Angry and irrational ...

I'm 10 weeks tomorrow, and 'moody' doesn't begin to describe me at the moment. I'm furious, literally raging, more often than not. Fighting with my husband, no patience at all with my 3 year old ... Really feeling out of control. Makes me worry what I'll be like once another one arrives. I don't remember this in my first pregnancy. Anyone else so mad they can't see straight? Really hoping this is something that will pass soon ...

Re: Angry and irrational ...

  • 10-16 weeks with my first two I had emotional issues. With my son I was depressed even though I really couldn't think of a reason besides hormones for being that way and with my daughter it was anxiety. Right at 16 weeks it was like a cloud lifted! If you can manage to exercise without overdoing it that might help. It also helps to tell yourself not to believe everything you think. :) When all else fails step outside or into another room.

  • I'm damn near homicidal if you get me mad these days, I see red. I'm fairly even tempered so the fact I go from happy go lucky to destroy is kinda intense.

    I pregnancy rage at everyone right now. I yelled at the dogs for being too clingy. You aren't alone.
  • Thanks ladies. Glad it's not just me, although not sure that will make a difference to my poor family :). Will try to remind myself to try to breathe before I fly off the handle. If only everyone would stop needing things from me :)
  • Think before you act.
  • My fuse is so short, with 2 teenage girls with raging hormones anyway. It's been such an effort to keep mine at bay.
  • I cussed the lady in front of me under my breath at Dunkin Donuts this morning for taking the last two pumpkin donuts. And then went home crying because they didn't put whipped cream on my iced latte. I was beyond furious, and I'm pretty sure the lady in front of me heard me and I didn't even care. I feel silly now of course. I'm pretty sure I have some kind of irrational rage everyday.

    My dog punched me in the eye with his nose when I bent over to pick up some mail I dropped. I yelled and threw the mail at him . He only thought my eye smelled good.

  • Haha. This made me laugh - I needed that. I dragged my kid to chuck e cheese today and literally lost my mind on the poor high school kid working there when the ticket cruncher stopped working and my DD couldn't get her worthless piece of crap plastic prize fast enough. Not my best moment.
  • Yikes! Take some deep breaths there mama :-) I'm usually really hard to get mad, but right now I'm definitely more liable to bite your head off. Don't. Eat. My. Reallyyummyraspberries! Time for me do some yoga breathing...

  • DH got me Taco Bell and the nacho bell grande was sans nacho cheese. I could have made my complaint to the manager in a more tactful manner, instead I said, "Why would your employee make nachos without cheese? Is it that hard?"

  • I get it. I get the hormones. And maybe because I and normally an easily angered or frustrated person I've had longer to work on controlling what I say or do. It is inexcusable to me to be rude to people or family because you cannot control yourself. Pregnancy is not an excuse. Learn some coping mechanisms.
  • So glad to hear that it isn't only me, I have been so mean to my husband and the smallest things set me off.  I get so pissed off about stuff and I feel like I have no control over myself.  It's kind of scary and I don't really like myself right now.  The first Tri is killing me, looking forward to moving on.
