I'm also irritable and stress out over the littlest things. I wish I

getting myself stressed out at times. What do I do with my hormones?

Anyone have any bad experience with PMS or some hormonal imbalance as
such?
What do you do to relieve yourself of it? Do you stress out and snap
easily?

It seems that weight loss does have an effect on hormonal issues. I've
been on birth control pills for many years and as I lost weight, I noticed
I was having more and more side effects and finally had to quit taking
pills with any estrogen at all. Are you currently on any hormonal birth
control? If so, then perhaps there's a type you can take that's not as
strong. Some other things that seemed to help were to quit using any
caffeine at all. That tended to make me feel more anxiety.
