Pregnancy hormone rage.. tell me I'm not alone

I've always had a short temper but lately I'm out of control!

Sunday we went to the grocery store and the person in line ahead of me was moving really slow because he was trying of to find a shorter line. I literally cut in front of him and pushed him with my shoulder and said "get outta my way."

Then today I honked (not a nice honk) at the person at the drive thru ATM because they were taking too long. And never mind my road rage!

DH is embarrassed but more worried and says I'm going to mess with the wrong person one day. I really feel like the hulk when my switch is flipped! All I see is red and can't control myself. Anyone else experiencing this or have any tips?

    oh yes, the #struggleisreal ! Last night I asked my husband if maybe he could "try to pay attention to life" moving forward. hahah! 

    Followed by losing it in the car to the lovely person behind me who honked me - right as my foot was going from break to gas pedal - within a split second of the light changing.

    Good times!

    The road rage has been awful. I'm glad I'm not the only one. I fully expected to be emotional and weepy, which hasn't happened, I didn't expect to be so angry. Lol. The drive to work at 5 AM and getting enraged at the few cars on the road at that time of morning, whether they are tailgating, driving too slow or hesitating at the yellow light. It makes me want to lose it. And the drive back at 6:30 PM is worse. pedestrians crossing the road in the middle of a green light, more traffic, bicyclers not heeding the law of the road. It makes me mad just thinking about all this.
    I hope it eases up soon. Lol

    Guilty here ... Sent the babies father out of the city for work ( he had two choices) because I can't stand him..

    I thought I would be a crier too but man, I rage really fast! It's so bad in the car, like last week when I was driving in stop and go traffic on the highway I left space between me and the car in front of me because cars kept slamming on their breaks... I wanted to be able to stop in time. Well, people kept cutting in front of me!!! I was trying to be safe and didn't want to rear end someone and I just lost it. I honked and screamed like I'd been taken over by demons! DH asked if I needed to pull over I was so mad! I think I scared him, haha.

    I haven't even mentioned my boyfriend. Poor guy has literally done nothing but be sweet and caring the whole time we've been together, and it's doubled since we got pregnant. I swear he's the maternal one. I have to make him drive everywhere because I get too angry on the road then I get angry at him over everything else that doesn't need to be thought twice about. I would so much rather be weepy than this. I was so levelheaded, calm and collected before the hormones. Those were the days.

    Oh yes I'm enraged as well most days. My husband jokes I have a "pregnancy attitude" and I regularly say that I hate everything and everyone lol

    I'm lucky in that I have not developed a temper at all. But i DO seem to suddenly get teary when i get frustrated. Which is really weird for me. And the weirdest things frustrate me. Loud noises. Late dinner. Missing buttons. If people talk too much, I want to cry. 

    Other than that (and i don't get frustrated a lot.. just when i do, it's at weird things and makes me cry) I am not feeling any different than normal, thank god. I figure i'll make up for it in my third trimester when i'm all fat and angry.
