Do you notice how your posts, responses and general attitude on any message board can give away your mood for the day? I've noticed that lately. Right before AF arrives I tend to be a bit jumpy, attacking and grumpy towards people at home and also when I go back and read what i've posted during those times I can seem to be a bit that way on the boards. Those are the days I usually disappear for a bit so as not to seem bitter to anyone. But there are days where my posts seem so cheery and I seem to think "I must've had a lot of coffee that morning" LOL! But do you notice that with yourselves? It never occured to me until recently but I thought it was interesting.

I have noticed that, not only about myself but about others posting. I have taken breaks on days when I feel like I am being bi**hy too. I also try to go back & apologize if I have said something I think may have hurt someone's feelings or may have come out wrong.

Yeah, I get what your saying. Usually when I'm PMSing is when I notice a difference in my posts, LOL! But yes, when I am not in a good mood I try to stay off as well. I think it's quite normal (I hope anyways LOL)

Yes I took the whole evening yesterday off, as I was quite irritable, I can't explain it, my dh is noticing my attitude and I am more then 10 days away from my "start date". But anyway, yes lately I have been needing to keep my opinions to myself...lol. Glad you posted this I will pay more attention to my current surrounding and how I feel BEFORE I post. LOL

I think it is admirable to notice your feelings and stay away or avoid posting when you know you are in a bad mood. (Of course I think it's admirable - I try to do the same thing myself - LOL).

But really, ladies, glad you brought this up and it is behavior we all should emulate - both at MV and in general.
