Am I cracking up?

[KTurner]

I have never been diagnosed as being depressed and I don't really think I am. Sometimes I am fine, really happy, into my work, my home, my children.

Then, for no reason I'll go into a quiet mood where DH will keep asking what's wrong. I say nothing and keep myself to myself until all of a sudden I completely blow up over something stupid like forgetting to put the kettle on.

Now, I haven't cried for years. But something set me off a few days ago and I haven't stopped since - but I don't know why!
I'm okay but then a friend will say a nice word or my kids will give me a big toothy smile and I'm off again.

I even did a pregnancy test as I have only ever felt this tearful before when I've been pregnant - please help, am I cracking up?

PMT? Does get worse IME xx hope you're feeling more cheerful soon xx

Thanks Wisteria, I've never had PMT.

But I am 4 days late...pregnancy test negative thankfully.

I had never had it apart from in my teens (athough that could have just been my excuse for being a stroppy cow ) until the last few years (am 35 next week) when it's got to the stage that I need to remove myself from dp for a few days (just can't cope with being anywhere near him). Am awful at present but nearly 3 weeks late so is understandable I think.....

Maybe it is PMT then.

I am almost 32.

My LO just came in and gave me a big hug and asked me to play some games - maybe that will cheer me up Kids are great aren't they!

In the absence of alcohol- because that would be a slippery slope, I think -

A walk makes me feel better or getting stuck into something constructive and then I spend all day with the mantra 'I will be a dutiful loving partner to dp when he gets home, I will give him a kiss and a hug and tell him I love him'

He then walks through the door and his face irritates me or just says something shite (that I perceive to be shite) and I snap.......no hope for me!!

lol, that made me laugh!

Friday I was making his dinner for when he got in, he came in, said it smelled nice and gave me a kiss and I just got irritated!

I drank quite a lot of alcohol over Christmas and haven't touched a sip for over a week now...

..well that could be your problem then; try glass of wine Have heard that taking starflower oil is good, am just off to get some now....

It's horrid isn't it? I am a bitch...sometimes think things would be better if he turned round and belted me one but he just takes it all on the chin, bit 'doormatty'.......

Yeah my DH doesn't get phased by it. He just asks me if I want a cup of tea!
