Looking for an argument

Just let someone say or do the wrong thing when this mood strikes and they are going to get an ear full and I don't know why because I am not normally like this. It is like I need to scream or yell at someone. I had my grandson with me last week and I even lost patience with him because I thought he was crying and whining alot. He wasn't doing anything. It was just me and this mood or whatever you call it.

My poor DH says that he doesn't know what to say or not say because he doesn't know what will set me off.

I take Darvocett for the pain and I have been having to take more of it lately and I take flexiril and I have had to up that dose also to try to get relief. I am just at my wit's end because I don't know what is causing this.

Is it the depression from hurting so much and not feeling like doing the things I enjoy? Is it because of taking more pain meds.? I don't know.

I just wanted to see if it happens to any of you guys. I have been feeling like I am losing what mind I have left. I get so upset over nothing and I hate it.

I try really hard to just keep my mouth shut, but sometimes it just comes bubbling out and I can't seem to stop it.

For me, I think it is possibly coming from my new medicine...Cymbalta..60mg dly!! ??

I have and can cry about everything. A good cry is nice, but what the heck? I'm not usually like this. And then I'll be talking to my DH and he'll say something, and before I know it, my mouth is in full gear, we get into a 'heated discussion' and he stomps off. I mean geez, we were actually getting into a heated argument last night over making a 'mound of dirt' in the backyard so I can plant some pretty flowers! For me, I think its my Cymbalta...and if this weekend proves to be no better...I'm quiting that med Monday morning, after I call my doctor! Dea

I'm sorry it is not funny about you getting into an argument over a mound of dirt but I really laughed out loud. I know the feeling so well.

Hubby still brings the the BIG argument we had over coffee cups. For some stupid reason when I fix our coffee, my cup is on the right and his is on the left. I go on auto pilot fixing coffee, his takes 3 spoons of sugar, me 1 1/2. That day he put the cups on the counter and mine was on the left, so my cup ended up with coffe in it the way he drinks it. Now could I have simply switched cups with him......NOOOOOOOO....I totally went off. Ended up pouring the coffee out and starting all over. Of course it was all his fault for putting the cups out wrong, I mean my gosh how dare he.

I couldn't even blame it on the Cymbalta, I wasn't taking it at the time, who knows maybe I should have been.

Anyway Tuffy, thanks for another chuckle, you do put a smile on my face.

Just about every command, idea, suggestion or phrase out of my mouth is met with a lengthy, passionate diatribe about why they should not be asked to do this or that, and why it is unfair, or why I am WRONG and they are RIGHT! These are the most stubborn, persistent kids in the world, and I attribute this love of "debate" to their father, my ex-husband. They also know that when I'm having a bad pain day or in a fibro flare, I'm more likely to give in because I lack the energy to fight for my way.

I'm also more likely to blow up in anger if I get into it with them, and I have a hard time maintaining my calm and composure when I am feeling lousy. I try to avoid confrontations and heated arguments because it makes the pain so much worse. Most days I just pray to Heaven, "Lord, give me strength!"
