Alright ladies, it's taken me quite a bit to admit this, but I've been noticing some horrid mood swings in the last six months. It usually goes something like this:
Husband says something insensitive and rather than let it roll off my shoulder, I pent it up for a few hours and then unleash in a whirlwind of tears and such shortly before bed causing me to stay up and continue crying about everything else in the world that hurts my feelings.
What in the world is up with this and what have you guys done/should I do to help control them?
It's hard because I realize that yes, my feelings were hurt or whatever and that I'm just over-reacting because my hormones are screwed up, but that doesn't allow me to gain control over them, you know?

going through that right now. im becoming very moody and irrational, and i know partly its the GnRh and my fiance asks me if ive taken my medication now cause i turn into a diff person and get worked up argumentative then i cry and say sorry.
i went to the dr last night and burst into tears. i told him i cant deal with the diarrhea, work, my moodiness the medication and then he gave me some anti depressants!!!
i feel like my head is all cloudy at the moment and i also feel like a giant failure.
hope it gets better for you though hugs x

I can totally relate... my bf is about to kill me lol I cry at everything, or I get really mad and upset and dumb things then cry.. or just flip on him for something he did yesterday that made me mad... i was told to see a phsyciatrist by my OBGYN, but I refuse to ask for a referral cuz that feels like I am accepting the fact that im crazy. But its just the meds!! ugh oh and btw i am really sick of taking everything extra personal.. if someone looks at me wrong i think they hate me and get all mad ugh ugh ugh

Thank you both! It makes me feel so much better to know that I'm not the only one. There are just times that I'm so...touchy for lack of better word and my husband told me last night that I need to "dry it the f*** up and control myself." Well, that's the wrong thing to say. I told him I can't control it and that since he knows I'm like this, he should be the one to try to watch what he says. Psh, jerk.
I don't want to go on antidepressants or anything because my body reacts weirdly to almost anything and we're currently trying to conceive (still). Are we doomed to sedatives forever?

ive been on antidepressents for years now, but they dont really seem to do anything but put me through withdrawl when i come off them.. they keep changing them which was why i was referred to a psychiatrist (bc of all the meds im on he will know what to put me on to make me sane i guess).... but i think that the boys in our lives, who know what we go through (sort of) on a daily basis should be more sensitive... or maybe just do what I say ALL the time and we would be ok.. haha
