Has anyone ever woken up feeling they had a brain transplant during the night?

[Gorionine]

Hard to explain what I am going through lately, I used to be a caring person pretty much always smiling and with a positive word for anyone in need of one. Lately I have become very moody, I cannot stand people putting a foot wrong and have in a couple of occasion in the last few weeks been plain rude to people who had ennoyed me but did not really deserve to be read the riot act!

Now, I do not think I am depressed because still manage to have a really good laugh several times a day, I have not had dark thoughts of any kind but I am longing my old self. I want to be nice again. It is like having permanent mood swings for the last few month. A friend has suggested to me that I might have some sort of hormone imbalance, anyone felt the same and can walk me through it? I am seing GP in a few days what sort of test should I ask for (if any?)Can it be related to not sleeping very well at night?

I have not posted inmental health because I am not sure it is "worthy" of it>

Bumping for you, especially because it's sad that you don't feel your problems are bad enough to go in mental health.

Just tell your GP what you have told us.

Go on to MH. You will get lots of support and ideas there.

Hey up. Shall I don my tin helmet when I come for coffee then?

No I think you are still safe although I will ask in advance that you forgive me if I start a screaming match with you!

I will go and lurk on MH until I feel confident enough to actually jump in.

Just got back from school run, so writing this message for you to find later.

I hope you had a good toddler group session. Yes, I am still OK for tomorrow. I shall try to don my 'listening hat' so you can rant about it all to me for half an hour!

I want to help that lady at school. It broke my heart to see her so upset this morning. I was glad you were there for her - see, you are a lovely, caring person. You put her needs before your own without even thinking about it. That's the sign of a solid gold lovely jubbly genuine person and I'm very glad that you're my friend

I just read the OP properly and am afraid that my last post in very insensitive. I'm sorry .

These symptoms can be due to a hormone imbalance, and I hope you have a good GP who will run the necessary tests.

I think it's not unusual to feel a bit down at this time of year as people have used up their winter energy reserves but haven't yet begun to recharge over the summer.

Make sure you give yourself small treats on a regular basis...

JeffVadar, Do not worry one bit because it sort of feels like I have had one!(brainectomy)

I just started a new form of therapy (well sort of...) I called it the "Kick in the backside" therapy because I have finally woken up to the fact that I have not got much to feel sorry for myself about. Just this morning I came accross a friend who has a much worst time than I have ever had. I came to the conclusion that I am just very tired and it just "emplifies" the way I feel things,I will still go to my GP's appointement though, just to make sure.

My treat of the week will be coffee with Doodle tomorrow morning!
