Sensitive

It sounds like a hormonal thing to me (given that you are not "usually" like this, and you aren't going through anything particular stressful right now). It could be a pregnancy... you might want to take a test if there is a possibility- even remotely. It could just be your body adjusting...

I have depression that is aggravated by seasonal changes... so in the winter I have to make an effort to get out and get some sunlight. If you have been indoors a lot lately, maybe you could try spending a little while outside in the sun... and see if that helps.

However, if this persists for more than a week or so- go get checked by the doctor. There are all sorts of things that could be going on in your body to affect your mood. It could be a vitamin deficiency, hormonal thing, diet issue or something else. A lot of times they can check your bloodwork to find out.

Good Luck!

It doesn't seem like you are the one with the problem - your husband is! That wasn't nice of him to sarcastically say "sure they were" to you. He seems like the sensitive one - not you.

First of all, I am sorry you are feeling this way. Not having a "handle" on one's emotions is not fun.

That being said, you say you have felt like this the past few days. Could you be ready to start your oh-so-fun- period?

You are going to get a range of responses on here, from, "get over it" to "you need to be medicated" - but I think the key is to realize we all go through things like this! Allow yourself to be irritated for a few days! You work, are busy, etc. You are maybe a little stressed and emotional and guess what - that is OK every once in a while!

If this continues for weeks or months, or you start feeling other things such as sadness, despair, etc, or if this is a regular occurrence, then you may want to start looking into talking with someone. But for now, I say go work out, get a pedicure, talk to your best friend or your mom and do a few more things to make yourself feel better.

Talk with hubby and let him know you are feeling this way - he could try to be a little more sensitive to you until it passes. If it doesn't pass, you two can address it together.

Best wishes.

Sounds like PMS to me...Hope you get better soon.

As you get older your hormones are much more disruptive to your mood. Figure out at what point in your cycle you are-this could be what is causing it. I get crazy at PMS time and ovulation. Never used to be that bad-probably started mid 30s.

I was having a hard time with my emotions and some other things for awhile (trouble remembering things, inability to lose weight, hair loss, aches and pains, tired all the time, etc.). I just happened to go to my doctor and had a physical and got blood work done and found out that my thyroid was not working properly. I had no idea that all of those things could be related to my thyroid. I feel so much better now that I'm on my thyroid medication. How long has it been since you've been to your doctor for a physical and to have blood work done? You very well may not have the same problem as me but it's worth getting it all checked out.

I'm with Mallory. Around ovulation and two or three days befor my period I go insane! I would go and get checked out though of this continues. Hormones are a beast!

If it's only been these last few days, it's probably nothing. Just having a few off days. If this goes on for more than a couple of weeks, see your doctor. It could be something simple like hypothyroidism, which is easily treatable. If not, you could look into Atypical Depresssion. One of the symptoms is "having a more intense reaction or increased sensitivity to rejection, resulting in problems with social and work relationships" (WebMD)
Hang in there!! :)

Go to urgent care or emergency and get yourself checked out. You may be having a small stroke. Do this for yourself and your family. Don't wait, call someone and get them to drive you...go now.

Keep us posted.....

Blessings...

not saying this is it but I got mad at the smallest things and was so emotional at times. My mood was all over the place. I found out I have hyperthyroidism. It has not been an easy road but my meds have helped with my moods. I feel like a new person:) Just make sure the Dr. checks your thyroid levels.

I'm not try to trivializes what happened but I wish my problems were so small as to which side of the couch something was. I had 3 surgeries last year and am facing having a spine stimulator put in in if that doesn't work I might be in a wheel chair . There is something underlining how you feel if something so small is bothering you. I think you need to look deep into yourself and your relationship and find out what it is that's bothering you both. I also think a check up is in order make sure it's not something medical that is causing this. My prayers are with you and hope that whatever it is it is resolved.

Hormones.
Hormone imbalance.
PMS
PMDD

If you Google search "PMS" many of these symptoms comes up... and what you can do about it.

Also, IF these symptoms are "cyclical", meaning there is a pattern to it each month, then, that means you can relate it to your hormones and PMS.
Hormone triggered emotionality, can be linked to PMS if it is cyclical.

This is late sorry but I was feeling like that a few years ago and am normally more even-keeled. I mentioned it and fatigue to the dr. He said that as a working mom, it could certainly be just that, but just in case he ran a few tests and discovered that my vitamin D was critically low. One mega-dose and I felt a million times better. It was amazing. Worth checking?
