Short Fuse

I am a little over a month out and it seems like I have a short fuse. Has anyone else gone through this?

      breathe, and hit a pillow. sometimes just crying helps release frustration and anger when there is no cause of it. I get seriously wacked out PMS where I am an emotional wreck. hormones EVERYWHERE.

      I wonder if it's not all hormones. Maybe It's that we used to rely on eating to soothe us emotionally and our pacifier has been taken away. New Life Started 07/24/12

    I have to admit I've been a little grumpy and grouchy since my surgery.

Someone who knows that your growling at them because you can't help it and that you dont mean it, who will just cuddle you and say yes shhh its ok.

    I have been told lots of those same things. Hormones stored in fat being released...must be why the hot flashes are coming and going again. Lol. I was also told that my protection against the world (my fat) is disappearing. Short temper is my quick fix for a defense system. Now I am learning new ways to cope since I can no longer use my old friend food!

    I have been a mess too. Crying over movies feeling angry.
