Oh gag me, the crying!!!

I am not used to being an emotional wreck. This crap has been randomly happening now for 6 months (since my other PCOS symptoms also started). The sudden burst of incurably furious crying and swearing fits where I hate anything and everything that is in my path. I am not harmful, just full of rage and tears and talking out loud to myself getting my emotions out, and crying like a psycho chick. Oh the swearing too! I am usually really angry during these times, whcih doesn't make sense to me what with all the tears and sobbing. But, once it's out I feel better and ready to move on with my day. I find usually it is triggered by something, even very small like a sad TV commercial or sad song, or someone hurting my feelings. And it is usually right before my period starts. Like within hours. Now, being that my periods are all messed up lately too, I guess I'll take today's fussy fit as a sign that MAYBE just maybe AF is coming soon. I am soooooo glad that usually these things happen while I am alone! What a freak!

Right there with ya sister.I have been waiting for mine to show up for over a month now.Today i was having crying fit's.My only fear is when i have gone so long without af and my syptoms are so strong that it will be a bad bleed.It's a catch 22 situation.On one hand i am miserable but on the other i feel like i shouldn't complain because my body is trying to work right.

Hang in there.

Haha I just thought of something funny to describe my fits... PMS on steroids. LITERALLY! I wonder if the confusing anger/crying is related to my high testosterone... Then it really is PMS on roids!

I know that feeling. I have horrible moodswings, one minute happy go lucky, the next I could kill someone, then I cry. When I get this way at work it is awful. People look at me like I'm on something....*sigh*.

I so relate to this. I never chalked my filthy mouth up to PCOS, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's related!! I'll go through phases of crying at stupid things like commercials, to wanting to sit down in the grocery just to have a nice crying jag. Or I'll want to break things, and I'll cuss hard enough to make truckers blush. No reason, or, no GOOD reason, just I start freaking out. It has happened less since I've been on Met, and Yaz, but still feeling the crying now and again.

Ditto- Hang in there!!

You are not alone! My mood swings got so much worse like that when I was on meds to bring on my period. It's the hormonal imbalance. PCOS is lovely, huh?

reignstayr · 11-20-2007, 12:32 PM

I am right there with you too! I've never felt such rage as I have at times over the past three years. I'm a very mild tempered, easy going person (used to be). And it so sad while watching tv I will cry at commercials. Wish I could say that was only certains times of the month, but I'd be lieing. It's a constant whiny person sitting in my skin. and my job is working with all men, so it really really sucks!!!

It seems whenever I go into fits, it's all in the car. In traffic, I will randomly start cursing about anything and everything. Then, after I'm out of energy (usually a minute), I cry. Thank goodness I keep my windows up, otherwise someone would've shot me already!

OMG! I can't believe it! Someone else is going through this too??? Growing up with 5 sisters, I was the tomboy of the bunch -- never cried (ever), avoided heart to heart conversations at ALL costs, etc... now, I find myself crying at every little thing (a movie preview for cyring out loud! nto even the movie -- just eh preview!). I will have swearing fits too, I thought it was just becuae I was turning into a complete cynic, but I will swear up a storm at DH for nothing. Earlier today, he was breathing in my ear and I thought it was annoying and I just went off on him -- I used to F-word...over BREATHING! A few weeks ago, I wasn't feeling too good and DH called to say he would be coming home late becuase traffic was bad. I started balling uncontrollably -- heaving and everything!

When my PCOS symptoms first started, it was about the same time as the terrorists had taken over the Elementary School in Russia (in 2004). i was listening to s news report about it on my way to class (also my sophomore year on college) and I had to pull over becuase I was crying so hysterically.

I didn't go to school that day, instead I went to my mom's office and pulled her out of work, becuase I didn't know what was wrong, and I couldn't stop crying. SHe just looked at me all weird (the ONE of her girls that doesn't cry shows up sobbing) and took the morning off work to talk to me. I had just gotten engaged at the time and she thought that it was me manifesting that I didn't really want to get married or something... anyway, a few minutes after sitting down and having a drink (just water) I got up and I was fine... it was only the beginning of the bizarre behavior!
