Cranky, Irritable and Depressed!

Why is this happening again? I yelled at my DH on Tuesday because he mowed the lawn. I have been snapping at the kids and they just don't understand! I hope this won't last too long and that I will be feeling good again, like I was!

MomToJade&Jordan replied: You hang in there sweety. Take a step back and breath and try to focus. You have come so far, so don't let yourself backtrack. The road to recovery, from anything, is going to be bumpy and difficult, but I know you can do it. Have faith in yourself.

I am sorry you are feeling like this, but I know you'll feel better again. Try to take a few minutes to yourself and just relax.

I wish there was something more I could do for you! You are such an awesome person and I hate to see you suffering like this!

You have come a LONG way---maybe this is just a short hormonal cycle rather than a recurrence of PPD. I have irrational and sad or angry reactions right before AF, and by saying this I'm not making light of what you're experiencing: these are sometimes quite strong and frightening feelings that go through me during that time. Another thing to consider is that every person has bad days, emotional days, etc. You can be recovered, and it will still be normal to have an angry day or a weepy day. Whatever it is, we're all cheering for you, we've seen how strong you are, how far you've come and we know you can do anything!

Heather replied: Aww sweetie. I hope it passes soon.

Schnoogly replied: Being sick and not getting enough sleep are probably making everything worse! Just know that this will pass and once you are feeling better physically you can get back to your old self.

Kirstenmumof3 replied: You are all so wonderful! Thank You! I am seeing my psychologist this afternoon for my weekly appointment. I know I will be okay, it's just sets me back and I start doubting my progress! I recieved soem good news this morning. Because I was also diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder I am now eligable to recieve Disability. I found out today that I am approved! Now we will be getting prescription coverage and dental coverage, both of which we really need. Thank You all so much! I've said it before, but I have to say it again this board is AWESOME! Thanks!

A&A'smommy replied: thats great im so glad, it sounds like you are feeling better too!!! take care of yourself and here are some hugs!!!!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Hang in there...it could be the weather doing it to you. You are still doing great! Don't doubt yourself. You can and will overcome it. Hang in there!

angelhair replied: hello, I know what it is like to go through cycles. I have manic-depressive disorder as well as clinical depression and anxiety and am on lithium and celexa. it is great that you are eligable for medical coverage and have someone to talk to when you feel no matter how hard you try, things seem to fall apaart. the littlest things can sometimes set me off and I feel like I blew it for the whole day and just try to hang on till tommorrow, whenb I hope things will be better. it can be so difficult, but I know with the proper treatment things will start to pick up again. It can be so hard managing yourself on top of a family when the highs and lows come! angelhair

MomofTay&Sam replied: CJ'sMoM I am so sorry I am late to this post and would just like to say hang in there and I know you can come thru this. You have indeed come so far.
