I'm the same as you

My husband has terrible mood swings. When he gets an idea in his head he can become fixated on it and his forbid I should disagree with him. I'll go through he'll for days x

Big time. Even recognising I'm having one doesn't stop it happening.

The only solution I have is apologising afterwards

My emotions are up and down at times

I over react and end up crying a lot. Also my anger is easily triggered. The only way I can deal with it by only going out when necessary. I kept getting told it was depression and prescribed anti d's but they made me considerably worse! I took various ones for 2-3 years, but it isn't depression but no one would accept that!

Unfortunately I do not recognise my moods and even when I am made aware of the I find it very hard to stop with my husband but I can with people I do not live with. Wish I New why as we are now getting divorced he says because of my moods.

Have you noticed that no swear word is harsh enough to vent your frustrations, hell, I start making them up !

Zero patience as well, ANY dozyness off nearly anyone is infuriating.

One minute you want to take on anyone, " come and have a go then " the next minute your watching watership down.....Noooooo the poor little Bunny's, Boo Hoo.

i dont use the c word. as far as strangers who piss me off, like my neurologist did the way she was looking at me and i responded and my psychiatrist who kept me waiting 20mins ( my wife asked me to be nice but i flew off the handle because i had an appointment at a certain time and nobody had the decency to tell me he was running late ) i have size to back up my threatening behaviour, but my wife know how to deal with me and im like a cuddly teddy.
