Thank you everyone.
Denise, I do take medication for my thyroid but they keep changing the dose of it, trying to get it right. The symptoms you described are so on the nose, especially the cold and irritable descriptions. My families way of dealing with something is to joke, so my children call me BP now (bi-polar)and will tell each other to "be careful, mom might go BP on you". I'm still struggling with being able to laugh about it as it's like a huge roadblock in my life but they are kind of right. My mood swings are horrible and tough for everyone around me to handle. My husband is one of the most opinionated, strong willed men I know yet he has developed the habit of calling one of the kids before going home to get a feel for what mood I'm in.
Carol, I would love to meet halfway sometime, I think it would be awesome. Let me get my moods under control first, my kids feel I'm a threat to society at the moment.
Take care everyone,
Minnie
