Seriously depressed and angry...anybody else having problems with this?

For the last couple of weeks I have been feeling very angry and depressed. I am snapping at my husband and my son and have become a horrible monster ***** to everyone. I feel like I could hurt myself (I wouldn't ever but I feel like it). I had to take my son (2 1/2)to stay with a friend the other night because I was afraid I might hurt him and would never take that risk. I want to cry or get in a big fight. If i could eat a large pepperoni pizza and a 1/2 gallon of tin roof sundae ice cream I would feel all better...but of course that isn't an option any more. I am going to see my doctor tomorrow and I need to see a therapist when I can get in to see one. Any body else going through this?

Davina, I have been pretty *itchy myself. Take a breath and see your doctor. You are in my prayers!!! You can email me and vent if you would like Melinda LAp RNY 10/17/03 -85lbs

Davina, I'm sorry you feel so bad. It sounds like you are having a hormonal or chemical imbalance going on. You need to make sure you tell your doctor that sometimes you feel like hurting yourself and are afraid you might hurt your son. If he/she doesn't do anything about it tell another doctor. Nobody needs to live like that. I am in the same time frame as you with my surgery. Is there something specific making you angry and depressed, or does it just happen out of the blue? Although it doesn't happen to me, I have several friends who deal with this. Karen

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE. I FEEL VERY UNSTABLE.I WANT TO JUST HURT SOMEONE.I HOPE IT GETS BETTER.

It is the flux of estrogen that is ******g everyone off. I asked my doc about it. This to shall pass as we get smaller and things even out a bit. For now, it is Zoloft the equalizer for me... Much better now... Judy

The flux of estrogen? WOW! I too have been feeling a bit cranky lately, I was thinking I need to get back on my prozac. I hope you are feeling better!!! Erin

Well this explains some feelings for me too. I was blaming it on PMS. I've never pms'd this bad before, but I just chalked it up to a base case of it. I'm glad to know it will pass soon. The other night I was laughing so hard hard I started to get tears in my eyes. These tears turned from laughter tears to a serious cry. And when I was asked are you ok? why are you crying? I could only answer.. I don't know.. I just felt like crying and could not seem to stop it. I really felt mental. Good to know I'm not alone with this.. And I'm normal when I feel this way.
