That's a great description, Joe. I'll never understand it fully, but you've given me something I HAVE felt to compare it to.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like my first full day home from the hospital after my son was born. Between the physical recovery from the C-section, fluctuating hormones, several hours of sleep deprivation, and a new baby, I was an emotional wreck.

I have a great deal of sympathy for people with clinical depression and bipolar disorder. As long as that is the cause of their bitchiness and not simply because they are an a**.
Thanks, guys.
