suddenly dislike ALL of my friends, even the besties

Hi ladies, so I have a group of friends that are great, but for some reason I can not stand to be around them recently. Friendsgiving last week was hell. And We went to play off road golf this afternoon with a big group of them and I wanted to high five everyone in the face with a metal folding chair! I'm normally a very kind person and tolerate their side comments very well (some of them are much older and think they know everything about everything). But today was the last straw. Instead of totally freaking out (which I really wanted to do) and embarrassing DH, I used my 6.5 year old daughter as an excuse to go home and I left DH there so he could play and not have to listen to me go off for no apparent reason. Because I really can't come up with a reason as to why I'm acting like a spoiled child. I also yelled at DH today when we left Walmart because some security guy was "checking receipts" like at Costco. Who gets mad at the sweet old security guard and takes it out in DH?! My ms has been horrible and I've been having a really hard time relaxing and just being happy. Any advice?

Re: suddenly dislike ALL of my friends, even the besties

  • I wish I had advice but I am right there with you. I am ready to dump all of my friends, even my besties, I freaking hate everyone. They are all so selfish, DH has been driving me crazy too, when I know he isn't doing anything wrong. Ughh. I have no tolerance anymore, things I used to let go, I am a VERY tolerant person also.. it gets to me so bad. Good luck! Hoping this phase will go away

  • @sailorchels let me tell you, I told my bestie and the baby's dad that the baby must not like them because I cannot stand to be near them. I mean my best friend gets on my nerves so bad. I hate to even see her name pop up on my phone. I hope I feel differently after the baby comes.I yell at everyone! I think we get a pass to be assholes
  • Been going through the same thing. No advice, but it will pass. I've had to force myself to be nice to anyone and have kept to myself a lot more.
  • I'm in the same boat, I see certain names pop up on my phone and am instantly in a bad mood and have been a bit of a hermit recently. Even my mom, who I normally get along with very well, has been irking me lately, its awful.
  • I feel you. I haven't been too bad with H or my friends but Holy cow my mom has been on my ever last nerve constantly for the last few weeks for no apparent reason. I literally was irate the other day when she showed up unannounced to my house with donuts. What!? We don't have the best relationship by any means but I literally feel myself cringing when I see her name pop up my phone. I can definitely tell a difference.
  • This happened in my first two pregnancies and this one is the same. It was horrible! I would cancel plans because I couldn't stand to be around people I normally like. I also hate anyone calling me to chat. I normally take my boys out after schoo to various things several days a week and I can't do any of it. My second pregnancy I was working during it and I had the worst worst time getting along with this one woman. I never had issues at work before! So glad I'm not working now for that reason. I can't tolerate anyone. And from experience it got worse after baby came but then eventually went away.
  • I'm glad I'm not alone. This is DHs first and I just feel like he has no idea what's going on with my crazy and I have very limited self control. I'm hoping once we make an official announcement this will subside. As of now only 2 or 3 ftiends know and that's because they grew wise to my declining drinks at friendsgiving, and a few of my minor outbursts.
  • Hormones are lovely.... This too shall pass :) I usually choose to sleep it off.
  • Just hibernate to the extent possible - if you're feeling miserable, you're just going to be a drag to be around.  I can barely stand myself right now.  So I'm only doing the absolutely necessary social obligations, and then leaving as early as possible without being totally rude.  Use whatever excuse you have - kids, work, the flu, a cold, reorganizing your tupperware cabinet, whatever. 

    This will pass, soon you'll have a bump, and everyone will realize why you were MIA the past couple months.  Hang in there!
