Mood Swings

Anyone else having mood swings? I got a bad haircut on Wednesday, but the color looks awesome and I've been sobbing on and off ever since. If I have a treat or a snack I get so furious with myself i feel rather out of control. Anyone else having some serious mood swings or am I alone in this one? Don't get me wrong I can be perfectly "normal" or my normal anyway but then something triggers a swing and off I go! Be Well and Be Healthy, ANDI

Hi Andi! You're so not alone! It doesn't take much to set me off these days. My poor family! Heck, all I have to be is bored to make me feel like or start crying, and it's driving me insane... And it's the same as you said, I can be just fine one minute and the next BAM. No fun. Hopefully, this too will pass and SOON! Big Hugs!!! Bobbie

Thanks Bobbie, Sometimes i feel very much all alone i hate subjecting people to my raw moods. It's snowing here i think there should be a mandate that we dont have to go to work when it's snowing, I want to start cooking large foods (pot roast, turkey, a ham) soo that hte house is warm and snuggly and I can go back to bed and read for a few hours maybe catch a nap! Hugs, ANDI

i am so sorry your having a hard time. I think this is par for the course.. we have all put some much in to this journey and still have so far to go.. I really stuggled during christmas with all the food (snacks) i realized I probably would never be able to eat again. I thought i did ok getting through it but right after the holidays I really went through a funk. I decided to get myself out of it by getting into exercising and finding something else to concentrate on besides my blue mood. It is kind of working but my mind is spinning at what I need to do to get myself to the next level. and regretting all these months i sat on my butt and didnt do anything to get me in better shape than I am now. Moods.. yes I am having them too... seems like we are all having a mood of some kind. I hope are feeling better.. remember hair grows.. and this will pass. You are healthy, and loved... that is far more important than a bad hair day anyway.. try and look for something positve now to grab on to.. maybe that will help.

((((((((Carla)))))))))))) i really need my daily dose of Carla lately, you are just so good for me. I need to relax and take my biotin and remember hair grows back or i can get replacement hair. I really need to settle down and get my big bahookie back to the gym because i'm not doing a dang on thing for me lately and that's just not good for me. I am grazing through my days and I am not even hungry anymore, what i need to do is go back to basics, actually do the liquid thing again and see if i can get that scale moving in a downward slope preferably. Thank you for your kind words once again, they really do help me way more then i can articulate. Hugs, ANDI

YESSSS!!! My 14 year old has no problem pointing it out either!!~ It's much better the last 2-3 weeks, thanks to my new dosage of medication............ I received bad news about my A.R.M. mortgage yesterday and I am sure if it wasnt for my new med dose, I would be going through the roof!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

((((((((((((((((Diva))))))))))))) i'm so sorry you're going through mortgage trauma i remember that well! I am, however, thrilled to know i'm not alone in my mood swings because sometimes, when i'm a moody nightmare i feel very very alone and i don't like it. Hugs, ANDI

I may have got this wrong, but I'm sure I read on OH somewhere that hormones are stored in fat cells, so when we loose weight the hormone is released into our bodies, hence the mood swings. It's like being a teenager all over again!!

Yeah i say that all the time and I know in my head what the mood swings are all about it just doesn't help me knowing it when i'm irrational and going through it. This morning I tried on a pretty top (that a i paid too much for) on for my husband and he goes "that looks alright" and i went off on him in a wicked way, i was like just alright do you know another adjective that you could have used alright seems to tepid do i look just tepid in this blouse to you. I think he feared for his life! I don't mind going off on him he's my spouse but my kids are a whole other ball of wax (what does that mean really?) Hugs, ANDI ps. i hated being a teenager those were not kind years.

Me too.... you are NOT alone... I thought It was my age.. glad I'm not alone either.... I think its harmones that are adjusting for us
