I'm finally able to put it in words. But it still doesn't make sense.

So for like the past couple months I've been snapping left and right over tiny things, that normally I'd just shrug off. And it just came to me a few minutes ago, when I tripped over the vacuum cord and slammed my lovely shoulder into the edge of the wall. At that second I wanted to scream, and cuss, destroy the wall for just doing it's thing holding the house up and what not. Then I have my oldest son ,16, following me making his usual sarcastic remarks lol, it wasn't funny in the moment, I was ticked. Anyways, I have been especially short fused lately. Not like disturbingly short, but short enough I even notice it at this point. Anxiety? I remember doing this same type of thing this past October before being put on the Zoloft. I'm ranting, so bear with me, I hate the Zoloft side effects. The RLS was the worst. I would sit and punch my legs and just have to walk, and walk, and walk some more. It would wake me up in the middle of the night... Then the headaches which were tolerable, compared to the RLS.. I don't know I'm just trying to make sense of the mess I am at this point. Thank you for spending the past however many seconds of your life reading this mess lol 🤪

Well, give yourself a break. Maybe you're trying to get too much done with all the vacuuming and housework. I know it needs to be done, but maybe don't overwhelm yourself by trying to get it all done at once. Do a little bit at a time and take breaks.

I try to do that frequently. I can accept alot, but it's nearly impossible for me to accept my house is going to be a mess, even with my kids just being kids, ya know. Thank you for the advice 🙂

I feel for you. I’ve been short tempered too. I finally realized that I feel bombarded with bad news all around, covid-19, upcoming elections in the US, and layer on disturbing civil unrest and schools reopening. I don’t actively seek out bad news, but can’t seem to get away from it. I hope you feel some relief very soon.

Thank you, I hope you get some type of relief too!!

That cord and that wall assaulted you, the cord attempted to murder you and the wall is its accomplice. I'd destroy them both.🤣

Thank you. I felt taken advantage of because it knew I was already feeling some type of way, and then they plotted together. Jokes on them, I'm still alive. 😂

I’m sorry I having so much trouble with the Zoloft. Fortunately my only side effect is been and intimate situations. Talk to your doctor about either reducing it or finding another medication that doesn’t react that way. If I shake I chalk it up to my ADHD
