Help I'm going crazy

[JHAMOM]

I have had some major mood swings lately. I can be in a happy friendly mood one minute and the next something really little sets me off and I'll get angry for no reason and then I get upset because there is nothing to be angry at. For instance, last night I was fine until Dustin said he was leaving soon to go to his dad's and then to hockey and I just totally went from okay to lashing out at him saying stupid stuff like alright whatever guess I'll just talk to people online?!? Retarted I know. I really don't go online much after work anyway. I don't know why I was so upset with him. And then I couldn't let it go. And I can tell he senses it but doesn't try to get into an argument. Ugh =( My moods don't just change around him. They change in front of my son too =( So I know it's not Dustin. I take out frusterations at both of them. The only thing I can think of is these damn BC pills. Ever since I switched to them I've been super bitchy. I hate it. I don''t feel like myself and I'm beginning to obsess about it. Which I know is silly. But I don't want to hurt anyones feelings. I'm a mess. Please anyone out there ever felt the same????

Feb. 7, 2008 at 12:21 PM no i've never felt the same way but don't think ur retarded or silly because wat's goin on w/ u is dat UR STRESSED! stressed out really bad & u jus don't know how to control it because ur overwhelmed by it. if ur a person dat always seem to be in CONTROL of everything that goes on in ur life, now dat ur stress is getting out of hand & ur blowing things out of proportion it's killing u, making u act this way. wat u have to do is try & control ur anger, & not the stress. & one's u complete that THEN u move to ur stress. take a 'mommies day out' to walk or go to the spa or even go get a pedicure. & wen u get back u should be a bit calmer & ur brain will get a chance to process everything the way it should've in the 1st place. GOOD LUCK!

Oh yeah, and if you want to~ Go to your Dr! I am going on the 14th~ I have been tired, irritable and cranky for a while now and I am suspect of my birthcontrol pills~

Just a thought!

I know the feeling! It's horrible. I'm not on BC or anything. I had a tubal several months ago. I just think that my hormones are whacked. I am happy one min and can get depressed/ mean in a second. All my hubby has to do is say one wrong thing.

I try not to lash out in front of my kids but sometimes but I do. I know... bad mom RIGHT? I beat myself up over it afterwards. I guess we all have our ups and downs... good days and bad days. Just know that you are not alone. It is something that I struggle with from time to time. Sometimes just getting some time for myself works... Being a mom is a stressful job!!
