Bad Mood Bear

I've been struggling with mood swings lately. It's not anything new, but over the last couple of weeks that it is having a severe impact on my functioning as a human being. I'm snapping at my roommate, boyfriend, lab mates, and storekeepers. I was almost in tears today over something in the bike shop which should have had absolutely no impact on me whatsoever, but I wasn't able to shake it.

I made an appointment to talk to a counselor next week, although I wish it could happen Now. It does give me a little bit of time to collect myself and get my head on a little tighter, which I suppose is good. I need a permanent solution to this problem though, because I am not the person that I want to be when I am constantly battling my project self vs. my internal self.

These aren't the most coherently written blog posts, but the act of getting this stuff out there is helpful. Additionally, taking some time to just practice writing and getting things down is helpful, both emotionally and academically. I need all the writing practice I can get.
