Solutions to mood swings/irritability..what works for you?

I am a nurse but it helps to reach out for help even yourself at times. Each day, I find that I get annoyed and irritable over things with little to no effort. I am NOT finding my self feeling sad or depressed rather that grumpy and less tolorant...I have a short fuse over stupid things at times which gets worse the week of my period. I dont want to be like this, and I didnt used to be this way in the past. I have 2 children who I am sure wish Mom had more good days than grumpy ones. I have a normal easy going home life per say. Has anyone ever experienced this? What have you done to help yourself?

Serious posters please.

I don't know if you are on any hormone therapy or birth control but if you are, it may need to be adjusted. I think one that is really good if you are birth control is the yaz. It seems to work very well. If you are not taking hormones you might need to. I would consult my OBGYN.

Also take time out of your day or week for you. Spend some time alone or treat yourself to a massage or anything to relieve stress. Mental relaxation is wonderful and will transfer to the rest of your life as well.

I am not making fun or anything with this but I am a Christian and it always helps me to take my troubles to God in prayer. If you are a Christian talk with God. If you are not I would be happy to chat with you via email or even voice about how God has changed my life and how he can change yours.

God bless and I wish you the best.
