Anyone else feel like a mad woman?

I know many of us are experiencing some serious mood swings but I feel like a mad woman sometimes.  I get so irritated with my dh and in the midst of it I realize I don't know why I'm angry, I'm just ANGRY.  Anyone else experiencing this with their dh?

    YES. in fact, before i found out i was pregnant i thought to myself "this is the WORST pms i have ever had!"

    good thing for me, my DH knows my mood swings are out of control for a little while. he is so understanding.

    he did tell me during my first pregnancy that i "needed to stop being a monster". let's just say, he didn't make that mistake again! :)

    I'm like that, but I'm constantly wondering if it's the pregnancy, the fact that I'm bipolar and off medication, or both.  My therapist told me it's probably both, though.

    I am very very very irritable and I'm driving Sean insane!! He keeps sayin hurry up and have that baby...well he has a LONG way to go! Hopefully I get better at controlling my terrible mood swings! But I know how you feel...I get SOOOO MAD at him and only him and sometimes I don't know why, other times I can pinpoint exactly what he does to P*SS ME OFF. I kinda feel bad for him Sad

    Totally.  I'm so irritated and usually by nothing in particular.  I don't usually take it out on DH because for some reason I have a huge attachment to him right now (seriously, I know it sounds corny, but he's like the only person who makes me feel better).  But I'm avoiding family and friends right now because I'm afraid I'll blow up at them.  It helps to get out of the house.  I've been shopping and walking by myself to work off some steam.

    Can I get an amen?! I am so grouchy and just feel mean! I try to remind myself it's probably hormones but that makes me cry. Glad I'm not alone!

    I'm actually ridiculously irritated with one of my colleagues. Actually, pretty close to my bestfriend. I feel evil some days. But otherwise, I'm so happy, it's almost painful. I'm in an AWFUL situation with the father, and my family is all but ready to disown me for this pregnancy and I'm incredibly happy.

    Thanks ladies, I felt like maybe I was way more out of control than everyone else.  I feel like a crazy woman!!!!  I need to start taking walks because I'm sure that'll cool me down.

    uh very relieved to read your post and the responses.  This is my first pregnancy so I have no idea if I'm "normal" or not but I have been finding that I get angry quickly at whomever.  It feels like PMS.  It sucks and the thing that usually helps during PMS is alcohol! OR, exercise, which I am doing but am starting to get too tired for that.  The tiredness doesn't help the mood either...

     

    Hope we get happier soon! :)

    i've never thought about walking off my steam. but then again i have 2 toddlers, who are always needing something!

    baths work wonders! and a nice cold drink!

    i am seriously feeling out of my mind with anger. everything pisses me off. everyone pisses me off. i work as a nurse and even my sweet little old patients are pissing me off. driving is hard because everyone else on the road is an idiot. my husband MUST love me because i am so unlovable right now. i am at 10/10 on the anger scale most of the time. i know it has to be the hormones but it doesn't really help me to NOT be angry. i am usually a very easy going, happy go lucky kind of girl, known for my cheerfulness and positive attitude. im just glad this will (hopefully) be temporary and i hope i still have some family and friends when its all over. if i make it through the next 22 weeks without killing someone, it will be a miracle.

    At work. Customers annoyed me before, I'm afraid I'll snap and say something mean now! One customer came behind the parts counter to look at a picture, even after I turned the monitor to show him from where he should be standing. Gah, personal space seems more sacred now!
