Does this ever happen to anybody else???

I guess it started out as irritability. I was irritated and didn't know why. I started snapping at my husband for no reason. He didn't do anything. My irritability was confusing. It always is. I started thinking about it tonight - trying to figure it out. I was focusing on the irritability and realized there was a sadness. I guess crying could help me ease the irritability. There is anger too. I guess irritability and anger (anxiety, I dunno) are one in the same. I have heard that anger can mask so many things. I get that and it makes sense. I am just having trouble figuring out what it really is...frustrating.

Anger is a secondary emotion. It comes after an initial emotion, whether that be stress, anxiety, vulnerability, etc. U may just tired, restless, at a certain time of the "lady cycle". There could be many reasons. I think the best thing u could do would be to know that you are feeling this way, and then remove yourself... Go cuddle up with a pet in front of the TV, take a bubble bath, etc. take some time out for yourself and cool off a bit. Get a restful night sleep and hopefully you will be out of the funk tomorrow

Miswimmy1 is right.
I also get irrationally angry very often. I usually just go write to cool off.
Thanks for this!

I read your post and was like "OMG that's me!"
This actually just happened with my boyfriend and I yesterday. He is always super supportive and I am constantly picking fights with him. I get so mean and so angry and my mind is like "what is going on?!" I have no idea what triggers it...sometimes it's just there. The I get angry at myself cause I'm so angry at him for no reason. Then the crying....
I cry after every time i have this frustratingly angry episode (which is often). I start feeling guilty about how I acting, things I said/did. It's a vicious cycle. I know it can be frustrating, but at the very least know there's someone out there who understands and is sending you good thoughts

Talk about a vicious cycle! I feel so guilty when I snap at my husband because he is always so supportive. I get so angry I turn on myself and want to physically harm something. At first I thought it's a teenager thing and I'll grow out of it. Then I thought my birth control was messing with my hormones. Then I made more excuses thinking I would just have to suffer with it alone. Then my husband said "That anger is literally eating you up inside! You need help." So don't suffer any longer than you have to, keep reaching out there there is help.
