Yeah I have no tolerance and I get annoyed easily but I am usually like that anyway but it has gotten worse since DH left.

It's definitely not just you

I know what you mean! I personally think it's stress. Even if our lives are otherwise the same, just our SO is deployed, it still adds a lot of stress. We don't have their in-person support any more, they may have helped us a lot (like with house chores) and can't now, and then the stress of knowing they could be in danger... it puts a lot on a person! And stress does horrible things to people... it makes people cranky, irritable, moody, and can even cause you to get sick! Makes it SO much harder to deal with other people.

I know I'm under a lot of stress. I have a LOT going on that was not happening before DH deployed. As his deployment crept nearer and nearer, a lot of stuff started happening, and it is just continuing (been dealing with it for about 2 months now). Eventually it will go away... but it's a process. In the mean time I AM being more irritable than normal. Sometimes I just have to get away from people, go out by myself to relax and chill out. It helps sometimes, other times it doesn't. I try to make it a point to tell people, "I'm under a lot of stress and am really cranky and don't feel well. I'm trying not to be a jerk, but if I snap that's why." It's not an excuse and doesn't make my behavior "ok", but I want people to know. I don't want them to have to walk on egg shells around me, but at least if they are aware of what's going on they know to give me some space when I request it.

I don't even want to answer my mother's calls anymore. Another really good friend of mine complains about being tired at work all the time and not feeling well. Most of the time it's because she stayed out too late drinking the night before. I just want to scream "how about staying home and not getting drunk like a responsible person". I have to really try hard to bite my tongue.

Ok I'm glad I'm not the only one. I feel bad I'm like that, but I just can't seem to shake it. I just don't feel like I have the time to deal with their stuff. Especially when they don't help themselves.
