Ive been recieving this new magazine in the mail called Working Mother and I came across this quiz and thought I should share it with and new mommy's out there or 2nd time mommy's, working and stay at home mommy's that might be experiencing any of the symptoms below.
In the past month, have you:
1. More than once found it very difficult to cool off after you got angry? Yes/No
2. More than twice, had two or more alcoholic drinks at night to calm yourself down? Yes/No
3. More than once found yourself mindlessly surfing the web for several hours very late at night? Yes/No
4. Experienced sleep difficulties, particularly waking in the middle of the night having trouble falling back asleep? Yes/No
5. Without thinking, smacked your child or even your husband out of anger? Yes/No
6. Been regularly hypercritical with your spouse/partner, and found yourself arguing regularly as a couple? Yes/No
If you answer Yes to more than three of these questions, it might be worth talking to your doctor or a professional therapist about your anger and whether you might be depressed. Angry outbursts can be a symptom of depression.
