Anyone else woken up in a horrible mood this morning.. so miserable

Feeling a bit rubbish anyway but my temper is awful... and I feel really bad about the way I behaved earlier.

By 7.45am I'd yelled at DS because he didn't bother putting out his coat and shoes last night and was asking me where they were AGAIN. He's 11 (year 7) and I reminded him 3 times last night to make sure he has everything ready.

I'd yelled at DP just because he was using the bathroom when I WANTED IT

DD (18) because she'd lost her lanyard for school and insisted I'd moved it.

The dog.. because she couldn't decide if she wanted to be in or out.

The kettle for being too slow boiling. I swore at the kettle and called it names I'm losing it aren't I?

The cat... I can't even remember why I yelled at the cat...

EVERYONE for not emptying the bin when it was clearly full or changing the kitchen roll

By 8am I was in tears and everyone was avoiding me even the dog who normally follows me around like there's a magnet

I was horrible. I'm still agitated now, meant to be working, crying and typing this in the toilet.. I just want go home and cry and then sleep and I can't... and I've got a headache and for some reason the skin on my chest is itchy...

And there's no discernible reason and everyone would probably be happier if I wasn't here... I'm so tired and I had such awful nightmares and I am so on edge I'm frightend I'm going to yell at someone here.. feel like it would only take the tiniest thing.. thank god I'm not seeing any clients today.

Can you say to work you have a migraine

Go home have a nap

Apologise to the family as they come home, you will feel better after doing that.

Buy favourite take away/ready meal and a cake for dinner.

And take a couple of painkillers

frozendaisy · 05/02/2024 11:00

Everyone has an off day.

You are only human.

Buzzer3555 · 05/02/2024 11:31

Oh love give yourself a cuddle. I would go home and have a lovely bath. Hope you feel better soon 💕

winewinewine23 · 05/02/2024 11:34

Agree with the first response, tell work you have a migraine and go home. Go to bed and have a nap.

We all have those days and sometimes the day improves and you feel better and sometimes you have to accept you're having a shit day and need to reset.

Theunamedcat · 05/02/2024 11:35

You sound like your ill not nasty

FrostyFogg · 05/02/2024 11:36

If it's any consolation, DH called a traffic light a fucking wanky cunt yesterday, so I say your kettle got off lightly.

I say go sick with a migraine, and see a GP if this feeling persists. You could be suffering from burnout, or heading that way.

Hugs 💐

2024please · 05/02/2024 11:41

Me. My tolerance levels are pretty dreadful at the moment. I am managing to fall out with loads of people (family) because I won't back down when they are (I feel) treating me unfairly.

They think they're not treating me poorly, so it's a stalemate isn't it?! 🤨

I hope your day improves, OP. 💐

Elspyth · 05/02/2024 11:41

PMT possible?
I'd also go home with migraine, take painkillers and an antihistamine, get some sleep. You'll feel better tomorrow hopefully.

tempnameforadvice · 05/02/2024 11:43

Apparently today is the day most people call in sick out of the whole year. Give yourself a break, we're all allowed an off day.

Mrsjayy · 05/02/2024 11:50

Go home sick invent whatever you need to it sounds like you are struggling shouting at family for being Aholes is normal some days go home have a rest.

I was woken through the night with the rain and wind I'm in a rotten mood I rolled my eyes a million times at dh before he left for work .he was wittering on about something and nothing. the dog also did the In and out thing, I'm sure I was short with my mum I've just had it for today.

CatPancake · 05/02/2024 11:57

I went to bed in a terrible mood, woke up still in it. Something I feel would be fundamentally life changing and prosperous for me and my children has been confirmed out of reach.

i don’t know how I will crawl out of this hole to be honest. I preferred to look through life as opportunistic and giving. And this feels to be making my world and my mindset feel very small.

and I’ve talked myself into this box by ever having hope in the first place. But if you don’t have hope and reach for the stars what do you have?

CatPancake · 05/02/2024 12:02

Now that I poured out my feelings

  1. the cat got shouted at because he was walking under your feet. I know this because cats are genetically designed to do this when you are at your absolute lowest ebb.
  2. everyone in your house is old enough to be shouted at for being a nob. So don’t feel too guilty at lashing out.
  3. crying, nightmares and anger would suggest a hormonal or medication change? You’re not on any new meds are you? If not I would blame PMT. There now, you can’t help it.

i agree with everyone else, a migraine is falling over you. Best to go home and get a cup of tea. A biscuit too if you can. Doctors orders. I’m not a doctor but I’m sure one somewhere would insist on it for you.

ssd · 05/02/2024 12:10

You sound peri. Are you mid 40's op?

idontlikealdi · 05/02/2024 12:12

Peri?

DeForced · 05/02/2024 12:37

Another grumpy git here… bloody dog doing in-out thing (big brave GSDog hates the rain, so has to be shoved out to pee🙄) weather is truly vile, wind and sideways rain, no sleep due to shoulder pain, painkillers not working, so no energy, food chosen by DP (that nobody else eats) now out of date, needs binning😤 just one of those 😡😡 days!
Solidarity to fellow strugglers today!

Candleabra · 05/02/2024 12:40

It’s February. It’s a rubbish month. We haven’t seen the sun for months, no festivities, and the early good intentions and focus from early January have worn off. Everyone has an off day, don’t worry about it.

Delatron · 05/02/2024 12:45

I think it’s the endless cloud and lack of sun. Miserable.

cottonwoolbrain · 05/02/2024 12:55

Thank you everyone.

Took your advice. Told work I was sick - which I think I am as itch now developed to rash and headache dreadful. Took taxi home instead of bus and now at home on sofa with cup of tea, pain killers and dog cuddled up and cat on my shoulder.. wonder if the kids fancy pizza and chips tonight?

OP posts:
Mrsjayy · 05/02/2024 13:00

does sound like you are coming down with something check your rash isn't shingles. The pets have forgotten and forgiven rest up pizza and chips sounds ideal.

Candleabra · 05/02/2024 13:01

When do kids not fancy pizza and chips?!
Good for you, hope you feel better soon

MinnieMountain · 05/02/2024 13:15

A bit late to the party but I’m simply feeling grumpy because I have raging PMT. We all get bad days.

DS would definitely prefer pizza and chips to what I’m cooking 😁

cottonwoolbrain · 05/02/2024 13:48

@CatPancake I'm sorry that sounds like a rubbish situation but sometimes these things aren't meant to be simply because something better will come along. It's diabolical feeling like you're in a hole with no way out but there will be in time Flowers

I got fired for gross misconduct once - unfairly as it turned out at employment tribunal - a horrible time honestly thought every opportunity has gone down the toilet and I'd be lucky to get a job cleaning them. Next job has lasted for 22 years - still in it even if I did end up sobbing this morning.

I really hope things will pick up for you whatever it is

PS you've reminded me that's what I shouted at poor cat for - getting under my feet

i knew it Grin

how is your rash now? Are you on any new meds?

SingingSands · 05/02/2024 14:13

I'm glad you've gone home - sometimes we just need a day off! Keep an eye on your rash, it might be viral (I get one on my face when I'm not well). Keep cosy on the sofa and treat the kids to a pizza. All will be forgiven!

ThirdStorm · 05/02/2024 15:25

I'm exceptionally grumpy today, its Blue Monday for me. Everything is making me either annoyed, frustrated or angry. I'm being totally unreasonable. I really should avoid contact with any more people today I think.
