has anyone ever called you cold & distant?

[Guest guest]

I know we all have many mood issues due to hypo. Has anyone ever

been told that they act " cold " and are " distant " ? Obviously I have

and am wondering if it is something else I can attribute to the

thyroid, even partially, or is it just me? Thanks for all responses.

Yes, definitely. I also noticed that about 5 years ago people

started treating me differently. For example, if I was waiting to be

served in a shop, the assistant would keep telling me she would be

with me soon and would then start acting very nervous as though I

looked angry or something. I never get angry but my face is

obviously conveying something different.

One doc that I saw asked me if I wanted solitude (which I do, I really

do not want to mix with people), he had a theory that Greta Garbo and

were hypothyroid.

Thanks Lynda! You hit it on the head....I always hear that my face is

showing some type of emotion and I am NOT aware of it at all. If eel

the same way, sometimes I do want to be alone. thanks for showing me

Iw as not alone in this though

Absolutely I am ALWAYS given a dirty look to someone according to my family.

I know that I am cold and distant I feel it

[Guest guest]

I completely understand what you are going through. My roommate actually called

my doctor once to tell him that i needed a checkup because i was being a cold,

evil bi*ch. My god and i was. I knew i was and my thyroid levels were so off

balance, there was NOTHING that anyone could do at the time. just delt

with it. To this day i still hate myself for the way i treated my friends and

family, I cried so many nighs because there was nothing that i could do to make

myself better...and the way that i was during that time was not me and thank god

that most people saw that.

it did take some time, and i am still not myselfand im sure i'll never be, but i

am not as angry any more.

Life is too short.

I have a lot of anger that I didn't used to have. Actually, sometimes I'd say

it's more rage. Sometimes at work I feel like I could just tear into people.I

think from having to hold all that inside, sometimes people see me and think I'm

in a bad mood. They have no idea!! I'm much more irritable than I used to be.

I have never been accused of being cold, but I have been accused of being too

passive and/or people get angry with me when they find out I am not as passive

as I look. I wonder now that this topic has been brought up if it has something

to do with the low energy of the hypothyroidism.

Hello I havent been a member the this group for sometime now. Due the fact I

know why I have my thyroid problem. Its called Celiac Diease Spur pronounced

Spoor, or more commonley called CD. May I suggest you read the information on

the net about this Diease. Just type Celiac information (sympotoms) into your

search engine, there is tons of information about this. Good luck if you feel

like you need to write and ask questions. Remember this is only a sugestion, as

I am not a doctor, just a caring person, with Celiac. Thanks

I have the problem controlling anger too. A couple months ago, in the

height of my thyroid crisis, I ripped my husband's headphones from

his head and broke them. In the year before I got the goiter, when I

was starting to go hypothyroid, I did a lot of bad, violent things

too, like beating people up and even smashing a car. Ok, now I sound

like a total criminal... LOL

She just had her glands tested - all her results are fine. DHEAS,

cortisol, everything. Also, she is also not tired but wired or has

any other symptoms of adrenal problems, other than the crazy part. I

understand her problems, but I still think it is Borderline

Personality Disorder. She used to be on psychiatric drugs and she was

wonderful while on them - if it were an endocrine problem, wouldn't

she continue to have problems even on the psychiatric drugs?

Well, regardless of what it is, she needs to help herself, and she

refuses. I make appointments at the shrink and she won't go.

Well, there is something wrong with her - not just the crazy but the

lots of mystery illnesses she's been having. Every doctor she sees

says " get an HIV test " . She did, like 9 months ago, but it wasn't

long enough after her divorce for it to be necessarily accurate. Her

ex cheated on her all the time, with any old skank. So she either has

HIV at this point or something else they can't even identify.

Honestly, I no longer care. She found a place to live and is moving

out, so it will stop being my problem very soon.
