Don't feel like myself.

[havefaith]

I really could use some help.

 

I am still trying to figure out if this is hormonal, pretty sure it has to be. Basically when I'm about a week off from my period I have serious fits of anger. Literally sometimes it's like I'm having the sort of temper tantrum a child has. The weird thing is I have almost no control over these bouts of emotion; I can literally hear myself being ridiculous, getting incredibly upset over something dumb, and I know it's dumb or irrational and just feel like my hands are bound or something. Sometimes it seems like I'm outside my own body, watching myself throw a fit.

 

I absolutely hate it, and it isn't like me. After I have a fit like this I normally look back and feel like a psycho! I tend to take it out on my BF who is extremely patient but trust me, I'm very aware of how unfair it is. Sometimes my anger will be at least a little bit legit, but it gets blown up to 10 times its normal size and I just spew.

 

I am on a birth control pill that I've been on for a few years now and this is only a recent problem, so I have no idea why it would like this all of a sudden. I know this may be a stretch but I'm 22 years old now and was wondering if there could be any crazy hormone things going on as a result of my entering what is, as I understand, pretty much the peak of my fertility.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions or shared experiences? I need to regain some control

I have fits of anger and irritability... I noticed it when in my early 20s and I was diagnosed with being bipolar... Not sure what to tell you. I'm sure not everyone who has these fits are fit to be labeled with any sort of personality disorder... But just a thought.
