Lately I've found myself to be overly sensitive and easily offended. I've blamed the heat, overly active hormones, fatigue, lack of chocolate and my new eating plan. Surely it couldn't be my fault? Here's a great list of questions I found in the book "How to get your husband to talk to you" by Nancy Cobb and Connie Grigby.
- Do your feelings get hurt more than once a day?
- Do you want to "get even" with people who hurt your feelings?
- Do you hold onto grudges longer than a day?
- Do you readily accept the apologies of those who offend you?
- Do you pout?
- Do you withdraw from your "offender"?
- Do you give your offended the silent treatment?
- Do you sometimes forget why you got mad in the first place?
- Do you let others treatment of you affect the way you treat them?
- Do you withhold forgiveness until the one who hurt you apologizes?
- Do little hurts bother you?
- Do you become defensive regarding constructive criticism?
- Do people have to tread lightly around you?

I think I can relate to a few of those ;) I'm not sensative... just emotional ;)
Happy TT!!
Blame it on the lack of chocolate and tell everyone else to "Back off!" ;) I got your back sis!!!
I'll send chocolate if I need too, you know when in times of need, it's ok to indulge alittle! ;) That's my philosophy anyway!
Love ya!
Hmmm. Something to think about... I can relate to a few of those, unfortunately.
Have a great Thursday!!
I think I too can relate to most of them. Sometimes when you've changed your eating habits, you become cranky because of some nutrients that are not in the food you're eating now. Or sometimes you might be having PMS? I do sometimes feel this way. I just tend to consider it over sensitive for the day.
My TT13 is up too.
Yeah I'd blame it on the lack of chocolate too. Since marriage counseling I've learned how to cope with most of those on the list 9 & 12 still get me sometimes; especially when it's my Mom trying to "help" me. However most of that changes when I'm dieting & the rest of the house is sitting at the table eating banana splits. *sigh*
My TT is up. Have a great day! :-)
I think that the reasons that you stated: I've blamed the heat, overly active hormones, fatique, lack of chocolate and my new eating plan......
those I believe are the problems....seriously I think that and being chocolate deprived have a LOT to do with it...We women are a complexed makeup...We need some of that to just survive you know.
My TT is up!! Somehow I thought of something..Remember our talk on TT? Well something just popped out of this brain matter of mine...Have a great day...Just me again
Mostly I tend to be pretty even tempered and generally happy. But when I was depressed ... wait, let me restate that... when I'm not ON my anti-depressant, THEN I can answer in the affirmative to just about every question!!! But ON my happy pills - I truly am a happy easy going person. Of course, I no longer have to deal with PMS! And THAT makes a huge difference too! And I left you a fabulous recipe for a very fullfilling chocolate treat in your other blog!!! I hope you try it -- even the NON-dieters in my home LOVE it!
For the life of me I do not know what you mean by this.....I am hurt and I might even be mad!!!!!!
Just kidding....it's menopause. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I'm glad you stopped by my T13 but you didn't comment....I'm so sad! But I still love ya!

Hope you feel better soon, get some chocolate, take a long bath, and read a good book! Thanks for visiting my TT!
Umm, probably yes to most of those at one time or another, or sometimes all of the time;-) Three cheers for chocolate!
I am sometimes oversensitive but I try not to take it out on others. Usually when we are it's really an old hurt that has been restimulated rather than what we think it's about.
My 13 is a size medium in pink.
I am sensitive at times but ALWAYS need chocolate :)
Happy TT , I finally got one up it has only been two weeks lol.
Sometimes I am overly sensitive...but usually it is just because things seem out of control generally or I need sleep. Hope you feel better soon...you are a sweet girl...
Almost of us I guess go through this period and what's important here is we are aware of it and we are able to find ways on how to cope with it.
Taking a bite of chocolate just for today I think will not destroy your diet plan. So go for that favorite chocolate of yours.
Hope you'll be better tomorrow.
Lack of chocolate definitely makes me cranky :)
I must admit that that list hit a little too close to home for my comfort...but I am chocolate deprived too!
Great list--applies to most women I know and a few men. I loved #8.
My TT is up.
I must be chocolate deprived too!
