The rage is real, y'all.

I am 23 weeks today, and I'm feeling....


RAGE.

All the time. I want to kill everyone. I am so annoyed just by people being in the same room as me. There are about 3 people in this whole world that don't make me crazy just by existing.
I know this sounds extreme, and I know it will pass. (Don't worry. I'm not going to kill anyone for real. Also, it's not uncontrollable.)

I'm also not seeking advice. I just want to hear from others with this issue, and if you wanna rant, here's a safe place to do it. GO!

Re: The rage is real, y'all.

  • I feel you completely. On Monday, I felt uncontrollable rage towards my spin instructor for making class so hard (it was the same as always). Then I went to the airport to pick up my husband from a trip he was on and he didn't bring me the donut I had requested and I kinda lost it.

  • I was just saying to my fiancé yesterday that I'm always in an awful mood and hate everyone!  Its like PMS all day, everyday!  Luckily he is one of the few people not bothering me.  I think I'm more tried than I want to admit and this is not helping.
  • I've been very moody the last 2 weeks. The worst moodiness this whole pregnancy. I'm 21 weeks.
  • I am right there with you! I was 23 weeks yesterday. At work the past week I just found myself being completely annoyed and furious with everyone. It's not just you.
  • Oh yes. I'm either emailing clients or working one on one with clients all day, and any excuses they make, last minute schedule changes they request (why is your lack of planning my fault...?) are making me crazy. In finding it so hard to have the same energy and positivity that I did before. Also I thought DH's hair smelled weird last night and I wouldn't snuggle with him as a result. :/
  • My DH straight up told me that I've been moody and "out of sorts" for weeks and I should really try to be more positive. If we hadn't been talking about something else, I would have killed him. I hurt you ass. I'm tired, I hurt, and you're telling me to be more positive?

  • Amen!!! The littlest things tick me off. So bad that sometimes I have to take a step back and laugh because it is so unlike me!! Out of curiousity, what are you other ladies having? Multiple people have told me I'm like this because of all the new testosterone I have running through me (I'm having a boy).

    I'm surprised he's still living. My coworkers are sure suffering. I told someone today that if I had a bag of potatoes in my hand, I would have swung it and smacked a colleague in the face with it. But...at least the imagery of that cheered me up a bit. Imagining all of these retaliations do make me feel a bit better.

  • I'm "feisty" normally (as my husband says) so I've been an absolute rage monster lately. And I'm having two girls, so it's not the testosterone! Although I'm pretty sure my girls will have the feisty gene...

    I got pissed today because the school I work at had a couple parents parked out front in the bus pickup area. It wasn't even my problem, I was just angry that anybody would be so entitled to think they don't have to follow the rules.
  • @Scullahoo My son did the same thing with his fists, just at our 12w scan! Then last week at the anatomy scan, lots of other punching and hard kangaroo kicks. (Kind of similar to what I picture doing to all these people that make me angry, LOL)
  • I love my dogs like children. But one of them pissed in the house last night and I was ready to remove both their collars and kick them out the front door. I spent all day fuming with rage at them. Of course, when I got home from work and they were all happy to see me, I was furious with their unconditional love.
  • I also hate everyone. I am not moody. I have one mood. Irritated.
  • I didn't notice this until I started thinking about it... I've been particularly lacking in grace for others this last week. I'm in college, and I started a Facebook group page for people in my major because there are only 4 different professors, and everyone seems to assume that I have every syllabus and due date memorized. I want to strangle every person who messages me about how to turn in late assignments that they were given a week to do. 1. I don't care that grandma Margaret had her gallbladder removed so you missed the deadline. You had an entire week leading up to that to do the work. 2. I can literally do NOTHING for you.
  • I am so relieved to read this post!! I was beginning to worry when the "maternal instincts" will kick in cause all that I can feel is the "warrior" instincts!! At one point I threw the TV remote cause after flipping numerous channels I couldn't find any to my liking. After I saw threw the remote I just sat there stunned at having done that!!! Now whenever I feel that kind of rage again (driving, waiting in a queue etc) I just deep breathe and in my head I am saying, "Don't do the remote again, your child can hear you (I am 22weeks)."
  • I have so much rage on a daily basis. There aren't many people who don't infuriate me at some point in the day. We found out the sex on Thursday and my boyfriend decided to post it on Facebook along with my favourite name choice, without telling me first. I pretty much lost my shit and spent the next 12 hours or so hating his guts.

