Hormonal surges

jandkpaden · May 2018

Everyday around 1:00 i feel myself get super witchy. I seem to lose all patience with everyone for about 2 hours or so. My dogs drive me crazy. I feel completely short with my husband and toddler. Is anyone else having this issue? What do you do? I hate being so short with people.

I try and recognize when I'm being witchy and distance myself from others as much as possible.

Is there anything that calms you down usually? I tend to put on music and power clean by myself.. by power clean I mean literally throw clothes from the floor into the hamper/washer, remake my bed, throw trash and go through stuff. some people find working out helps i don't know what your schedule looks like or if working out at 1 is probably for you though.. cooking, knitting, reading, sitting outside and counting to ten, wash dishes, take a shower, etc.

Are you able to take some “me” time? Even a 20 minute break might help you to reset.

Also- are you getting enough to eat? Maybe break your meals into smaller snacks through the day. Also- make sure they are balanced, and not a lot of sugary junk food.

The same thing happens to me. If we run over naptime I am not nice. It's hard when you have a little person who doesn't get that he needs to hurry the eff up.

I feel like it's normal for someone to become touched out after a while. Especially when you're brimming with an excess of hormones.

For me, I get bad anxiety when I eat too many carbs or when I'm in certain social settings (major introvert), so focusing on eating more veggies/fat, and avoiding stressful things (intense, darker TV shows) helps. We had a bunch of people over yesterday for the sex reveal and it really hit me hard after. But #1 thing I do is to let my husband know how I'm feeling, because it really helps let him know a) it's nothing he did and b) how he can help. I think communication is key and can really go a long way. And if that means telling your family you need some me time, then do it!

Yesterday I was mad at DH (for something that was equally his and my fault) and I stomped around the house muttering to myself. I knew even in the moment I was acting crazy but I couldn't stop it. I was having a little bitch fit pity party....not cute.
Luckily my kids were napping and DH was not in the house...so it was just me and my shameful pouting....but still I don't feel great about it.

@MissBridg This was my entire weekend. I realized that when the dog, toddler, and husband were all making me mad continuously that it was probably me, but I couldnt shake it! Poor hubby.

Thanks everyone! We foster Siberian Huskies and we had an 8 month old puppy at our house who desperately needed training. As it turns out, that was the extra stress that my hormones couldn't handle. Now that the she has gone on to her forever home, my surges are more manageable.
