It may sound simple Chuck, but sometimes all it takes is a good night's sleep !

Manofmusic, you are correct about a GOOD nights sleep.

Sugars and caffeenes and sporatic nourishment make for a emotional roller coaster rides also. Factor in some stress and it is only a matter of time before anyone implodes.

Eat and drink nourishing foods. In proper amounts regularly.

Glad your day feels better. If your taking meds they can have the effects you mention. I have to be alert to the triggers that anger me. If I think someone does not care and they use me or ignore things of concern. I can go from feeling great to feeling like being under a bus quickly. Thats when Dad get's cranky. It takes some effort and time to rebound. The more I learn and understand and work therapys like Stress's and Dr. Kieths I can usually rite the cart much quicker and it does'nt get tipped near as easy.

I know that feeling of "great" to "under the boss" all too well. It's like the movie title, Gone In 60 Seconds.

Thats when Dad get's cranky.

That's GREAT you know your triggers. I also am aware of times of my triggers. When I feel anger/disgust/etc. coming on, I try and switch my mind to something else.

You are so on point! For me, sleeping/going to bed early is one of my best "weapons" against depression/frustration/anger/etc.

I'm glad you liked the video. It was funny to me as well. You always talk about your Italian side and I just seen this utube...

Glad it was just a passing day, and the new day was so much better!

Thanks!

Still good. In fact, I get very, very brief flashes of "you're not worthy of this," meaning I am not worthy of a job that I like (the nature of the job, the job activities, job success, and a manager who is doesn't micro-manage or isn't overbearing).

The majority of my employment career has been spent in jobs I didn't like (just doing for the cash) with managers I didn't like. I guess my body and mind are still getting used to this pleasant gig.
