Mood swings and increased snarkiness

CGOODPAS · September 2014

I have always been a bluntly honest person with much tolerance for drama or bs. I used to think I was realistic and rational but sometimes my mood swings drive me crazy. Literally I feel like a crazy neurotic brainless flake. My husband is understanding goes with the flow when I go from normal to crazy bitch in five seconds. (Which usually leads to crying because I know that I'm being irrational and emotional).

Seriously some days I annoy myself so much I can't stand myself because I am needy or emotional and it isn't something I am used too.

Any have any good ideas for dealing with mood swings? Or a funny story to share??

I know this will sound horrible but I looked at my husband in bed the other day and said "sweetheart I love you, but i really just wanna punch in the face for some reason." Obviously I never would but I can def relate. I love to read sometimes that helps when I'm in a bad mood. Or even like to indulge in a little treat, thats a great pick me up.

I leave the room when I feel a flare up coming on our I'd I can't get away from DH I give him a play by play of the emotions while I'm yelling at him for whatever reason. He loves and hates it at the same time. It's funny and nice to know what I'm thinking but he doesn't like being yelled at. It goes like this:

"You drank the last juice that I wanted and I'm irrationally angry about that. I want to stomp and yell and break things because I'm so mad about this juice. Now I'm super sad because I don't have any juice and that's all I want. I've been looking forward to that juice and was excited but now I'm sad and mad and confused because I don't understand why this is such a serous issue since we live 5 minutes from the store and can go get one. "

Thank you for this. I was so happy when I woke up today and now I hate everyone and everything. Can I go back to bed and start over again?

I have had those moments too!! It is nice to know it isn't just me

@schnitz9‌, I've done that.

The husband made the mistake of eating my last blueberry granola bar and leaving the empty box in the pantry. I got super angry over not being able to indulge in my favorite snack.

That conversation wasn't as civil as yours!!

I am sort of nutso with other people since getting pg... so far not with DH though - he is my only ally. Like If I see someone smoking and I have to walk by them I get extremely enraged. Or one night the outdoor public pool near our house was playing music and I could hear it and I got so mad and called the cops, when I am usually pretty easy going. Or if MIL makes one more comment about the shape of my stomach or anyone tries to touch my stomach, I think I will end up in jail.

Ohhh @schnitz9, reading is a great suggestion. I need to find me some uplifting fiction.

My poor kids get the brunt of my mood swings. I wonder if they think I'm psychotic, or if all moms just act like that sometimes. Yeah.

I got mad about how much stuff was in the shower last night so I threw everything extra over the top and made a crap ton of noise doing it. DH thought I fell or something, came in, saw the stuff, laughed, left, then came back with a trash bag. "Is pregnant hulk calm now?" haha I busted out laughing. He's taking my crazy in stride, I have no idea why the stuff that's been there since I got pregnant was suddenly too much but I lost it.

I had a conversation with my DH last night about him not taking my food cravings seriously and it makes me very upset. It has happened multiple times where I'm craving dinner somewhere and he doesn't want to eat there and we have to go elsewhere. We will get there and then he gets frustrated because I don't want anything to eat where we went. What the deuce does he expect? It makes me want to punch him in the face.

I don't feel like I'm snarkier than usual, but my reaction to things that would bother me before has increased. Like my cousin-in-law misspelling my name again? Yeah, I threw the mail hard to the floor that day. And when I feel slighted at work? I have to go for a walk and take deep breaths before I burst into tears in my office.

My husband doesn't get any of my anger, though. We're both on the same snark/mood wavelength 99% of the time. So it's just him and me, MST3King the world.

My bf not as much (though we work together so I guess he gets some of this too) but I'm even more of a ball buster at work than I was previously. Part of this might because work is a mess right now...if people are breaking the rules or not pulling their weight; I just have no tolerance for it.
