The "I don't know what's wrong with me" mood

in #psychology6 years ago (edited)

Hey folks,

Have you ever been in a nasty mood without having a valid reason? I mean of course you could enumerate a whole list of things that bother you, but when you deeply reflect on your shitty mood, what exactly made it so shitty? Sometimes the answer is absolutely nothing!

All those of you who feel like throwing the word" hormones" at me now, you better watch it!

I'm having one of those days, which already didn't start so well. It was my day off, and I intended to spend it doing something fun. I was so looking forward to having lunch with a friend I hadn't seen in a while, but right after breakfast some severe stomach cramps glued me to my bed. It wasn't until several hours later that I realized that I had once again food poisoned myself with moldy bread. Yes, you heard that right...for the second time! I mean, when will I learn to check the fucking bread? Fool me once, shame on you, but fool me twice, I guess that makes me a freaking moron...

So just for the record, DO NOT EVER attempt to eat moldy bread, that shit is nasty! Even when you toast it!

That was the moment that my mood turned shitty too

The best part of my day was spent trying to get over my cramps while watching movies. When my husband finally came back after work, he reminded me that he had his chess evening with his guy friends tonight (like every Friday). And that's when I thought...fuck. I really did waste a whole day doing nothing, feeling shitty, on my day off...I was pissed.

But I was also jealous.

There was my better half, in a great mood, excited to go play chess with his buddies and have a good time while drinking a beer or three, while I would have to stay at home and keep doing mainly nothing. I told myself how unfair it was that I couldn't do the same thing, meaning go out with my GFs this evening.

But you know the worst part?

I didn't WANT to go anywhere tonight! I'm tired, don't feel so good, and I fall asleep at 9.30pm anyway. It's not like I could go hit the clubbing scene until 4.00am tonight! So you see my problem? It's that I don't have one! I'm pissed for absolutely no reason whatsoever!

I'm having a I don't know what's wrong with me moment.

I'm mad because my hubs can go out and have fun while I can't, but I also don't want to. Go figure, right? Who understands us women? Maybe I need some psychological insight from a pro like @soyrosa LOL

Don't worry, writing about my own stupidity here made me feel better already. And I did finally do something productive (yay!).

Have a great Friday night you guys, wherever you decide to spend it =)

PS: I didn't make that expression up - it's from a French comedian called Gad Elmaleh in his sketch about justifying a cigarette when you're in that mood. It's in French, but maybe you'll find a subtitled version:
