For the last 3 days I've felt so belligerent .. what on earth is the matter with me?

Honestly felt like I want to go out and hit someone.. anyone... any random person will do..

Obviously I'm NOT actually going to but seem to be overflowing with rage and angst for not particular reason...

Keep finding myself eying up cars on double yellows and considering slashing tyres, lazy idiots littering and wanting to shove the rubbish back down their trousers... perfectly innocent people going about their every day business are raising me to a state of range.... .I mean just because that woman is texting rather than looking where shes going does not mean I should feel a desire to wrest it out of her hands and throw it in the nearest bin... surely the desire to punch someone just because he's dressed in orange and green like some kind of bonkers traffic light is ... unreasonable

Honestly if I let it all lose I'd be a one woman crime spree...

I'm normally quite a nice person honestly. Perhaps I should take up boxing or something.

But seriously I hope people can't tell what's going through my head as I walk along the street...

It used to be hormonal for me, but I'm post menopausal and on an snri, which keeps me calm. The other week I got up though and I was absolutely raging all day. I could have literally throttled someone. I was horrible and felt as though I'd been taken over by something. I put it down to a demon or perhaps I had a virus. I was back to normal the next day and it's never returned.

Oh God, me too!

I get this as a side effect of taking some antihistamines, especially during times of year when I am taking them more frequently, could it be something like that for you?

Devilsmommy · 04/07/2024 17:28

How old are you? Believe me, I too get this kind of rage 😆

It's the kind of thing that is dignified when it's male, middle-aged and craggy, and played by Michael Douglas in Falling Down, or Clint Eastwood riding into the lawless town, and is considered ridiculous and hormonal if female.

I'm late 40s... it's menopause isn't it?

Oh help.. if it carries on like this I'm going to be in a dock on assault and / or criminal damage charges by the end of the month..

I am scraping by on minimal HRT and honestly everyone and everything pisses me off right now. I really have to bite my tongue.

@listsandbudgets Yes, it's the menopause. Welcome to the dark side...

Probably peri menopause kicking in. Hormones change and send you into a rage.

Ha ha, yes totally relate, similar age. My DH has suggested I wear a badge that says 'approach with caution'.

We were out for a walk not so long ago and we could hear gun shots from grouse shooting. DH was a bit disturbed when I cheerily mentioned that I would quite like to have a go at shooting something.... He laughed, but I was deadly serious and then he looked a bit scared 😅

Not sure I want to tame myself with HRT, although probably should for the sake of my family and the safety of the general public!
