Is irritability a common symptom for anyone else? I feel like I'm super irritable all the time or for a good part of the day and then it passes and I feel fine. Also, sometimes after I feel calmer I get shaky like an anxiety attack will come on.

    Yes I can relate to this, it's how I feel a lot of the time daily and at night and in the early hours.

    Yes! Me . My anxiety often manifests into irritablity and anger . I get so stressed out that I start feeling super hot and shakey . I've been a stay at home mom with little to  no help for 5 years and my therapist said i desperately need breaks and me time,  so I've been trying my best to take time for myself to unwind and de stress. 

    I have never been good at coping with pressure and stress and it's now gotten to the point where I'm affected by it daily . I wish so bad I would have taken the time to be mentally healthy years ago . 

    Maybe try to get some relaxing in and do something you enjoy ! I hope you feel better soon

      Don't beat yourself up, dealing with all the negative thoughts that comes with anxiety is exhausting and of course we will lash out times and he moody & irritable . We're in a constant battle with our own minds ! 

      Sometimes I get super irritated with my child over the smallest things ..it's not fair to him at all & I live with the guilt daily because I feel like a s**t mom . That's why it's important for us to de stress as best we can . Xx
