RAGE

jo727312 · January 2016

Anyone else suffering from waves of compleatly unreasonable rage? Today in the office, my colleague was eating raw carrots for lunch (wtf who does that in a pubic place anyway?) and I actually had visions of clamboring over my desk and attacking her with the nearest heavy and/or sharp object to hand. The rage is even building again as I type this.

Anyone else? Just me?

js8812 · January 2016

I eat raw baby carrots at my desk all the time. I close my office door though... so I hope no one hears me!

js8812 · January 2016

But yes, I get ragey sometimes. You're not alone.

evalynn24 · January 2016

I don't think rage from someone eating carrots is a pregnancy thing

I had a coworker who would eat almonds every.damn.day, but she didn't just pop them in her mouth. She would bite them in half and then eat the other half. It was the most nerve racking thing I have ever had to sit through. I finally said something one day "jokingly" and she got the hint and didn't do it anymore.

There are definitely other things that get me ragey while pregnant though

Kennedy0830 · January 2016

I'm raging all the time!

kimbirain · January 2016

Oh man the littlest things set off my rage button lately. You're not alone!

ayeshaohara · January 2016

I have apparently been way more emotionally in control since I got pregnant...I think it's the lack of hormonal fluctuations every month...BUT I have noticed lately when I do get upset about something I get REALLY angry and it's totally not justified. Thankfully only happened twice so far!!!

I don't want to think about anything involving carrots and pubic places!

I raged and cried at DH for getting me Mary Kay gifts for Christmas from a different consultant than the one I use (who happened to be a bridesmaid in our wedding!). I was very irrational though.

THIS. Me too!

JennyS86 · January 2016

I went through a ragey - phase while it seemed like everyone else on here was going through the teary phase

The last week or so has been much better. Or maybe just because we went to stay with my parents/family over the long weekend. Nothing like Mama's cooking.

AdorkablePixie · January 2016

I eat raw carrots at work with my lunch daily... But now I'm going to be super careful not to chew loudly. haha

i get ragey too, especially if I'm even just a little hungry.

Kurrant · January 2016

I get really ragey and grumpy when hungry mostly. The other day DH and I were out for my OB appointment and we also had his haircut booked an hour and a bit after that. We had previously discussed having lunch between the two but DH got a bit lost. Once I realized we wouldn't be having lunch till after the haircut I turned into the Sulk-a-nator . . . I was so grumpy and sulky till I got some food in me.

pantherkiss0586 · January 2016

My husband threw out two tins of Christmas goodies without telling me. The rage was very real

kp90 · January 2016

Like road rage? Yep. I get this on a daily basis. Or in the grocery store when people don't get out of my way! ...Sigh... nothing like an angry, POed pregnant woman. At least we kind of have an excuse for the next few months.

PYLWhammy · January 2016

Am I the only one who feels, well, normal? I just hate the idea that all pregnant women are unstable emotionally.

kp90 · January 2016

I wouldn't say all pregnant women are emotionally unstable.. especially on a board titled "RAGE".
Ha, but seriously.. with all our hormones running wild unfortunately sometimes that's 'normal' during pregnancy. Its not every day, all day... or I'm pretty sure SO would've kicked me to the curb by now. Just something most pregnant women experience at some point or another.

vinerie · January 2016

I can't say I've felt rage-ey. But boy have I crumbled into a hot mess of tears. I've cried more in the past month than I have cried in the past 5 years. Not being an emotionally volatile person in general, I pretty much feel ridiculous, too. But after a cry I feel better. It's like an outlet for pent-up energy. I suppose crying has replaced spin class for me :-/

laurenmdrn16 · January 2016

I have found that my normal "angry" reaction (stiff upper lip and then breaking down in sobs when alone) has been replaced with a much more outspoken, take no guff, my way or the highway attitude at work. I think it is the Mama Bear in me that causes me to stand up for myself a lot more. I take my lunch breaks with no apology now and leave right on time without any guilt. I do find I have very little patience when I realize someone is trying to take advantage of me or pile their work on my plate and I have flat out said "Nope, that is not my job" to a few things which I normally would've just heaped on my to-do list.

Horribly and embarrassingly, the only people I have legit lost my temper at are MH and my son. When my son is all whiney and dragging in the morning, I find I need to work extra hard to keep my cool and am internally screaming at him. And sometimes I will look at MH, just sitting on the couch, and feel an incredible urge to pick a fight over something tiny (like the dishes in the sink or papers on the kitchen table). I have to constantly check myself and ask if this is really an issue or if I am blowing something out of proportion. I never want to get to the point where it is like "The Pregnant Lady who Cried YOU NEVER DO ANYTHING AROUND THE HOUSE!" because I don't think it is fair to devalue any real concerns or issues that may come up by just brushing them off as pregnancy hormones. But, let's be real, there is some crazy stuff going on in our bodies and it is ok to acknowledge that it does wacky things to mood and reactions.

js8812 · January 2016

Let the rage ensue!

jo727312 · January 2016

Unacceptable!

