Grumpiness/bad moods

[mrsg123]

For you, what is being in a bad mood or being grumpy a symptom of? I have no reason for it. I get plenty of exercise, it's not PMS. I'm in such a bad mood, for no reason.

How is the weather where you live? Do you get fresh air? How are you sleeping?

Being tired or being hungry, almost every time. A quick hit of protein works wonders for me - almonds, a glass of milk, peanut butter sandwich, etc.

I do get fresh air and have been sleeping well. Maybe I will spend some time outside today. Good idea.

I will try this too. Thanks.

Being tired or over stimulated, like I've only had 1.5 hours to myself in the past 9 days. I'm becoming very grouchy and snippy.

I have become a big advocate of vitamin d for the winter blahs

Interesting. I might try some.

Get laid.

Well, that always solves DH's bad mood, anyway. For me, I'm usually tired, hungry, touched out, or just sick of winter (vit D is good).

Usually if I can't figure out the reason something is subconsciously bothering me. It might be stress from work or financial issues. But if I can't figure it out I try to sleep it off. Things always seem better when I'm well rested.

If I'm grumpy, I'm usually tired, need me time, or need a date night/fun time out with adults. This is definitely more frequent in the winter, when we tend to spend most of our time hanging out indoors at home, so I'm thinking I should give vitamin D a try.

Tired
Been with the kids too much (h works a TON)
Not getting personal space or time
Being touched out

Basically don't touchme or need me for anything and then I'll be in a good mood.

Feeling like I've been "on" (parenting, chores, work, whatever) without downtime for too long.
Too many things on the household todo list
dehydration

Hungry or indecisiveness about what the next meal is going to be. I like to know when, where, and what I'm going to eat.

Also, lots of different noises going on at the same time: talking, tv on, and DH watching a video on his phone drives me up the wall.

Tired
Hungry
Feeling like I'm doing more than DH

Sometimes just no reason at all--allow yourself the occasional short pity party for no apparent reason and then move on. But don't feel like you need to justify a bad mood with something rational.
