Had my surgery in August and lately I feel like I'm PMSing all the time. I snap at the smallest things and just get angry really fast. I've begun yelling at my kids, which I never did before surgery. They don't deserve it. I've been with my husband for 10 years and he's always been one of those guys you have to remind 3 or 4 times to get him to do a chore. All of a sudden, I get really angry with him when I have to ask him to do something more than once. Like screaming at him and being just plain mean. I know it's not right but it's like I can't control it. I'm trying to just walk out of the room when I feel my anger starting so I don't say anything I would regret. I know it's hormonal, but can I do something about it? Is there a medication that could calm me? I take my Vitamins and get my Water and Protein. Just looking for advice.

You may want to consider therapy before you alienate your family.

I've had the exact opposite. I used to yell if I was awakened. Last night we got a phone call at 1 and my spouse thought I'd blow a lid... nope, I was content.

I've found that since my surgery I'm not angry all the time. I don't have my bi-polar mood swings. I'm more relaxed and things don't bother me as much.

We've been seeing a counselor and maybe that has helped.

Therapy is nothing to be ashamed of. Talk to someone and you'll be amazed at how much good it will do.

Also in regards to your question about medication, I'd ask your doctor about Xanax. Maybe 2 MG 3 x a day. it works quickly and will calm you down. I used to take this stuff religiously now I don't need it. Some doctors won't prescribe it, but it sounds like it would definitely help you.
