Anyone had a complete emotional outburst?!

It's nearing the end of the week from taking my first mounjaro injection.
Last night I just flew of the handle with my partner for something he often does, that is mildly irritating, but not ever worth a full meltdown over.
I went into the other room and sulked for ages like a child, then cried like a baby!

This isn't me.
Thankfully my partner hugged me, and understand it was out of character and was more concerned then annoyed with me.

Could this be the WLI messing with me?
Generally I've felt pretty upbeat as I'm excited to be on this journey.

It is possible that Mounjaro is affecting your emotional response. It can impact mood and emotions, some posters mention anxiety and low mood, particularly in the first few weeks as your body adjusts. Hormonal changes, fluctuating blood sugar levels, and appetite suppression can all contribute. One to monitor, hopefully it will be a short term side effect as you get used to the medication.

I also get mood swings at the end of the week when it wears off. Its terrible but it happens every week. I have to remind myself I'm feeling irritated or emotional because it's wearing off. I think it's because I'm pre-diabetic and mounjaro is doing wonders at managing my blood pressure and sugars so I'm stable. Before mounjaro I was an emotional roller coaster for years, didn't realise it was due to blood sugars. Luckily I'm on 10mg now and it's holding out until jab day.

I've been on it 5 months and every week was like this for me always on a Friday. Anger, irritable, emotional eugh tried to control it but then I would get stressed.