I was fairly level last time around. This time around I go from zero to stabby in about 2.3 seconds.

Bluejay3030 · January 2016

Listening to people chew--carrots, chips, nuts, you name it--makes me ragey even when I'm not pregnant...

JessicaB0627 · January 2016

I had a rage moment last night with DH. Every time he moves when we're laying in bed it makes me shake all over the place! I've never noticed it before last night but I was so angry!

BuzzBee614 · January 2016

Last pregnancy I was okay. This one I rage at DH all the time. I'm usually blunt with him, but fairly level headed. Now I fly off the handle all the time. I'm not embarrassed. I'm pregnant. I calm down quickly and then we're fine.

This! I feel you. But I swear mine does it on purpose. He like literally flips and flops in the bed and invades my sides of the bed and all the while I'm bouncing all over the place and it's super uncomfortable for my belly. I wanted to give him a kick in the rear.

Myzticsunshine · January 2016

Every one looks more stupid to me when I'm pregnant.

Or maybe people are actually just getting pretty stupid.

But it's defffffinitely been much harder to tolerate in silence lol

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one! If DH has a crunchy snack, he always insists that I have some too so that I'm not just hearing him chew and getting silently irritated.
Edited because words are hard sometimes lately.

LOL. I force myself to eat whatever H is snacking on so I don't flip out on him.

Latest ragey moment, a fellow pregnant acquaintance on social media posting every hour about her pregnancy. I'm sorry if this is any of you, but I am not exaggerating when I say she posts every hour or two a day, and the day she "revealed" the baby's sex she made sure to update everyone from 9am (before her appt) to 8pm (when she finally revealed the sex) with random pictures of her at baby stores holding up pink and blue items, balloons, etc as if she were teasing everyone because WE'RE ALL DYING TO KNOW. I'm happy for you, however, this is excessive, lady! Don't get me wrong, as a FTM I am just as excited to be knocked up and happy for her, however, posting daily about normal pregnancy related feelings is more than enough. Isn't that what a Bump board is for??? Maybe I'm too ragey and judgey..

Sounds STFUparents-worthy!

bgoodwin4 · January 2016

I'm raging over work. Was promised a promo in the fall of 2014 and again at my mid year review. Moved my life across country for my job in June at the request of the company. Promo announcements came out two days before Xmas and I wasn't promoted. No warning. No heads up. No good explanation (I asked if it was a performance issue). Can't help but wonder if my pending maternity leave was taken into account in the decision:/ ugh corporate America, you suck. Bummed.

Mrs Sweet Tea · January 2016

Oh, my officemate's phones!! She is such a nice person but who the heck needs their ringer "ON" on their cell phone during the work day when it is sitting right next to her on her desk. Also, her office phone ringer is turned all the way up. WTH! I have ADHD and sharing an office is hard enough already without having to listen to her phones.

Don't even get me started on driving. I am not a native of where we are currently living and the people here are the worst drivers I have ever seen in my life! People seem great here for the most part until they get in a car, then they are awful human beings. So much rage.

And is it just me, or are the ones who leave their ringers on ALWAYS the ones with the most obnoxious ringtones?

H0neyC0mb · January 2016

I definitely went through a rage phase couple weeks ago. Right now I'm going through an anti social phase which is so unlike me. Could be caused by all the stress lately.

rlworzalla · January 2016

My rage is kind of strange...I have noticed that I cannot STAND the smoochy-short kissing noises when couples kiss on TV. And when they keep doing it.....Just kiss already damnit! I've literally considered throwing the remote a few times.... I know I'm strange

Mrs Sweet Tea · January 2016

@PYLWhammy You are so right!

I'm going to go with yes. There's a person in my office that leaves their phone turned up all the time (actually several, but that's another story) who gets text messages ALL DAY LONG and all the time. And on top of that... he has the most irritating tone for it. Everyone always stares at him and he never gets the hint. Honestly I don't know how people do it and not feel bad. If my phone goes off accidentally so much as even once bc I forget to turn off the ringer I feel like a jerk.

My rage is coming from my MIL. She is staying with us until the end of the month.Normally all is cool but every single day my kitchen gets destroyed because she insists on cooking and over boils everything. Add that to the list of crumbs everywhere and comments that rub me the wrong way (which I normally could tolerate) leaves me needing alone time so I don't blow a gasket.
