Am I crazy

I am on steriods at the moment and have been on them for a month now, as I have had an infection that has took me into hospital with 4 lots of antibiotics.

I think I am going crazy,,,I have been in floods of tears today because my partner bought me the wrong kind of bacon! I rang him at work and started screaming down the phone about it,,,,,,,,,,that is NOT NORMAL, the smallest little thing is making me lose it,,,am I going mad or is this just a side effect that I should ignore while trying to get better? I have been them before but they have never had this effect on me in the past. Also i know what I want to say but I cannot get the word out, I wanted an avacado but could not remember what they were called and kept calling it a lime, my mind would just not work.

Hi Vicky-HT, sounds like you need to call your doctor and talk to him/her about what you are experiencing. Keep us updated about how you're doing.

I agree with grannyk3. I think a call to your doctor is in order. If this is not normal behavior for you, maybe the doctor can figure out the cause.
