Irrational rage and irritation

[CharmingTortoise 83]

I'm not going to say that this is what's going on with you, just my own personal experience. For myself, when my irrational rage and irritation rears its ugly head, I am dipping a little lower in my depression. It may be something you want to talk to your doctor about. That being said though, my irrational rage and irritation is usually like my mother-in-law talking with her mouth full of food or repetitive noises. I do tend to agree with a lot of the other posters in saying that this could be perfection normal result of the surgery. I think getting irked at someone for being a jerk that showed no concern for a fellow human should be considered "normal." What she did is just rude!

As you body lose weight fast you will go through all kinds of change and one is Hair loss. this is tough to deal with. I know it doesn't make you feel good about your self But it will grow back ...You won't go bald and there is not much you can do but up your Protein to 65-70g a day also try nail Vitamin and also( boition) It will help your hair grown faster. try taking zinc,vitamin E and up your Iron..But there is no scientifically proven if this work but it's worth a try...As for depression this is grieving over loss of food ( sugar,fast foods and just making us feel good ) and stress.. you have loss 85% of your stomach ...this takes time you might need to talk to your Dr and or dietitan thing are going to be difficult and overwhelming I work in my yard take walks it help dealing with stress without turning to food..Also this is a Big hormones change to your body be good to yourself..

I am in a very similar position. I know some people in this group or at the meetings have mentioned the ups and downs of hormones during this process, but I would like to add that I am completely irritated and angered by the littlest, trivial things. Most of the time I know I am getting angered over something stupid and I feel my temperature rising, and I can quickly stop myself. Today, however, my tone of voice towards my husband was not the best. I quickly apologized but I still feel guilty. I hope my mind and body catch up to one another soon. I don't like being irrationally nasty. I never had any issues with depression, so I am not so sure that is what it is for me. I also had to see a psychiatrist (protocol) before I could get approved for surgery and he didn't find any underlying issues in the 10 times I went.

Kulita - Yes, that's what I'm getting at. My irrational anger (and yes, rage) is over the stupidest things. My temper is hair trigger. I see it happening. I feel it happening. I can't seem to stop it.

I'm working on it though...
