For the past couple of days I have had a short patience span. I am snappy, and grouchy. I almost feel like panicing over how pissy I am, and te fact that I am pissy. My mind is wondering, asking what's wrong with me, what is causing this, what if I just fly off the handle? Im not usually this moody, but it sems almot uncontrolable, which is scary. I feel loke I could kick the crap out of someone.... with pleasure. Im affraid that my birth control is causing my bad mood or maybe it is because I have been eating bits and pieces of chocolate, and I have had no caffine in about six months. Who knows, all I know is this mood Im in anint good. I could blame PMS, I am only a few days from that. I dont usually get so bitchy though.

Any advice?

Hi light,

About 4 years ago when I went on the pill my moods spiraled. First I got really aggitated-- this happened about 3 to 4 weeks on the pill then slowly I spiraled into an anxiety/depression ephisode. It all ended shortly after I got off the pill. Did you just start taking the pill? Anything that plays with my hormoes is off limits lol I have enough hormonal issues. Eating suger can induce irritability too. Try to avoid it, especially a week or two and during PMS.

I hope you are doing ok now. I had a spell a couple weeks ago where I was really irritable and it was scaring me too! I'm doing better now. I had a cold and I think the pressure in my head was wreaking havoc in my brain.

Let us know how you are doing

I posted something similar to this earlier on the boards under "birth control question". I too have been on the pill for 2 years and feel that it is the culprit for some of my anxiety. I did have a number things change this past summer that caused some issues (moving away and in with my fiance, health anxiety and what if thoughts). But I feel that the "pill" has contributed to the monthly crying spell for no reason and the feeling of despair for no reason. I have tracked these feelings for the last 5 months and they all seem to crop up 5-7 days before my period. Check out the above topic, there were some good helpful hints from others..
