Okay so I'm on prednisolone for my Crohn's, I wean down to 5mg tomorrow (the 3rd of February) but I'm still have mood swings?
I've started talking to a guy who is a potential "love interest" I guess you could say and he knows all about my Crohn's and I've warned him about my mood swings. Long story short I've been really snappy and argumentative with him lately and I feel absolutely awful about it. I guess it'd just be nice to hear about some other peoples mood swings they've had with this so I know I'm not alone. I feel like one more "roid rage" episode and it'll all be ruined with him.
At the moment when it's happening it feels like I'm blinded with rage then once I'm calm I feel like the angry person wasn't even me and I feel terribly guilty and tearful...
Is there a way for me to calm myself down if I feel like I'm about to get snappy? It's not just him I get snappy with but friends and family, but they're used to it whereas he's new in my life and probably won't understand it all
