What do you think causes someone to wake up grumpy?
Can you go from a good mood to a grumpy mood quickly?
How do you get rid of the grumps?
Do you think its just a natural emotion that needs to play itself out?
How do you deal with grumpy people?

Great thread! Thanks, Kali

I tend to leave people to overcome their grumpiness, leave them to it. I'm only grumpy before I've had my coffee in the morning. After the coffee, I'm ready to take on the world lol.
I'm rarely a grumpy person.

That is pretty awesome Vicki that your grumpies can be cured with coffee. I don't understand how I can go to bed in a great mood and wake up so cranky that it shapes the entire day.

Common trigger or will anything cause the mood shift?

Well, coffee and a cigarette actually lol. I wake up and the first thing I do is smoke and drink coffee. The other morning, we ran out of coffee, and I thought the veins in my head was gonna pop lol... Was irritable, terminally grouchy, only had 6 hours sleep after. a 11 hour work shift, so I rushed off to Starbucks and was so grumpy to the guy that served me in starbucks. "How are you today?" .... "Yeah fine can you just do my coffee ASAP please... I haven't got all day to stand here talking" that was my answer.... I did however apologize to him the next day

Do you think you are getting enough rest/sleep though, Kali? How many hours sleep do you have a night average?? Are you cranky most days?

I don't sleep like I should since I've gotten sick. I sleep in 3-4 hour intervals. But usually things just roll right off my back like water on a duck. The past two days though I've been so grumpy for what seems to be no reason other than I woke up that way.

Usually after a few hours it would pass....these past two days it's hung around.

Do you think that sometimes maybe we just need a break from feeling content/happy?

I think what you're suffering is normal

all you can do is try to snap out of the grumpiness in the morning by doing things what you enjoy, hun

. If you wallow in it, it will hang around, is how I see it personally.
I don't believe that we need to take a break from being happy, as a Buddhist,
I don't believe in that.

That's just it,doing what I love to do to combat it just seems to make it worse

then I end up not likening what I love.

Thats a good way to look at it. Lovely quote.

Is just. Agragrahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so frustrating. I don't like snapping at people I love .ya know. I really need to schedule another massage/ acupuncture combo

I love being able to vent about these things here.

BlackSapphire · 08-15-2014, 05:31 PM

Yeah, maybe see a therapist too. People think that seeing a therapist is not helping yourself, and there is no truth in that at all

I'm always here for you, anytime, anyday! Feel free to PM me. you're not alone

Anything, specially during PMS. I hate snapping at people, but unfortunately that happens without me even realizing I'm doing it, I think I look normal and that I'm speaking normally until people point out I look grumpy and am being snappy. It sucks.

Vicky

Therapy and support groups are awesome. I'm actually in a cancer support group, amazing stuff.

It's expected though with pms, what woman isn't grumpy during that time

unless I'm gearing up for a double whammy this isn't pms related and that is what has me wondering about other peoples grumpies

I really think maybe my inner bitch just wanted out to play for a bit

I think my job has made me cranky.

Sunrise at Midnight · 06-16-2015, 01:17 PM

That sucks Mary

I think a lot of people feel the same way.
