Mood Swing City!

Man I don't know what my problem is. I'm not exactly looking for a dx just a place to gripe I guess. For some reason I just cannot handle certain things at certain times of the day...and it's mostly in the evening...for example today I asked dh if he would help me wash my hair...which is normally a treat...and today, no matter how hard he tried to please me I just didn't like the way he was doing it and I snapped....so of course I'm upset with myself over the way I'd behaved and I'm crying the whole time I'm trying to rinse my hair out in the sink and the dog is at my feet and I just couldnt' figure out why such little things were bothering me so much...Tonight I was so wound up about dh getting deployed and us not having time for "us" tonight that I just could not sleep...I don't know why I cause so much drama...grrrr.....

I know exactly where you are coming from. Most of the time I have the patience of a saint

- Honestly!! But today, well, just everything has wound me up so much I thought I was going to completely lose it!!! I even told my son to "shut up"!!! He's only 3 and I NEVER, EVER tell him to Shut up! I'll say "be quiet" or "a bit less noise please", but never "shut up" I felt awful! I know AF is due - and late (there's a surprise), but my mood is far worse than normal PMS!!

I don't have a dh or df or any partner at all and haven't since my son was 3 months old, which can be lonely, but I don't usually take it out on my son. I even got mad at our puppy and she's only 11 weeks old!!!

Here's hoping it passes quickly for both of us - but don't worry, you're not mad and you are not the only one!!

Take care!!

i was searching for some kind of answer i recently started back on met 500mg a day and have quit smoking but i feel so low, i dont know why, i have shouted at my dh and have upset the friend ive had for 16 yrs and i really dont know why. i just cannot control my mood sometimes i just want to sit and cry and other days id rather not speak its only recent and im trying to get through it but now i seem to alienated myself because ive been awaful to tthe peole closest to me. so its here where i think i can have a bit of a moan and people reading this might just say "Aaah yes, i know that feeling" So heres hoping im not losing my mind.

Physically, you might check on your blood sugar levels? Are you eating plenty of protein. Some, a little bit of carbs as well? Do you take gluc? Mentally, hey it sounds like you have a lot of stress right not. It is hard when life is being disrupted the way yours is. Having your DH deployed would make anyone stressed, depressed and moody. I'm so sorry this is happening in your life. Hang in there and don't be afraid to seek support and counseling if you need it. Hugs, Lendi

Yup, I know all about irritations. I just try and find a time out for me. If it means I have to close my door and browse the web I will. I just try and remove myself from the situation. Today I went to pick up some groceries by myself. I cranked up the radio station that only I like and I bought a chololate bar only for me. When we pay some kindness to ourselves, others ensure that thier heads will remain in tact. Now God help the person that tries to infringe on my "me" time.
