Have you ever . . .
Had a case of the a$$ for seemingly everything for no specific reason? Like all the irritating things just are too much to handle?
I'm experiencing this lately, now I am PMSing a little but it is WAY worse than usual. Like I want to go home and have a good cry because I'm so PO'ed. Anyone else experience this? What did you do to help yourself feel better? I need some ideas please!!!

Re: Have you ever . . .
Actually it really doesn't have to do with Alex, though I was a little peeved he's going out to lunch while I'm coming home, with his mom and the kids. And that's probably because I'm so aggravated at work that I need a hug from him to calm me down!
I've been hitting the studying for that certification test pretty hard, and vacation is only 3 weeks away (July 8th we leave) so I wonder if I'm just stressed from lack of vacation and this test (which I haven't scheduled even).

I get like that too, Lisa - I think it's fairly universal :-) Sometimes, and when I think about it, it is mostly around time for AF, I get so, so...angry. I just get mad. I want to hit something sometimes! I shared that with H once while we were driving, and he accused me of having road rage...and I was the passenger - hahaha!!
He laughed and told me I have "evil moments" and that he'd be sure to stay out of my way until they passed. But when my moments do come - thankfully, they're rare - it helps me to have some total alone time. I find a book or one of my favorite comedy/sad movies, and laugh or cry as the need may be. I tend to feel better once I've gotten those emotions out.
Fav "make me laugh" movies:
Meet the Parents, White Chicks, Hangover, Knocked Up...to name a few
Fav tearjerkers:
Steel Magnolias, The Other Sister, The Family Stone (will make you laugh and cry), Titanic, The Color Purple and The Notebook...
The good news is...it will pass! ((Hugs))
You are definitely not alone! While it is not ideal, I usually just let myself cry it out. When I leave work on a particularly sucky day, I will just let it out. I am also a big fan of naps. Depending on the day that I am PO'ed I might go home and take an hour nap, then wake up and do dinner and stuff. It helps me calm down and relax.
I am sorry that you are experiencing this though. Venting on the nest is always a good release as well.
I'm with Breanne - LET IT OUT! It's amazing what a good cry will do. Oh, and lots of chocolate (or whatever your vice is)
@rands- I LOVE white chicks, it is so hilarious!!! I hear the song from the dance off and I laugh every time! That is a great idea, I may do that.
@breannie- thanks for the ideas
@everyone- thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one who feels like this!

This!!! I feel that a good cry is very cleansing to the mind and the soul. So, go ahead and let it all out.
yes yes YES!! This happens to me more often now that I'm unhappy at work - I think job dissatisfaction and/or stress has a lot to do with it. I get so mad at myself because sometimes it's hard for me not to snap at someone. Often they deserve it, but not always
A good workout at the gym or a run always makes me feel better. 100% of the time - seriously!
I was glad you replied to this since I'm in a similar boat with the job dissatisfaction. It helps to know I'm not completely crazy :-) I have been working out but it wasn't seeming to have an effect on stress levels. I did remember I have an herbal supplement called Stress-J which I should have taken, so its it my work bag. It does work well but of course you have to take it before you reach your breaking point :-)
Thank you all so much for your support, you are the best!!
