over again...it's like I should walk around with a speaker warning everyone that I pass to "Please keep hands and feet inside your personal space until the crazy lady has passed. Please do not stare...that will only provoke her....parents, keep your kids close. Thank you...this has only been a test."
I'm on ortho-cyclen continuous supression....but MAN oh MAN when I do take a break to have a period....or sometimes lately even when I"m on the pill. Can your body become accustomed to the level of hormoes provided by the pill and request/demand higher levels of hormones to keep you sane?? Just wondering!!
My experience with Ortho was that it made me so nuts I had to switch BCPs. I get emotional anyway just as part of my PCOS. I drive my boyfriend crazy (though he is too sweet to admit it) by crying all the time over the littlest things, and sometimes I get all paranoid and anxious for no reason. I also get irritable, particularly when my iron or my blood sugar is low.

I know exactly what you're going through. Its like you know you are being Hyde but can't stop the words from coming out of your mouth. Somedays if I could crawl out of my body and kick my own butt I totally would. My bf/fiance' asks me what personality he is talking to today and swears that Im Bi polar - Happy sweet as pie then boom Down simba Down....I felt great off BCP's and I just got put back on them. My bf/fiance's mother (shes a nurse) told me some people can't take BCP's there body just can't handle it. I'm thinkin I am one of those people

I get this too, its as though Im watching myself from outside my body and I dont know how to shut up!! I get frustrated and argue with myself during an arguement with others because Ive started an arguement with someone for no reason...I end up either crying or landing in fits of laughter at the stupidness.
I think because Im a sagittarius makes things worse - I call it foot in mouth disease!

I feel like this too. Sometimes I will be doing something mean or crazy and know I should stop but I just can't. I just keep picking and pick until the other person gets POed or goes away. It's like I know I am being annoying and I just can't seem to stop. Lately I have been doing alot better at this because with being a teacher, I don't want to be doing this at work and have them think that I am crazy. Once in a while though I slip up so then I try to pass it off as a joke. Some people at work think I have a great sense of humor. Others think its a little odd. Hopefully none of them think I am crazy yet. I constantly feel like I have to hide stuff from people cuz I am afaid that if they find out stuff that they will hate me. Or with the mood swing stuff sometimes I am afraid that I will loose my job. One good thing is and I don't know why but for some reason, I can always keep my cool around kids. Even with some students who other teachers have just had it with and are fed up with, I can tolerate and be patient with them. It's the adult who I have trouble with.

I'm crazy emotional as is. But, when I was on BCPs I was even worse. And that's bad!!! I tried several different kinds, and none of them worked for me. Seriously, anything can set off my emotins, whether it be happy, sad or outrage, but on BCPs I was seriously psychotic. I would cry for hours after a dog food commercial!

I agree! BCPs made me totally intolerable with my family and myself!! I was in the worst state I had ever been in my life, I cant even take BCPs now because I was close to having blot clots on the last one I took. They just dont agree with some peoples bodies..
Does anyone have solutions to how they deal with their bad moods/tempers/mood swings? Id love to know anyones ways of dealing with it..
Recently, I'll be watching tv with DF and cracking up, and all of a sudden I'll say "Is it okay if I cry?" He says of course, and I bawl for a few minutes and he holds me, and then it's back to laughing at the tv. He doesn't even ask me why anymore.
Now that I've been doing my "hormonal therapy" with all my meds for a while, the bouts of rage have gone away (except when I'm driving. I think they must hand out licenses to anyone with a pulse!) But I do still get weepy for no reason, and I need an entire box of tissues to watch a chick flick.
If I didn't already know I have a hormonal imbalance I would check myself into the funny farm immediately. Maybe I should look into getting off bcps.......