    YASSSS!

  • I am 23 weeks too and flipped out because someone beeped at me after I was in stand still traffic for 30 Minutes! Then I cried. I am normally not this crazy. Hormones I guess! You are not alone!
  • I don't know why but the rage just turned on a couple of days ago like a switch was flipped.  Three idiot guys ran right in front of my car last night instead of using the crosswalk 10 feet away from them, and I had to slam on my brakes to avoid killing them and I was ON FIRE with rage about it.  I almost followed them to their destination and yelled at them but I counted to ten and kept driving.  But it was intense.

    And my poor husband tried to take the brita pitcher away from me before I was done refilling my glass and I was like NO.  Like in a voice you would use to scold a dog.  I am hoping the rage will level off because I can't be a psycho like this for the next 20 weeks, haha.
  • I was the same way 2 months ago and had to go get on depression meds to calm me down. Now im not so irritable and psycho lol
  • Yep I want to be alone in my grumpiness! My husband figures I need to stop getting so mad at things he says. I say maybe he shouldn't say stupid useless things to me, like why I hung the wet bath mat over the railing to dry instead of just putting it in the dryer
  • I also get angry super easily. I'm appalled at the fact that other humans are allowed out at the same time as me! I'm having a boy, he literally flicked us off during the anatomy ultrasound... So maybe he is adding to my anger
  • My rage seems to be occurring mostly when I'm driving. Everyone is an idiot on the road and I scream at stupid people every time I'm there in the car. And I am normally a very calm person...and honestly, my drive to work is usually only five minutes. But there is always someone doing something that ticks me off. So weird.
  • I had another meltdown yesterday. I was in the Steak and Shake drive thru, and they handed me my bag of food (burgers and fries) and told me it would be just a minute on our milkshakes. 6 minutes later, I am fuming, thinking about how cold my fries are going to be, and the manager passes me the first milkshake. In such a way that I have no choice to grab it by the lid. Result? Half a milkshake all over the center console of the car. I'm totally furious, but calmly ask her for some napkins (since I got NONE with my cold food.) She says, "Yeah, our lids don't stay on very well." I THINK AFTER THE FACT IS TOO LATE TO TELL SOMEONE ABOUT THAT. I told her this much, and she was like, "Oh, do you want a new shake?" I said, no, that I didn't have all damn day to wait on that when my food was getting cold. I then insisted on getting new fries, since we were going on the ten minute mark, and I still had to drive home. She handed me a new bag, and because I was so cranky, wet, and sticky, I didn't look in the bag. I did cry all the way home.
    I went home, handed the bag to my husband and warned him not to complain about one darn thing about his food, or he could possibly die. I then open the replacement bag of fries, and she gave me one cold order in exchange for the two that were in the original bag. (I suspect the fries were all from the same bag, since I live 3 minutes away, and all three were hard and chewy, and barely even room temperature. I take one look in that bag, and see only one order, and I seriously, fall to the floor into the fetal position and start bawling about it. My poor husband had to coax me upstairs and put me in bed!
  • YES. I don't like people anymore. I work for a Primary Care Doctor and usually our patients don't bother me, but recently they're annoying. All the people who are 40 minutes late with no excuse or the nosy ones. Or the ones who want to touch my belly! I don't know you, do not touch my stomach. I just can't. People irritate me now so bad. I thought I was just being ridiculous, but now I see I'm not alone. Thank God!

  • First day of teaching this year... this morning, everything fine: nice pupils and colleagues...at this point of time, I think I don't hate the world anymore...but then first meeting of the year and after three hours (!!!!) on a chair that is everything else but confortable, a director thinking it's a one man show, an overcrowded room with literaly no space to move a bit and an empty stomach (which is already in itself very dangerous for everybody around)... the rage is back!!!!!
