Yes! I think sometimes the small things are what push us "over the edge"! An example might be a time when we're juggling so many activities and having so many frustrations, and we go into a McDonald's and order a hamburger "without onions." Then when we get the hamburger, we discover that it has onions on it after all. So, we pitch a royal fit about it, and everyone around us is wondering why we're making such a big deal about something so piddly.

I was diagnosed with Bipolar II ten years ago, and I've found that I fare better when I spread out my obligations and responsibilities. Right now you might want to consider cutting back a bit on something and working on treatment for your diagnosis.....Gee, your schedule would tax anybody, much less someone who is trying to deal with a possible mood disorder! Your body's response might be its way of saying, "Let's take it a bit more easy for a bit." What do you think?

By the way, you are obviously one smart cookie!
