I am intolerable.

I hate to blame things on hormones, because, get real, I am an adult and I can control myself. But either I am having some hormone (or at least pregnancy) related mood issues or I have developed a sudden-onset mental illness! I am crabby about nothing (and everything). I cannot seem to be patient with anyone. Last night I just felt like I was going to lose my temper over nothing, and all I could do was leave, so I didn't end up yelling at my innocent family. So I just drove around in my car yelling at bad drivers Embarrassed.

Then I feel guilty for being cranky. And I get sad because I want my husband and kids to want to spend time with me, but who would want to spend time with someone who is so touchy? I don't really remember being like this with the others, but it's been 9 years since the last time I was pregnant, so maybe I just forgot.

Re: I am intolerable.

  • I understand completely. My hormones have settled down lately, but the first 2 and a half months of my pregnancy, my husband didn't even want to be around me. No lie... couldn't stand to even look at me.

    At least you knew how you were feeling and took off so you didn't yell at the fam. It will settle down!!! :) HUGS!

  • Don't feel too bad.  I've been having that issue as well.  I'm normally pretty internal about my moods, but lately I wear my attitude on my sleeve.  My co-workers have gotten the brunt of it.  I've even been talked to by my boss about my "black and white thinking."  I've been trying my hardest to keep my cool but its not always easy.

    Last night I went driving too and ended up with a soar throat bc I was screaming so loud.  I'm hoping I'm not just an angry freak and this happens to other people.  So while I can't say that I'm really "glad" to hear that you're angry...I'm sorry, but it does make me feel slightly better.

    Hope you feel better too!

  • Don't beat yourself up about it. I've been loosing my temper left and right. I get so frustrated with everything. Mostly DH's driving. I hate driving and I love that he drives for me 90% of the time But it bothers me that i get so pisssed about little things, like going through a yellow light I totally would've gone through myself.

    Mine is mostly due to hunger and exhaustion I think, I'll blame that stuff. I think you'll feel better soon, and at least you're aware of it!
