I think right now I bounce so much between hypomania and depression, it is just hard to control things. I am not even sure it's a med thing, maybe something I can address in therapy. Not only is it a stressful time of year: the holidays, my daughter's birthday, anniversary of my mother-in-law's 1 year passing away (hitting H hard now), and a hard anniversary of a very bad moment of my life. So I just wonder maybe stress is making life extra hard right now. Even before my daughter was born, before the anniversary of this bad event, before MIL's death, I found it a hard time. Too many false pictures of glorious happiness, as if there is no conflict & holidays are perfect is hard for me, always has been.
