Many thanks to all who've posted thus far.

There haven't been any repercussions today that I know of, thank goodness. I still feel like a dip-wad for doing it, and today irritability and anger replaced the euphoric wave I'd been riding, so I'm really NOT a happy camper right now. I've already served notice on my family not to take anything I say personally......I'm just being manic and I seem to be missing my usual filter that helps prevent my alligator mouth from overloading my jaybird @$$.

I did call my pdoc today......my luck, he's out until Monday, but the on-call is supposed to get in contact w/ me. It took A LOT for me to call between appointments because I don't want to be a pest, but this wave I've been riding isn't fun anymore. Not when I can spend the vast majority of a workday staring at the work stacked on my desk and being utterly unable to do ANYTHING with it. That's when it's time for some additional help; I'm not in crisis, and I certainly don't need hospitalization, but I can see that possibility in the not-too-distant future if I don't do something now. I appreciate your feedback!
