Guest guest Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Hi Everyone! I have a concern that's not totally related to 4S but certainly does affect it. I seem to be just a generally moody person. It seems like any little thing can set me off. I usually blame it on 4S triggers, and although that is often accurate, many times it is not. By nature I am bubbly and optimistic, but I seem to get pulled down from that a lot. In fact I'm usually in one extreme or another--too happy or too moody. And my mood can change just like that. I admire those " even keel " type of people and wonder how they can be like that. I feel like I never outgrew my teenage moodiness (I'm 28 years old). I also tend to blame this on PMS. It's worse when I'm PMS, but not limited to that time of the month. This does affect my ability to deal with 4S. One probably affects the other. I'm not really sure where to turn. I wonder if I need to professional help or I just need to deal with my emotions better. I want to ask here because I feel like I trust you guys and you would understand, and I know that some of you are dealing with psychological issues on top of 4S. I'm getting frustrated with myself for being so frustrated! Help! Thanks, Cate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 This sounds just like me. I ruined Thanksgiving yesterday. I had been in a great place, then my husband informed me that he cracked the sideview mirror on my brand new car. I got so angry that I was mean to him all day and do grumpy. I even was thinking about wanting to leave him!!!!!! Today I realize it was no big deal. So fixable. I'm not normally this bad, but yesterday was rough.Normally I'm a happy bubbly person as well.DorothySent from my iPhone Hi Everyone!

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 I completely understand! Ever since I started peri-menapause 4 yrs ago, I loose my temper at many things (some justified others small and insignificant). Like you, it is not always triggered by 4s. I blame alot on changing hormones. But you're 28, so that wouldn't be our situation, unless you are a bit hormonally imbalanced. You may want to ask your doctor or gynocologist to do some tests. > > Hi Everyone!

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Perhaps we all should have hormone testing done. My 4S seems to go in waves... sometimes I can handle it and other times I want to rip someones head off. Plus, most of us had this begin around the time of puberty. It would be interesting to see if the majority of us are " normal " hormonally or not. Anybody had testing done? > > > > Hi Everyone!

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 My daughter with 4s is the exact same way. There is no in between with her. She is extremely moody. I also feel it's not all because of the 4s...she has always been this way. She also has trouble falling asleep. Once she does, then she doesn't want to wake up. She'd rather sleep all day and be up at night. She has always had trouble sleeping since birth which also contributes to her moodiness. The doctors do NOT believe she is bipolar. I don't think she is either. I am also a very bubbly and optimistic person and when I get down or very moody I walk a lot. Some days or when I get pms I don't even want to be around myself. Sounds crazy but when I say walk, I walk either 3 miles, 6 miles or even 10 miles a day to help my mood. It really helps. If fact, my family now says to me, " you didn't walk today, did you? " lol > > Hi Everyone! I have a concern that's not totally related to 4S but certainly does affect it. > > I seem to be just a generally moody person. It seems like any little thing can set me off.
