I'll get so absorbed with wanting to change my hair, my clothes, my identity...everything. I dyed my hair a completely different color and now regret it, and I ended up dropping $300. Got into an argument with someone when she said she didn't like it. I've been flying off the handle a lot lately and have been really irritable, almost started breaking things. This is affecting my relationship with a couple of my family members who no longer want to spend time with me due to an altercation I had with one of them. Seroquel is helping me get some sleep, but my mood is definitely off.

So good to see you again, Raven!!
I can relate. More than one person has commented on my "phases". Two, actually, in that specific way -- my mother (whom I don't speak to --toxic, and my ex-h). Neither commented in a positive way. Raspberries to that! All that matters is that YOU like it! I bet you look great.
Irritability sucks. Do you think a med adjustment might do the trick? Though it wasn't initially prescribed for it, I found gabapebtin calmed my *** down considerably. Definitely less prone to irritability. Like a lot. Just something that works for me, everyone is different of course.
I hope it calms down for you quickly.
