O.K., I will warn you----------I shouldn't have contact with any human today!!! Ladies, PLEASE tell me you know what I mean--here it is: woke up feeling normal--by the time i got to work--I HATE EVERYONE!!! My boss is on a diet and takes diet pills---which make her ramble ALOT---I want to stuff my shoe in her mouth!!! And DON'T TALK ABOUT WEIGHT LOSS TO A PERI WOMAN!!!!! I think I will call the hubby and tell him he may want to work late---very late today!!! I am now thinking about making a sign for the front door for days like today--warning visitors that they enter at their own risk!!!
Thank you for letting me vent! It is nice to know others understand!!!
Have a lovely day!!!!

Been there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vent all you want. We do understand.

............... If it breathes!

so it is 1:15 and i am feeling better!!!! maybe i will tell the hubby to come home at 5---------------------well maybe not---we know how things change in 4 hours!!

Count me in. Sometimes, I just want to be totally alone, with the exception of my furry friends. The other day, my daughter said she wanted to go to Idaho/Colorado to visit family during the holidays(my in laws live in Idaho; my sister and her family live in Colorado)...my husband is of course all for it and I know I should be too. My response was " you guys go, I am staying here by myself"! Even after a few days of thinking about the whole thing, I still feel the same way. Don't get me wrong, I have wonderful in laws and while I miss my sister, I just don't have the enthusiam to travel and be sociable.
I KNOW I WILL END UP GOING...

There are days when I curse under my breath like a drunken sailor because eveyone and everything aggravates me. Shouldn't there be a vacation option from this peri/meno stuff?

4 hours? for me, it's more like 4 seconds sometimes.....

glad that you are feeling better for now....
hugs,

Sometimes I want to yell, "Stop the World. I want to get off!" But, it passes. Going to my exercise class is a good way to work off frustration. And I don't care how I look doing it!

I've been having several of these kinds of days myself! Without going into the boring details, let's just say that I am under an exteme amount of stress at work, and it is not going to get any better soon...due to an ongoing project!

Just want to tell everyone where they can stick it!
Thanks for starting this thread, crazymom. It is nice to have a place to come and vent!

I'm fine when I leave the house in the morning, and after a 45 minute commute, my mood has changed. There are always surprises all the way there; this road or that is closed [surprise!], or there's some other problem. I can't count the number of people who go by and glare and flip me off. The rest go 15 miles under the speed limit and look like they're on heavy tranquilizers; that is, unless they're reading a newspaper or a book propped on the steering wheel. Then I get to my first destination and there are heavy or clumsy boxes of supplies I have to carry to my car and get into the trunk somehow, struggling with doors and trying to push elevator buttons with a corner of the box because my hands are full. The other day while I was trying to push open a door while balancing a heavy box, a woman said to me in a voice like a draining sink, "Uh, excuse me, where is the Tax Department?" or some blame place, and I managed to gasp that I didn't know. The whole time, I'm trying to get the door open. She said sarcastically, "You don't know?" And I yelled, "NO, I don't know!" I felt like adding, "No thanks for YOUR help; can't you see I'm trying to get this through the door?" By the time I get to my job and haul the boxes upstairs, I'm furious.

Oh, I SO have this issue. I feel like I'm going insane sometimes. Stuff that shouldn't (and never used to) bother me just sends me right over the edge lately. I analzye and over-analyze everything - sometimes I feel like my brain is set on mental rerun. It makes me nuts!

I just want to be myself again.

You've described me to a tee, someone will make a comment and i'll think about it and read into it more than i should.

Simple remarks infuriate me as i always tend to take them the wrong way! i have hurt my loved ones doing this and i know i'm in the wrong but i just cannot help it!

Dear 'crazymom'

Vent as much as you need that feeling of everyone being such a darned nuisance is very real.I remember,whilst going through a bad patch,working part time in an Hotel and I couldn't stand anyone.The way they breathed,their big feet and all the boring chit chat.I had to get out of there!

Many months later when feeling a lot better it suddenly hit me that the person I couldn't stand the most was myself.I began seeing things in a different perspective and was gradually able to join the ranks of the living.I must say I am not the chatty sociable lady I was many Moons ago.I have a few friends and love my own company too.

Things do get better and mood swings gradually stop swinging so much.

Lots of Luck

Sometimes I become so irritated and fixated on other people and how annoying I think they are, I turn into that very thing I can't stand. I really have to catch myself and pull it together. Other days, I love the world.

LOL!!!!! oh dear....i'm like that ALL THE TIME! YIPPIE!!!! lol

Ditto!!

Oh Boy am I there most of the time! Some people when they are sick like others around them and others, like me, want to be alone in their misery. I just want to be in a sound proof bubble until this meno "sickness" is done!

Ohhhhhh, I can totally relate! I have been there a lot lately! I don't want to be around anyone, look at anyone, hear anyone, etc. There have been times that I have even called off work because it is so bad! I know that if I got to work and someone talked to me or complain about work, etc., I would want to yell SHUT UP!!!!! I am glad that I have you girls here that totally understand me! My husband tried to be supportive and he asks me if I am "having a moment". I tell him that I am and to go away because I don't like him right then!
