Karen Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I'm on day 5 and I'm so mad I could scream!!! Are these two things related? I left work early so I wouldn't snap. All I wanted to do when I got home was yell into a pillow as loud as possible. I have a lot of demands at work these days but I'm usually pretty even-keeled despite so this is totally uncharacteristic of me. I didn't even think about the diet changes as being the cause until I was venting to a co-worker and she pointed out that she normally never sees me at my breaking point and maybe I should consider some time off. Hmm, that's not me at all (though I would LOVE to be able to get a break!) Should I blame the constant changes to a project that I have to react to every. single. day. or the food changes? I ate pretty clean before this so I'm tempted to point the finger the other way but any input would be appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamra Wysocki-Niimi Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hi Karen, There was just a Whole 9 blog post on symptoms of a Whole 30. You might be experiencing Kill All Things! You can read about the symptoms/timeline here: http://whole9life.com/2012/06/the-whole30-timeline/ It should pass soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 So I'm not crazy!?!?!? AWESOME! Thanks! Ha ha, I haven't felt that unhinged in a long time! Crossing my fingers the rage is gone tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InkblotJo Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Haha yes, I wish someone had warned me about Kill All the Things syndrome before I started. I just finished day 7, and I hope it's over, but around days 3-5, I had moments in the afternoon/evening when I just felt unreasonably, irrationally angry. I resolved this by going a few rounds with my punching bag or taking a long walk Good luck, and hope you're feeling better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Thanks. A punching bag sounds awesome right about now! Now it appears I'm taking it out on my 4 legged friend, Baxter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colleen Roy Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Kill All Things! hit me on day 6. I woke up to a puking dog and that was it-set the tone for the whole day. I was snapping at everyone-mostly my husband-and when I told him that he woke up the same way, he said "no, I woke up to YOU." Fortunately, he went to work and I cleaned my house top to bottom....that helped! Everyone survived the day-even the puking dog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattiM Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I did my kill all the things yesterday. My family is lucky because had it been today, I would have been getting my exercise by digging three six foot holes in the yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lalalana Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 HA!! Mine was definitely yesterday!! After surviving my stepdaughters pizza party sleepover complete with vats of m&ms, a chocolate cake, and red lobster with the fam I was definitely about to come unhinged. I think exerting that kind of willpower really drains your emotional reserves. I felt very emotionally thin, if that makes sense. I come home to find that my husband left all the dirty dishes around with old food on them (pet peeve!!) and a Pizza Hut box with a huge delicious looking slice of pizza sitting right on the counter!! Lucky for him he works out of town and had already left for the week, so rather than facing the rage in person he just got a mini-dose over the phone. Realized this morning with my cycle started that I actually survived all of that while PMSing...I solemnly swear that there are no teenagers buried in my backyard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyD Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Apparently I'm a little slow. It's Day 8 and definitely Kill All Things. I didn't even realize it until I was almost punching the computer when I couldn't share my blogpost the way I used to do and The Wonderful Boyfriend was trying to be helpful with all kinds of suggestions that made me want to slap him. The title of today's blogpost? People That Annoyed the Crap Out of Me the Most This Week I wish I were kidding. http://thatwriterbro...most-this-week/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
