Has anyone ever woken up really irritable?

[Ellessdee]

Woke up this morning for no obvious reason feeling like I want to cry, irritable, snappy etc. Very unlike me and it is overwhelming, the way I feel when something terrible has happened, but nothing has. Feel like I could burst into tears or explode any moment

Is your period due? Yes, I know that sounds like an awful, misogynistic thing to say but I went through a phase of feeling like this for a few days each month for a couple of years before starting HRT. I'd never suffered with PMS before so it was quite disconcerting.

Then again, things are tough for most people right now and winter just makes it worse with the cold weather and lack of daylight. If you've got to deal with people today, either at work or at home, try and nip into another room or the loo for a few mins if you feel like you're going to cry or snap.

I hope you're feeling yourself again soon, I know how shit it is.

Maybe you had a bad dream? People don't remember most of their dreams but they can trigger physical responses, you might have had the "hangover" of that.
