Dh changes when a full moon

[Touristtrainstuffedtothebrim]

Not in a werewolf way and i’m not a woo type of person, but I’ve noticed a few times (going to have to start writing it down) that on the build up
to a full moon, he can be very moody and not nice sometimes and the day after-few days after, he’s back to himself, but much nicer-kinder

It’s happened too many times now to feel like a coincidence

Am I the one going mad?

The theory I heard is that the moon and sun control the tides and so obviously at a full moon they will affect human brains which are around 75% water.

When I was working with the public, it was off the case that you'd notice really strange behaviour in several people, check to see if it was full moon, and it was.

I don't mean rude behaviour I just mean strange. @Touristtrainstuffedtothebrim so I find it perfectly believable. It's really something when you see it in lots of people.

How does the sun control the tides?

Do you see glasses of water being affected by the moon? What about a big Sports Direct mug of tea that someone's forgotten about? Or that bowl of washing up your DH 'left to soak'? They're nearly 100% water.

Apparently that’s where the origin of “lunatic” comes from. Original - meaning being struck by the moon!

Im in perimenopause I AM a huge body of water (and chocolate)

😆

It's sometimes said that it's caused by the activities of parasites. I've no idea whether herrs any evidence for that though.

I believe you. The full moon effect is real - my team is a central function, we can tell when it’s full moon because the rest of the company goes noticeably whacky and for a few days it becomes an entertaining chaos.

I totally believe in this. Had the most awful argument with my best friend. It has only happened 2 times before in years, both on full moons. All ok afterwards but oh my, it was heartbreaking at the time, just thinking about it is painful

Yes, exactly.

What is it specifically you are claiming the moon does to the water in our cells?

Yes, the increased light I mentioned. Thanks for finding a specific study!

the moon isn't changing it's mass tho... only what's visible. the thing that's changing is the amount of light reflected off the moon onto us.

the moon does affect tides but that doesn't have anything to do with how much of the moon we can see.

At the moment the full moon will coincide with pay day for a lot of people.

the review isn't saying moonlight is the only possible mechanism, it also cites gravitational and electromagnetic influences among others

My grandad’s mood seemed heavily affected by the moon. He was intolerable during a full moon. Without fail. Like clockwork. The dog used to abscond during a full moon too. Both Cancers. Neither werewolves.

Yes, I've often wondered whether full moons affect pressure in the head akin to how migraines affect people's moods and ability to perform cognitively.

My ex worked in a psychiatric hospital and they always mentioned things were different during a full moon, with patient moods seemingly affected.

I was a midwife for many years. I don't care if the research doesn't back it up, the busiest, maddest nights were always when there was a full moon.

The wind thing in school playgrounds definitely happens! It really skitches them up!

so many personal experiences here verifying.

Also this full moon was a big one, sun conjunct jupiter exactly opposite moon conjunct pluto. if you know your astrology you'll know how intense that would be!

Me too. I wanted some rapid hair growth and baying at the moon. 😟

I work in the emergency services and a full moon sends people mad. It's always a worse shift on a full moon.

I feel irritable and morose in the week or so before and then a lifting and light at soon as the moon is full. As I said, it’s almost like a period cycle although I haven’t had one of those for years.

Same here, when the air pressure is altered. Like I’m very tightly wrapped, head to toe, in clingfilm. Same feeling inside my skull.
When significant rain is approaching, my right leg aches to the point of my almost weeping.

(This began in childhood, when all the paediatricians in London my mother dragged me to see asserted that this was ‘growing pains’. Since it was my right leg alone, I was convinced that only that limb would keep growing)
