Moody irritable and short tempered

  • Yes - both irritability and lack of patience.  Regretfully.  I don't take medications for this.  I try to take time over things and this helps although I appreciate the irony of suggesting it to be a solution for having little patience!  I suggest that, for me at least, the biggest cause is frustration and often the people and things that my being moody and irritable impacts upon are not the cause of the frustration.  Overall my tip would be that if you're getting too hot notice it.  Try to find a way of getting further from the flames making sure others are safe as necessary.  Reduce the fuel and any wind fanning the flames and most of all try not to put petrol on it!  An explosion may blow the flames out but can cause a lot of damage in the process.  Hope the metaphor makes sense.  Best wishes.

  • But is the medication you think
