Full Moon Madness??

[ChampagneBox]

Does anyone else find they get more agitated/anxious/tearful round a full moon? When I was younger when I would act up at home my mum would wisely say ‘well it is a full moon tonight!’ And even now I’ve left home if I feel weird and tell her you can bet your money she’ll say it’s a full moon within a few days accuracy and shes right so I started taking more notice myself and it’s not every month but I definitely get more uneasy/Agitated around a full moon! Anyone else? The science is shaky, there’s no solid evidence, but I have a friend who’s a nurse and she says dementia patients act up more around a full moon too! Lots of people swear by it, what are your thoughts?

PS I don’t think it’s hormones as I have the implant and my regular cycle isn’t 28 days anyway

I once had a period that coincided with a full moon, that was a wild ride

I worked in primary schools for a few years and we always joked the full moon made the children extra crazy in the playground. There was just an ‘energy’.

Everything in nature is effected by the moon cycles, tides rise, many animals mate, or lay eggs, certain plants release spores during full moon, so it makes sense it effects us too. I'm definitely more restless on a full moon night, it's nothing to do with more light shining through the window as some scientists say, as I have blackout curtains and wear an eye mask when sleeping.

Not calling you one but the word lunatic was related to the moon.

Oh my husband used to work in a 'dangerous and severe personality' unit in a prison i.e with true psychopaths
He always said they could tell when the moon was coming up to full because the inmates behaviour changed, self harm rates went up etc

Anyone else been feeling off this week in the lead up to the solar eclipse happening right now?? I’ve had a headache nearly every day this week, as well as just feeling a little odd but it might just be the heat lol

That and the wind I’ve found.

I work nights in a care home and it's always a bad shift when it's a full moon.

My son is autistic and he absolutely changes around a full moon - he doesn’t sleep, he’s more hyper and less settled. I’m in a What’s App Group with parents from my son’s nursery and their kids are pretty much all the same

My mums just rang me saying "Double check your doors, it's a full moon. All the nutters will be out".

She does this with every full moon.

I work in a hospital and several nurses have said that patients can become noisy and aggressive during full moon.

My grandad was well know for his moodiness around a full moon. I’m very interested to see how the moon phases effects me as I’ve been off all week.

We always joke my dad is a werewolf because he turns into such a grumpy bastard during a full moon

 

[Tangent Tiger]

Actually you have all just made me feel a bit better so thank you for that, I've had an infection and associated fever, then there was Jubilee commotion and I was starting to feel certifiable. An hour's walk this morning really helped!

I’m a midwife and we can always tell when it’s a full moon because it’s manic

I used to have a cat whose behaviour changed dramatically when it was it was a full moon. A few times we even took him to the vet because we assumed he was ill, but they could never find anything wrong. Eventually we cottoned that it always coincided with a full moon.

BTW it’s totally true about children and the full moon. Ask any teacher!

My two cats get very agitated at night when there is a full moon.

I'm not good around a full moon, my anxiety goes through the roof and I get really restless!
