Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Pain makes all of us lose patience. Remind yourself that you are learning to live with a different set of signals from your brain that are telling you that you hurt!! Also, are you taking any steroids? They can affect you psychologically a great deal. I tell people to hide from me when I must take them and I avoid taking steroids in any way that I can. Hang in there!!!

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Dear Monster, You are not a monster, you are completely human. It sounds like you really need to take care for yourself first, then with time you will be in a better position to care for others. Be easy on yourself. In the meantime if it will make you feel better I can send my husband over and you can kick him! Have a good day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Lizzy, Are you on steroids like prednazone, as these can cause some people to become agitated and angry. marla lizzy138_2001 wrote: > > i noticed that i get angry really easy in the morning but today was the > mother of all mood swings. i feel awful and please don't judge me. when > my boyfriend goes to work early i have to take our dog out. it always > takes me awhile to get up to take him out so i get pretty grumpy. well > today when i was putting on his leash he licked and i got angry and i > kicked him. just once though. what is wrong with me? who does that? all > he did was lick me and it filled me with rage. i love him so much he is > just precious but sometimes i just don't want him anymore. i don't have > patience for him sometimes. what can i do? > > > > __________ NOD32 2968 (20080324) Information __________ > > This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. > http://www.eset.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 oh my gosh, I so understand. I have 5 kids and a husband that have been driving me insane for the past 2 to 3 weeks (same time this crap has been flared up) ..... I have been hateful, mean and down right awful like a monster, I feel awful later, guilty even especially for the kids who just do not understand mommy feels like poo and she does not mean to yell and scream....I do not know what to do either. I have tried walking away (and on my feet that is a joke) I have apologized to the kids and husband already several times but once the damage is done I think it is too late. I try to put on a happy face but it seems after I have had my happy face on all day I get even more monster like, like it has all built up all day from feeling miserable and no one understanding that I am sooooo tired of this, sooo sick and tired of being sick and tired....... anyway I am rambling on.....I do understand I wish I could make my monster go away too amber **************Create a Home Theater Like the Pros.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 hey amber. i know it's hard. i also saythings that i regret. i think me and my boyfriend are on the verge of breaking up. he is getting sick and tired of dealing with everything that has been going on and i hate that he doesn't understand so i say mean things. uh i just want this ugliness to go away. it's so terrible i feel like i can't control myself when i get angry like that. but i will soon be off the prednisone but perhaps on something worse Liz > > oh my gosh, I so understand.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Normal. that would be nice i hope you find it amber. they don't understand that when you feel that frustration you can't calm yourself down. i tried explaining to my BF. i didn't work but iknow he will come around. he always does. as long as they know you love them it won't matter. my father was very sick and he would get angry too but i knew it was his sickness and not him. i knew because he always showed me so much love and it was only when he felt pain that he would be mean. sometimes you do't have to say sorry you just have to show you are liz > > I know I have been awful still, I apologize but kids just do not understand > like an adult can esp my little ones.
