I seem to have no control

Posted , 3 users are following.

For the past week or so I keep snapping at my family, and seem to have no control over it. It can be a perfectly normal day, nothing bad happened at all, and I can just feel it bubbling up in my chest. It sort of feels the same as when an anxiety attack is building up.

I feel terrible for doing it and I've apologised a lot for it, but my family have had enough. I don't mean to do this and to be honest I hate myself for it.

    Hi alyce46001

    It sounds like a couple things, mainly your hormones. I dont know how old you are but it could be hitting menopause. Sometimes a women can become pre- menopausal at an early age and it will last until menopause hits you. That can cause your emotions to go up and down. Also do you seem to get like that close to your period? My daughter will snap at someone and wont mean it and she gets like that a couple days or so before she starts. Stress and frustration can trigger loosing your cool for a second. If your trying hard to keep your cool, its only a matter of time before it starts slipping out. Some times you dont realise the amount of stress your carrying inside until it starts to affect your emotions. It happens to me, I think Im dealing with stuff and it builds up and I dont realise my plate is full until I catch myself snapping at someone and I feel so bad.

    I dont know if any of these apply to you, but good luck.
