Lately I have had a really hard time being angry, grumpy, irritable, and even just plain sad all the time. Little things bother me and I find myself snapping at people and saying things I'd never usually say. What's wrong with me? Anyone else feel like this?

Well, you don't list your age, so that makes this a hard one to answer. If you're a teen its probably puberty hormones, if you're near menopause, its probably that. Otherwise it could be something medical. I would go to a doctor and talk to him about it.
Or it could just be stress. Are you having a stressful time? A student struggling with school? A wife having a bad time in her marriage? Any big changes in your life, good or bad?
Without any information about you or whats going on it could be a million things.

Most said already.
But medical can be a cause as well.
Before I was diagnosed with diabetes, I found myself being angry for no reason, found out high blood sugars will do this.
Thankfully surgars are under controll now, and that mad feeling has passed.
But anger does have many causes, most often, just needing to forgive. :)
Hope you find your answer soon. :)

God bless

Thank you all. I am 41 and dealing with a busy life. Working mom with active kids. But I have an amazing husband of 10 years. I do have a crazy ex husband who causes consistent problems.

Thanks for the help!

I sometimes get that way too. I mean feeling irritated and angry all the time. With me its usually due to either emotional stress or my knee pain is acting up in one or both knees, or I'm just low on energy and everything becomes difficult. I know that it can be brought on by poor eating habits too and or just poor overall health because either one can leave you feeling weak and tired all the time. Another big reason is simply not getting enough sleep. That is probably the most common reason why people feel irritable. I would start by getting the sleep and diet up to par and see if that fixes it first. Also, you might want to start taking a vitamin/mineral supplement if you don't already. Please let us know how you're doing, ok?

God bless.

I get depressed from time to time and that is exactly what it feels like. Can't be bothered with people. No motivation. Anger at tiny things.

It all comes from general unhappiness.

If you've ruled out hormones then you might want to look at some other possible causes. I have been through it all the last few years. Hormones, family relationships, media. Yes MEDIA! I had to stop listening and watching the news. I was getting pissed off just being around the general stupid public. I was expressing everything you say you are. I was hormonal but it was more than that.

I started reading the Bible again and praying, but things didn't really start to come together until I found people who could talk to me about what I was learning and help me put the world into perspective the way God sees it. That's when I finally started feeling a calm come over me. Like I wasn't the only one, but also that I didn't have to be sucked into the negative dark feelings either. I started treating and talking to my family and others, kinder, actually behaving loving...even when inside I wanted to lash out.

We all need and get attitude adjustments, it's part of growth. I often find that much of my own anger, grumpiness and sadness is associated with something I can change. It's just that it's hard to accept and do something I don't want to do. Part of my attitude is like growing pains. If another person is part of the problem, then I can only do what I can do. If I know I'm right or in harmony with God's thinking; then I just put a comfortable distance between us. Once I take control of my feelings I start taking steps to do to something different and everything seems to take shape for the better. I'm not nearly as depressed as I used to be. I don't take drugs for it. I just let God fix me.

Maybe that's what you need too.

I guess this could be good example of what it means to serve God with our whole mind, body and soul. If we are not taking care of our bodies the way God expects us to, then we become unhealthy. Unhealthy people don't think right or behave right or healthy in God's eyes. If we are to serve him whole mind, body and soul, then we are under obligation to take charge of our health and make sure that we are not doing unnecessary things that cost us very necessary sleep or make us sicker than we are already prone to be. He knows we are imperfect and allows for that, but we could do a lot better than we do. And that takes our whole soul just to do what we know to be right or better. We can't stay in a state of weakness if we are having faith. We are told that times would be difficult and that we are to encourage one another to get up, to lift up one another, get stronger and take the steps because you deserve to feel better. And because God deserves our whole worship.

Be strong in faith and we'll be strong in body and mind. Illness is weakness, not always our fault because of imperfection, but it is weakness. We must fight what we can, together.

We are all in this together, but we can't forget that Christ gave his life for a reason. That's the hope of God's Kingdom to take it's place here on earth as it is already in Heaven. Only then, will we have the peace and good health without death as God originally intended for humankind.

God be with you and all.

Well you do have a lot of stress in your life, plus it could be female hormones, plus it could be the physical factors that Zeroturbulence mentioned....or probably a combination of all three.

Maybe it's easier to start with the physical factors...eating right, getting enough sleep, exercising (and get to a healthy weight).

A book that has really helped me with my thought-world is Joyce Meyer "The Mind is a Battlefield". Our mind is where Satan attacks us, so we shouldn't ignore what's going on in our heads.

Most importantly, spending time with God with calm us and direct us to the paths of righteousness...make time to spend with Him and talk with Him. It will make a big difference in how you cope with stress :).

I thought my thoughts were just there, I had no control of them. When I learned I could choose, everything changed. If life still didn't come together I used God's thoughts instead of my own.

Chances are its just more stress related. Crazy exes can be a huge area of stress. I would try taking time for yourself more often. Maybe go for a 10 minute walk every day, or reading a relaxing book for a while. I understand 'busy' but i doubt there's anything in your life so important that you can't find someway to fit in some 'alone time' daily. Especially when you consider the costs of not doing so. Ruining marriages, mistreating your children, ruining your physical and/or mental health.
I'm no doctor, but there are some women that go into pre-menopause even at your age, may still be good to check with a doctor for that, or for any shortages of vitamins, etc.. Or anything else. Sometimes its something small. My friend had problems staying awake and being sleepy all the time. Had a doc check her and her thyroid was blown. So she takes a pill once or twice a day and she's fine. So its always good to have these things checked.
Also, as mentioned, diet, exercise and sleep are more important than most people realize.

It could be related to menopause,feeling of failure in ur endeavours,incessant sickness,hurtings from the past.The way out could be,get involved in a home Church,after visiting a counsellor,take constant teachings on Gods word

I have to say I thought I was the only one like this. Only I have dealt with this my entire life! I've been in and out of the doctor, and on all different medicines, and diagnosed with a couple different diagnoses. And really I've been to talk to counselors, I've been hypnotized. And the ONLY thing that works for me is going up to the front of the church, and requesting for prayer for peace. OR re-dedicating my life to Jesus Christ. And a couple times a day just focusing on Gods peace and love. Some of the books of the Bible are wonderful, like the letters at the end that Paul wrote to like the Corinthians, and Phillipians, and so on. It's an everyday struggle to battle this, but if you take my advice, it will really work!

It's helped me learn that there's no medicine like Jesus! Jesus is the only doctor, Counselor, Dentist, Comforter. Give him your all and you will be blessed
