I just posted in the cir forum about pretty much the same thing. Emotions are way out of control today. Way out. Yelled at one of my children for no reason, threw a pot on the floor (hard enough to bend it way out of shape) and slammed some doors. Just want to cry, or hit something. Trying to pray & talk through it.

I stopped caffeine for 3 years. The problem then was that I was always so tired that I was still crabby & emotional. I started drinking it again & am trying to find a balance. Trying to cut out the sugar as well. It makes me more moody than the caffeine I think. But then am having to deal with the low serotonin levels again until my body learns to produce it on it's own again. It has not had to in a very long time due to all of the substance abuse, so it might take awhile. Then there is always the hormones, ah the lovely hormones.

Try writing a list of positive things. See how many you can come up with & reflect on those when a negative thought comes in.
