OT- Irritated | Arthritis Information
Does anyone have any techniques for relieving irritation?
I just feel really on edge today for no apparent reason. I have been really reigning it in here at work but everyone is on my last nerve and I don't want to go off.
Sorry you are having a bad day!
You say 'no apparent reason', but maybe think about what is
really bothering you and try to deal with just that; since you are worried about going off on someone at work, maybe let them know you are having a bad day and it isn't them - they might give you a little space for the rest of the day!
Sorry, but Zoloft used to work great for me. Seriously, I don't have any techniques...it's not worth going off on them. As tempting as it may be. I hope you can get through the day. I have days like that still, and I try to compose myself because I know it's me, and not anyone else. Maybe chocolate would help. No I don't want to go off on anyone because nothing anyone is doing would warrant such a reaction out of me. I am not like this at all. (So far I've kept myself in perfect check)
It's really odd-I can't think of a thing that's bothering me....
I think cookies might help- but then I am going to get mad at myself for eating too many calories today! LOL I already didn't go for my walk because it is raining here today.
Go for the cookies. Deal with the calories tomorrow. You need to get through today.
[QUOTE=wanttobeRAfree]Wanna, Have you ever had your Thyroid checked ?? You mean I miss the walk I hate? LOL- it could be that it does me better then I think.
Yes I have had my thyroid checked because I'm fatigued and always freezing, stubborn weight among other symptoms associated with under active throid but they tell me it's fine. Said my B12 is low.
Could it be peri - mental pause?
Sounds crazy, but when I get stressed or cranky, I blast some good old rock & roll in my car really loud with the windows rolled down. I prescribe The Rolling Stones or Lynrd Skynrd!
By the way I bought a pack of cookies from the vending machine. I am allowed a 100 cal snack so I planned on eating 1/2 the pack. I ate an extra cookie and wanted them all so I was good and threw them in the garbage!Taking a drive with some nice music does it for me. Or some lavender
essence oil rubbed at the temples always relaxes me.
Did the cookies work?
Sex.I get like that every now and then. Hormones maybe? Feels like I felt when I had PMS years ago. I've gone through menopause so I can't really understand it. Thankfully it passes fairly quickly and I've got an amazing husband who doesn't hate me when I say mean things and act like a real bitch. lol....sometimes it even irritates me that he can be so understanding. Talk about crazy!
Hide out in your room....eat cookies an watch TV. Tomorrows a new day. Hope you feel better.
I know it's a no no but a miller light helps at times!!Well I made it through the work day and the feeling went away after I left. When I think about it I guess I had a right to feel irritated today. It was one of those days when I would barely be able to put the phone back in the cradle and it was ringing again. Another customer with another piddly problem that was major to them and they needed me to make it all better. My assistant screwed something up really good that I then had to unscramble and fix and then there were a few other co-workers who wanted to shoot the breeze with me but I didn't have time for it today. They wouldn't go away even though I made it very obvious that I was in the middle of a task I had to complete.
So I guess it all built up. I'm pretty easy going so I usually don't feel frazzled but I did.
how about some retail therapy after work? you can get in a bit of a walk and a pair of new shoes does wonders. It's a good thing I live up in the mountains and our tiny mall does not have a sees candies, or rocky mountain chocolate factory!
