Does anyone else feel stressed all the time. Lately its even little things. I hate beening impatiant and moody. The latest was a fight with the phone company they were charging to much and I lost it. I totally told them a thing or two and would probably switched companies, I was on the phone all day with them. It seems so awfull I don't even want to go out. AND I FEEL AWFUL, MY HUSBAND IS SO SWEET AND I FEEL OUT OF CONTROL. HELP!
I'm so sorry you're having a hard time--
Sometimes I feel like that too--like I'm just not coping well--like my wiring is faulty!!
I hope that you have a good week, though. It helps me to break the cycle of frustration/moodiness by spending time in prayer and remembering that God is in complete control of everything. It definitely takes my eyes off of feeling victimized by tough life situations to know that God knew ahead of time what was going to happen in my life.
Don't mean to sound all religious and preachy--just sharing what helps me through times like this. ((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))
That happens to me too! The stupidest thing will set me into a silent but angry funk. My poor bf has had to deal with it more often than I care to even think about.
Mostly for me, it seems to be a combination thing. If it's a day when I don't really take care of myself (less sleep, not much food, no chance to shower), I become grumpy and self conscious. I just realized the combo last week, (I've been trying to figure out what sets it off some days but not so much others), and I haven't had a funk since to see if I can avoid it. Soon enough, I am sure.
Kathy,
I am so sorry you are feeling this way. I've been there too and I hate feeling that way. I don't know how you feel about faith and spirituality but when I feel so completely out of control it is because I am trying to be in control and I shouldn't be. I just have to pray that God will take control and carry my burdens. I always feel better after a good heart to heart with God. Whatever your belief is, I hope you get to feeling better really soon!

Hey hon, sorry you are feeling so out of sorts. I recently changed jobs to get away from a mean manager because I thought that was the source of my stress. However, even months later in a new less stressful job I was feeling irritable and unable/unwilling to handle many of the routine tasks I could do earlier. I got real sick with a sinus infection that lasted for 4 months. During that time I was not on any medication at all and had no cycle. I was experiencing horrible PCOS symptoms. By the time I went to my doctor's office, I was frustrated and ready to quit my job and become a hermit. I literally broke down in tears in my doctor's office. Well that did it! She wrote me a precription for BCP's to get my cycle regulated again and she gave me a precription to a low dose anti-depressant. After 4 weeks, I started feeling better and my husband even told me how much a difference it has made in my behavior. Before I was always on edge, yelling and getting mad at my family constantly- it was a feeling of almost wanting to climb up the walls and scream at times! Well I am much calmer now and focused on my life and feeling much better.
You may want to think about getting treatment for depression? It's very common in us PCOS ladies and it doesnt always manifest itself in the way you may think.
I'm keeping you in my thoughts - I know things will get better for you soon.

Yeah that kind of thing is the first symptom of my anxiety kicking up -- happens with my sister too. I tend to rip people's heads off for nothing and not even realize that I'm doing it. If you find that you really can't get it under control, you might want to visit your doctor and talk about anxiety and depression. Like charlestontess said, these things even manifest themselves in odd ways. Hang in there & know we're here for you.

NEVER AGAIN TAKING LEXAPRO!!!

hey,
i know how u feel - definately talk to your doctor and see what he/she suggests... but something i've started doing to help with my depression/ anxiety/ pcos etc is deep breathing: when i stressed/angry/annoyed i stop take ten deep breaths - inhale and exhale slowly and it really does seem to help me cope - maybe worth a try?! i'm also back on prozac which i'm hoping will kick in again soon - after i had a bad time on citalopram(celexa i think)....i know it sounds really obvious and i don't mean to be patronising or anything but just thought i'd share. have u considered seeing a counsellor to work through things with?
hope u find something that works for you!

I feel the same too. Sometimes I am so moody and horrible and I just can't seem to snap out of you. A few months ago was it was getting really bad and my husband admitted to me that I was becoming impossible to live with and said he was thinking of moving out until I got myself sorted and went to the doctors for help. I was just being so horrible to him for the smallest things or even for no reason, sometimes I felt like I was going completely and utterly mad and would just cry and cry. Everything seemed to upset me and I felt like everything and everyone was out to get me. I am feeling a little better now and when I feel one of my moods (as my husband calls it) coming on, I try to focus on doing something to keep me busy or have a hot bath with a good book and take deep breaths and really try to get myself out of it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.I have explained to my husband that I really can't help it and now he understands he is very supportive.
The thing is a lot of the time I know I am being a complete nightmare but I just can't stop it. I never did go to the doctors but it might be worth seeing if there is anything they can do to help you.
I know exactly how you feel, I really hope everything works out for you.
Stressed Out All The Time 
i get like this too. I drink a lot of camomile herbal tea, which seems to calm me down a bit.
Thank-you!
