Judy,
I am the exact way and it can get better. I just has my blood taken on Thursday so I don’t know where my levels are at yet. Hang in there. I copied a portion of one of my posts. If you go to the board and look for posts by me (sarabear0508- ) you can read much more. Good luck…you’re not alone.

Topic- Emotions- Woman

Post by sarabear0508 on January 10th, 2009, 2:04 pm

Just wondering if anyone else has had the same experience.
During the month most woman get moody when there cycle comes.
BUT, since being diagnosed with Grave’s Disease, the emotional symptoms have worsened. I find that at night I’m so angry I can’t sleep. I’m angry at the dumbest things. Other people better not touch me, talk to me and most definitely not argue with me. If they do..all hell breaks loose. I’m so agitated that I could spit nails. Then, when my cycle is over, the emotions symptoms become much better! This month has been exceptional hard becuase I have been dealnig with many family issues that are stressing me out. The more angry I get the faster my heart beats..the hotter I get …than the volcano explodes!

ANY ONE else feel the same way around that time? I use to get moody before Graves but now I feel like shooting the first person who looks at me wrong!

Oh yes, those mood swings are the part and parcels of Graves. Ugly, irrational things.

I liked this advise here on this board: when right in the moment, scream: "I KNOW I AM HURTING YOU AND I AM SORRY I STILL LOVE YOU I NEED SOME TIME BY MYSELF!"

Where do I start… I am so moody all the time I yell my mood swings are horrible. when i lay in bed at night. I think about how I am hurting my family I love them so much I don’t want to yell I am a mother of a 18 year old and I married my highschool sweetheart we meet in 1983 I love them both so much how can I explain so that they can understand what I am going through . My sons always ask me can’t you control it.. My husband is frustrated with me I really want to stop what is going on, my levels are ok.
Are emotions involved with graves disease?
If anyone has any advice I would love to hear about it..

Thanks
