How to use "Testy" in context?
If you're testy, it's probably because you're feeling overwhelmed or frustrated. You may be reacting to something minor that's making you angry, or you may be reacting to a deeper issue that's been bothering you. Testiness can be a sign that you need more rest or that you're not getting the support you need from your loved ones. If you're noticing that your testy behavior is becoming more frequent or severe, it may be time to talk to your doctor about your condition.
