I wonder sometimes if I have 4S

[Guest guest]

I typically write regarding my 4S daughter, but tonight I'm just curious if what I've been dealing with sounds like 4S or just plain old rudeness on my behalf. Keep in mind I have a dad with ringing in the ears and I personally have major OCD with cleaning. I have a new sister-in-law whom is sincerely a nice person. We both met our husbands (very close brothers) around the same time and have always reasonably liked one another, however, her voice/ laughter has always really, really bothered me. She has a very nasally high pitched voice and an excessive nervous giggle. She's always talking with this high pitched voice and giggling constantly, and now to make matters worse, she and my brother-in-law (newly weds of 3 months) baby talk all of the

time in front of us. I feel like I can't take it sometimes...I want to punch her & him in the nose, especially with the baby talk. I feel like such a butt & I'm certain my facial expressions are showing my disgust for them. So many times I've thought of ways to avoid family dinners because I can't stand being around her & now my husband's beloved brother and his baby talk. I feel awful about it, there is absolutely no logical reason why I should dislike the presence of this person so much.

I may be doing what we as women are good at, being plain old moody, but I figured if anyone could tell me if this sounds a little bit like 4S it would be you guys. Is this what 4S makes you feel like...punching people in the nose?

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! 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!
