I would think so. I have the same thing. I am irritable most of the day with everyone because my meds are not currently working. It is terrible as I treat everyone pretty crappy. I think anxiety and irritablity go hand in hand.

Hi,

i get irritable with people mostly when i'm depressed. Do you have any other symptoms of depression at all? Are you on any medication at all that may be affecting your mood?

I am on the birth control pill, but have been on it for over 11 years, some days I am fine, but others I am soooo irritated at most things, the job I am in has made me a lot worse!! :(

Hi,

it sounds like you are suffering from stress - try and think of ways that you might be able to reduce your stress, things such as a 10min walk per day might help you feel better. It's important that you reduce stress if you have control over it, because if you don't your feelings may build up and you could become depressed.

Take good care of yourself.

Im so glad someone else has this! Things like the way my mom eats, or her barley even smacking her gum get on my nerves so bad it relaly makes me want to cry almost (i know that sounds stupid) if im in the car and something is kinda shaking where u put ur drinks I get so mad! I cant stand stupid little things! Thank you for posting htis!!!!!!!!

I agree with previous posts that depression and stress make irritability worse, but there must be something else that triggers such a reaction to everyday things that most people don’t even notice. Something I have not been able to find an answer to. I have been irritable since I was about 3 or 4; it tapered down in my teens but its back in my 30’s with a vengeance. I can’t be around people because just about everything gets on my nerves. I exercise and take herbs to help with the stress and irritability, but it has no effect at all. It is affecting my personal life and work. Has anyone with similar symptoms been diagnosed with anything or knows of anything that can be done to relieve the misery that is living with extreme irritability.
