Lately, for several days now, I've been having intense emotions for seemingly no great reason. I mean it's a very stressful time, and I'm not having any fun, so that can drive some of this. And I've been having a horrible time of the month (that female mood swing thing) but it's much worse than I can remember it being.

I'm finding it really hard to take, to cope with, and to get things done. All I'm doing is doing less, trying to take it easy on myself, and wracking my brains for something fun. Even meditation isn't cutting through this.

I don't know what to do. It's so painful. I'm profoundly sad, often, and I get angry as well. It's like dark, cold, stormy seas in here. I wish it would settle down.
