Anybody else angry and short tempered?

Dishylo · July 2013

I've read through some of the posts here and can't see any trends towards anger and short tempered.....is anybody else finding this?

I'm worried it's going to start affecting my job. I manage 9 people in the local office, and 8 in two other offices and whilst they all know I'm pg, I'm not sure they understand what I'm going through.

I've had some really stupid questions asked of me in the past few days and I'm finding it really hard to not shake my head and say "are you frikking' serious?!" which is what I want to say! Instead I'll answer the question but my answers are quite blunt. Luckily I haven't gotten short with DH yet but I have with Molly-dog who isn't a fan either lol.

Anybody else angry? Any STM finds this with previous pregnancies? Does it go away soon?!

Lord the irritability and angst has runneth over! I am in the same boat and really hope this simmers down soon! Good luck trying not to flip over the stupid questions, I have started counting before responding which is sort of working for me.

DamnPrecious · July 2013

Yes, I tend not to post really shitty stuff that I think.

I am, but I try to keep it out of work, which can be hard because I feel most of my customers are angry in the industry I work in. Fortunately I have a mother who lets me call and vent to her on a daily basis on my way home from work so I can generally be happy when I get home haha. But I do feel my patience for stupidity has be on the shorter end lately!

I am definitely more irritable lately but I like to think that is because my MIL is driving me nuts!

I manage about 7 people in my group, 6 male, 1 female. Most of the males in my group are just out of college and entry level so I am sure there is some comfort issues with me announcing I was pregnant. Either way it is extra important for me to keep my mood swings out of my work life as much as possible. If I am finding I am extra sensitive I literally have to force myself and remind myself that I need to alter and watch my responses. I give myself frequent reality checks and always try to remember how I would like to be treated by my boss, pregnant or not.

Amen to the road rage lately I have been experiencing every twit possible on my way home, when I'm ravenous and I know that DH has made whatever I requested that I am drooling over! I also cannot stop watching my rear-view mirror just waiting for some douche on their phone (or putting on mascara--yes I witnessed this yesterday) to slam into me.

I have such a short fuse lately, particularly with DH. I get mad at him for not being home (when he's at work - like he has a choice in the matter) and then when he is home I get mad at him for really stupid stuff. Fortunately he takes things in stride.

I don't remember being this short tempered when I was pregnant with DS, so I'm really hoping that it goes away soon!

Lol, my husband says that he's absolutely sure it's his kid in me, because I'm so short tempered. That's a trait that runs in his family, and I'm usually the calm "talk it out" type of person. Nope, I go straight to yelling now and I'll snap at him instead of holding my tongue.

hurricanekb · July 2013

I've always had bad road rage, but lately it has been WAAY worse. Husband just laauuuughsand lauuuughs

TODAY!!!! Honestly, today I'm just annoyed and irritated. Maybe it's the influx of stupid questions and people not following instructions but...oye- today I kind of don't want to answer my phone anymore. and it's not even 11am yet! EESH! I've been able to keep it at bay for the most part (catching myself before I say exactly what my brain thinks) and it's taking a lot more extra energy today.... thank God it's Friday, is all I have to say!!!

Dishylo · July 2013

Yikes @ashleywiz where are you located that it's 11am?

I just had some absolute imbocile call me about a work matter and start yelling at me. And I'm the client!! I sat in shock for a few minutes and then the angry switch went on. I'm now planning on how to phone and tell his boss what an idiot his employee is and that we won't be dealing with them again if I have to speak to nit-wit anymore. SeriouslY!?!?

ashleywiz · July 2013

@Dishylo, I'm in Honolulu.

I would just crap if I got a call from someone I was a client of and they yelled at me! EESH! What's been getting on my nerves is I receive and e-mail from a student... then LITERALLY less than a minute later they call me asking if I got the e-mail and is it fixed... WTF!!!! I don't sit around and wait for e-mails to pop up in my inbox...sheeeesh! Plus they aren't even urgent questions/problems- that would be different, but no- it's about stuff that quite frankly is not an emergency of any kind.

Luckily, my wonderful hubby is taking me to lunch and I finally get my hot dog (since the hot dog topping post I've wanted one) today! WOO! haha something to look forward to today!!

Dishylo · July 2013

I've also been wanting a hot dog since national hot dog day. Maybe that might calm me down..

halfthetree · July 2013

I am pretty quick to snap, but not nearly as bad as I was when I had my Mirena in, I was a psycho bitch with that thing!!
To cope I exercise and breathe deep before saying something lol

Sywilson · July 2013

I work for a furniture import company and some of the stupid questions people ask really irritates me. They have most of the answers in the catalogue we give out. They usually call and ask is somehow come in a certain size but if they open the catalogue is says all the sizes that we have!!

Some things on this board irritates me ha ha ha. Nothing on this post at all but some people posts and other people reactions to them. I know it should not irritate me but it does.

Me! Me! Me! I tend to be a moody person in general but this pregnancy I am so quick to snap and my poor DH usually takes the brunt of it. I don't think I was like this when I was pregnant with DD, I think I was more emotional with her. It doesn't help having a toddler run around to test your patience either.

Dishylo · July 2013

Haha @Amylou. I'm feeling a lot of that right now.

My friend who was supposed to move out tomorrow and stay with us for 11 days before moving back to the UK just FB emailed me to tell me she's moving out today, going to stay with another friend so she doesn't get in our way and that we need to come and get a few bits from her flat that are ours.

Problem being that we have appointments from 9:30-4 today so unless she can wait until 4, it ain't gonna happen! It's taking all of the patience I have not to tell her how selfish she is and that she could have told us sooner, asked us about our stuff earlier etc. ugh!!

wifetomrb101 · July 2013

Yes and yes! My fuse is super short. I find I get short with DD, although I don't yell at her, I find it hard to keep her entertained because I just.don't.feel.like.playing. I know that if I'd just sit and play with her for 20 minutes she'd be fine, and she hangs on me because she wants to play (and because she's teething,blah). But it's so hard to find motivation for anything! Then I get frustrated with myself and my fuse gets shorter...and shorter...and shorter. Thankfully DH is a teacher and is home for the summer.

Mommasay0 · July 2013

I have the shortest fuse ever I pretty much hate myself right now bc I just don't have the patience for my 2 kids. Most days I find myself struggling just to be nice to my kids. I was not like this at all with my previous pregnancies but this time I'm always mad about something.

BrittNR · July 2013

Yes! Just found out my sister ate what I had brought home yesterday for me to eat as lunch today. Who eats a pregnant woman's food... Really!? Who does that!? So now I'm hungry and don't feel like driving the 20 min into town ( we live in the country) so I'm just sitting here eating crackers. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
