Why I'm so mean. I'm just going off on everyone even my boyfriend. Anyone else like this?

Yes, that was what she was asking but I thought I would share why it is a good idea to control it.  I do think those that have the worst issue with hormonal outbursts are those that have less ability to control their impulses.  It's absolutely something to work on.  Flying off the handle often or being mean to loved ones creates unnecessary problems that a simple "oh, hormones. Sorry" more than a few times isn't going to fix.  So, as women, it is best to work on controlling our impulses.  

good luck to the poster

I was under the impression that she is asking why she's being mean.  Not if it's excusable. Being mean to anyone regardless of sex or situation is never ok but it happens.  Babywebb, if you feel it's out of control then you need to tell your obgyn. It is normal to have all these crazy emotions flowing around you.  Let your loved ones know that you know you're being mean and you'll work on it but that ask that they be patient as well. Don't think there's something wrong with you. Take a lot of ' you ' time and try to relax.  We have 3 other kids so my husband lends a hand where he can.  For me,  Being in the tub or shower helps clear my mind.  You'll be ok.  ;)

I just want to say that hormones are really no excuse for treating our loved ones badly.  :>)  we need to control that.  It's a self control issue.  While you may be more prone to aggravation and outbursts due to hormones --  you have to not act on them as that gets old quick.  As women, our entire life we have shifting hormones from PMS, to pregnancy, to breastfeeding, to menopause.  Flying off the handle and being mean will make our loved ones question if we are good for them if we do it too much.  So, find ways to not take hormones out on people.  good luck
