Narcolepsy Support Group

I was working full-time, going to school full-time, and taking nothing N for quite sometime. Even now, on Provigil, no longer working, but taking on 6-8 classes a semester (which is like working a double shift) I can become irritated easily. Most people I know call me the "Queen of the Gemini's" because my mood can switch in 2.5 seconds but that only happens when I am just so worn down.
She has a lot on her plate! Someone else had mentioned this, but it is quite daunting to have my routine disrupted. And her routine is now balancing school, work, and family - that's difficult for anyone. If it worsens, discuss it with her doctor. If she's on meds and it started happening after she had the baby, it could be a natural chemical change that her meds are not adjusting to.
Best of luck!

I too am extremely moody. When I am on stimulants it intensifies my moodiness. I visited with my doctor and he said I have stimulant induced rage and am now taking antideppressants for it. They seem to be helping and I dont lose my cool too quickly now. It shows that you care by recognizing that there is a problem. I always fel better knowing that my husband understands that I am just irritable about my life and it really has nothing to do with him. I appologize when I realize that I blew up for no reason and he accepts my appologies. It wasn't always this way, but we have had to learn how to deal with this together. He tells me that he recognizes everything I do and he knows that it is hard on me. Most of the time if he just tells me that, I am nice for days!! Just to hear him acknowledge my hard work and know that I am appreciated makes me feel good. Sometimes women just need to feel appreciated. If you just do one thing extra for her a day, something that you normally don't do, it would make a big difference in your relationship. If momma ain't happy, nobody is happy!!

lol cherie, dont feel bad....I was thinking the same thing.

I dont have much to add except that just working full time and going to school is a butt load of stuff for a normal person but to throw a baby into the mix......
First of all her hormones are probably still out of whack. Being pregnant and than not is a huge stress on a womans body. Plus if she is taking birth control pills that can add to the mood swings. I know that when I was on the pill I was a monster! But also remember.....age also comes into play here as when I was young I didnt know how to express my feelings very well or handle anger etc. I didnt know how to fight fair and in all honesty men and women are differant as to how they see things. My husband and I read the book Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus and we both learned a lot as to how each of use sees things differantly.

Time and age will help the both of you. I have been married for 23 years and having a partner is not always easy. You have your ups and downs but each time you fall apart you come back together even cloaser.
Giving her time to cool down when she is mad is super important because women need time to sort things out in there heads. I always need that time. To help me when I am upset my husband leaves me alone for awhile and than he comes and rubs my back or head which always melts me and than we can talk. From a womans stand point sometimes we just need to feel that our spouse hears us and says....there there little girl everything is going to be ok and I am here with you.
Hope this helped some and good luck with your and your family.
