Hello all,
A few weeks ago I was really snappy with everyone. Everytime anyone says anything to me I immediately got irritated. I got so angry that I threw my keys and puse across the room and I slammed the door hard that it popped back open . I thought I broke it. Then I started to cry. I've never gotten so out out of control like that.
I felt myself getting like that today and again I have no clue why. I was just so easily irritated today. I'm wither angry or crying for no reason. I just needed to vent.
Ditto hun
Just started new HRT patch and currently having a PERIOD? Surprised, no PERIOD for months.......
Anyway feeling slightly better energy wise but a bit snappy and easily aggravated
Oh Jamie, menopause makes us crazy
I'm glad to hear you are feeling a bit better. This is just so overwhelming at times. I normally get a little irritated when my cycle comes on. But never this out of control angry. You are rite this meno stuff makes you feel so crazy at times.
Ohhhh...I've done the rage thing a few times. Thrown my glasses and broke them. Slammed our bedroom door and then it didn't close right. Good thing my fits all happened while at home, and not at work or out in public. My poor husband. Glad he's so understanding, and hasn't left me yet.
I have had just about everything from creepy crawling, itchy skin, scalp,
Aching joints, headaches
Emotional outbursts ( crying for no reason)
Excessive weight gain
Low energy and fatigue, I can sleep the clock round
To mood swings, anxiety, you name it
And YES snappy agitation too
Whatever next
Oh, been there, done that. 😂 I felt 100% justified too! Well, for a while. Then, I'm like omg, where did that come from?
I'm glad mines were at home too. My family just looked at me and left me in the room by myself. I must have acted like I needed to be alone. Ha ha.
Ha ha!! That's I feel bad afterwards because it just comes out of nowhere. It's like someone flipped a switch on my back that says angry.
I've had it all as well and still getting stuff. It's 4:52 am in the US where I am and I've been up since 2:00am. My sleep pattern is all over the place again. I had really bad insomnia for a while then I went back to sleeping pretty good. Lack of sleep can make me easily aggitated. Now i'm back to the insomnia. It's just one thing after another.
You are like me I get angry over ever little thing that is going on and i cry over every little thing that is going on and i lock myself in the bathroom or i leave the apartment crying
Its hard when your body is going through the change it seems like us girls are so emotional why can't men understand why us ladies get so emotional why can't they understand that our hormone change all the time
I'm coming to realize that they will never understand.
Well if female GPS (who can't be having premen/meno symptoms lik us don't even want to understand
How can yo realistically expect the opp sex to
Myself I have found female GPS just awful
I have had some expierences where female GPS don't understand either. It's sad. Even though women's bodies are different and we expierence it differently doesn't mean that peri/meno symptoms do not exist. You would think a woman would want to know more about it. It's unfortunate that you have to search for good GPS but they are out there.
Jamie, you should see my tantrums. I'm not proud of them at all and I cringe afterwards when I think of how I've been. The other week, I could not sleep and I tossed and turned for hours. The dogs wouldn't settle either so in the morning, I was so angry, I grabbed our headboard, pulled it and yanked it off it's screw holes. I felt so ashamed. I'm sending you a big hug my dear..believe me you are not alone x.
I cry alot or feel like crying. Now I just tell people I am very tired and that I am trying to figure out my health and ask them to try and be patient with me and I will try and cal myself. My family is being good so far
I've done something like that too. I've had little sleep this week and it's frustrating. I just feel bad after I act like that.
My family is starting to understand a little better. They are more patient and letting me go at my own pace.
i think there are LOTS of us out here experiencing similar things. I just can not believe that we can't find answers to sooooo many of these issues. It's unbelievable to me. and sad.
Yes it is sad. There has to be some truth to it for so many women to expirence the same symptoms.
I share my house with my best friend, and both of us are going through it. I get the forgetfulness, definitely the mood swings, I must be incredibly unreasonable and argumentative, and she has the short temper, so not a great combination! Love the comment about it all seeming so reasonable at the time! The only way I manage to deal with the anxiety and other things is to try to tell myself, when things seem overwhelming that this is another of nature's tricks and it will pass. The temper I see in my friend is truly worryingly but I know I cause a lot of it, (I wish I didn't,)by being so forgetful and losing the plot - if we are out driving I forget where we are meant to be going, though she told me seconds ago, or say something stupid because I didn't follow a conversation we had earlier,,,,I guess we just have to try to control it and rly on those we love being understanding. Isn't it a shame we can't wear a T shirt carrying a 'look out, irrational being' logo?!
