Moody B*tch!

[KylieJay]

I have been such an emotional wreck recently... I usually have quite a good handle over my moods but over the past few months I have found myself wanting to cry, or just feeling really melancholy, for no particular reason. I have recently started going out with a guy and I know my mood swings confuse and aggravate him; for good reason. For example, yesterday I had to do a presentation at work and was really nervous. My guy said he'd email me to see how I went, and call after work. Well I didn't hear from him at all. I became so irate with him, when he picked me up this morning I gave him the silent treatment for a one hour drive. He kept asking what was wrong but in my view, if he didn't know already that was even worse! He eventually apologised for not calling or emailing me saying he was 'busy'. I accepted his apology and made civil conversation but all that pent up anger was still boiling inside and I began to think of all these things he's done to disappoint me. In reality these are small things, rarely worth even thinking about, but for some reason I convinced myself that he was the most selfish boyfriend in the world. I have treated him like cr*p today, when I know I should just get over it. All this makes me feel even worse. I just wish I could disguise my emotions. But whenever I do so I just end up feeling bitter and angry, which culminates in a scene like I just described.

 

ARGH!! Any of you have similiar problems??

How old are you? Have you heard about perimenopause? Symptoms can begin up to FIFTEEN years before menopause. Some women start even earlier.

 

You could also be depressed. You could also have a metabolic problem. In any case, it may be worth a trip to the doc. If it is perimenopause and the symptoms are really bothering you, there is help available. If it isn't, you'll want to rule out any medical conditions.

He should have called if he promised, I think your reaction is justified.
