Short Tempered

So OG, I think the way to go with this is to go back and figure out what was going on in your life when this change started happening. But it is also possible that you have been pushing down those small things that piss you off and they are making one big monster.

Once you get to the bottom of what makes you tick and what you need in life, you won’t feel the need to attack every little thing.

OG recently i’ve been getting pissed off with the arseholes over here in India.

When ever you drive somewhere you put your safety on the line. People drive around with total disregard for their own safety(and mine! lol).

Also because i’m North Indian these mofos think they can take advantage of me at every opportunity(like overcharge me for things).

So i guess i’ve got a little aggressive with the people here. But i’m careful as well because there are some loony toons here too.

OG i seriously doubt you can getreally
angry. You seem like a warm person.

Sometimes i want to slam the heads of these sleazy guys (who keep staring at my Sister) against a wall or something.

But i’m kinda learning to ignore this annoying behaviour.

Train harder and your aggression will in all likelihood be pacified.

Have you had your blood sugar checked? You may be hypoglycemic. I am generally pretty patient, but if I have low blood sugar stay away.

Everyone except the dog knows to stay away from me until I get my post workout shake in.

It’s ok, I’m psychologically unstable too. I don’t trust people who are happy all the time.


Anger serves a good purpose. Why stifle it?

Girls have to be nice all the time. It’s the special Girl Rule. That, and we have to chant and move our arms back and forth until our chests are big. OG has already done the second important girl-thing. But she’s behind on the first.

Or alternately, lashing out without reason and rational anger are two different things. Only the latter serves a worthwhile purpose.

Female rugby could help…but then again I use rugby as a solution to all issues in life. F

For example; I had cancer and bad breath until I started playing rugby. Now I have a six-pack and a bank account in Monaco.

Rugby knows no gender. And it IS the solution to all issues in life.

You got that right Momma.

I think these happy people are secret pillow biters and plan to blow up the world.

i must admit i have had these days too…you wake up and for no reason every little f’in thing just gets to you…
i have done some homework and been told many different things…the testosterone and estrogen imbalances are one reason, and because every body is different these times cant be pinpointed as to time, frequency,…and whatever else

also my good friend (a kinesiology graduate student in exercise phys.) told me before that by the way i store fat, i most probably have high cortisol levels, the reason why all my fat is in my torso, and why it is a bitch to lose…this just came from being generally pissed off at one thing or another for the first 24 years of my life…sometimes these levels go nuts and i am just pissy all day…i try to fight the cortisol by just relaxing and taking vitamin C after my training sessions…it has helped

OG…just come to Louisiana, get some real food, and hang with some of my people, and you will see a better side of life than most are able to experience

everyone feels great when they are eating some jambalaya and white beans with some real home made boudin and deer sausage, tailgating for LSU football, baseball, or when we kick it after a powerlifting meet

sorry gotta go,…a single tear just ran down my cheek…kinda sensitive;)

I second the thyroid question. Before I got tested and medicated (mmm…drugs) I would have WILD swings into anger over really stupid stuff, like a store being out of something I needed to buy. I would be completely irrational, and I would KNOW I was being irrational. It was a little scary, because I had never been moody. After I got the thyroid meds, my mood stabilized significantly.

Do you ever go through times when you are very short tempered and something just sets you off and then afterwards you wonder, “what was that about?”

I have been like that on and off for a while.

The crazy thing is, early this year things were bad due to work, health, and family problems. Now things are better and NOW I get in bad mood funks.

although I do have somethings on my mind now

But what is the deal with that? Things calm down and that is when I go psycho? Is it because you get used to the drama or is it because then you feel okay enough to let go and let it out?

and so what is the cure? I’ll take all suggestions from chemistry to cardio.

and I am sure all the folks around me and who have had to experience my bad behavior will appreciate any suggestions that improve this situation![/quote]

Sounds like you now have more time to reflect on things. When I’m not busy, I tend to think a lot and get stuck in a negative zone. Hard part is breaking the cycle.

Try answering a few questions, to yourself, and see where they go…

Is there something in your life that has left you frustrated?

Have you been frustrated in your attempts to achieve a particular goal? (you could be completely unaware of the fact that you even have a goal - try to find out if there was something you were banking on in the back of your mind).

These are usually the threads of consciousness that drive me crazy. If, upon, reflection, these things are outside of your control…the best you can do is try to bring yourself around to dealing with things that you can control…sorry I’m rambling here.

usually im always mellow. i get to the gym 4 or 5 days a week so im able to take out all my agression on the weights and am usually left feeling spent and calm.

however that intensity and rage i use on the weights is still a mindset i carry and can come out ocassionally unfortunately.

for instance on haloween after wrestling with friends…i hate wrestling but everyone wants to do it when theyre drunk for some reason. …uh anyway, i went to pick up my phone the Sidekick LX it was like $300 and i went to pick it up and the scroll thing wasnt working, i was pissed but i kept my mouth shut didnt look at anyone or say anything and went to walk out the door. but then something just clicked on in my head and told me to punch something. so i hit this manequin haloween themed thing. it was like a monster looking guy. its head came off after the first punch then i layed a couple more into its chest area. it made a picture drop off the wall too and shattered the frame which was the only thing i really felt bad about.

then i supposedly hit someone although NO ONE including me ever saw this happen just the person who accused me. i still havent apologized and im contemplating on it today. but i just havent been able to muster up whatever it is to pick up the phone for whatever reason.

Maybe you need a vacation and some good clean action from someone that is vacationing too. I am sure with your Epic boobies you would be able to attract someone very quickly!

thanks for all the very good and thankfully manageable suggestions. These are things I can do and I will.

OF COURSE IT HAD TO RAIN TODAY… now… it doesn’t rain often here. So when it does, I must sit outside on the glider with my coffee and watch the birds and watch my cats sitting under the patio with me watching the birds but they won’t chase the birds because they might get wet. If they went feral they would starve.

I did put in a call to my doctor. I will see about getting my thyroid, my test and estrogen, and blood sugars checked. I do get shakey if I don’t eat for a long time, but I think that is with most folks.

I also think it might be that now things are just more stable and so I feel I can explode.

and I have also noticed that I go off on folks that I feel safe with or that or are strangers. NO I have not accosted anyone on the street, but do not be a solicitor and do not cut in front of me at the grocery store.

The goal thing? I keep saying I need to refocus some things back on me now, so maybe that is poking away at the back of my head.

I do need to go on a vacation, somewhere maybe where big burly men wear kilts or climb mountains and get hammered. ooooohhh or go get some jambalaya, hurricanes and listen to some blues.

Thanks again, actually the venting post seems to have helped a bit also. I slept like the dead.

and YO MOMMA! San Diego does have an amateur rugby team! But it looks like their season is over. I may have to check that out next year.

I appreciate the selective amnesia

I am actually wondering if it is a vitamin deficiency though… could it be?

I’ve been under stress, but I do work out so I dunnoooooo

I probably just need more coffee

It sounds a lot like a lack of vitamin DB. A lot of women suffer from this ailment. The only cure is by a DB injection.
