Why am I so irritable sometimes?


Question:
I don't really know what's wrong with me. For no reason, I just snap sometimes, and get really irritable. I guess its stress but I hate using that as an excuse. I get overly upset at simple things that are no big deal. Any advice?

Answers:
Many things can cause irritability. Stress and hormones are two of the biggest causes. It may help to start keeping track of when you get irritable and what triggers it. Writing it down in a brief jornal format may help you discover a pattern that would otherwise go undetected.

Once you have a general idea of what gets to you, it wouldn't hurt to talk to someone, maybe join a stress management or anger management course. After my divorce, I had a lot of anger and I noticed I started taking it out on my son a lot. I would get really irritable and snap at him a lot. I took an anger management course for a few months and it really helped. They teach you techniques on how to avoid and diffuse stressful situations.

Good Luck!

HI TellMeMore!

I am the same way. I think it has to do with many things. Age, Hormones, lifes sutuations. I could name many. But, you are'nt the only one.

What I do is withdrawl to myself. That is not good either, but then I don't attack others as much. It is hard to know what to do.

Just be good to yourself and know that everyone has problems. Get a punching bag! hahaha
