If I Don't Understand, You Couldn't Understand
 Today is just one of those days.  It's a beautiful spring day, my family is happy and healthy, but, I just feel like crap.  I don't want to be bothered, I was to be left alone, I am annoyed, irritated, and don't want to talk.  Unfortunately, my family at these times seem to increase their non stop chatter.  I grin and bear it, but it is driving me batty.  These "funks" or moods are happening more often, so I though it was about time to do some research and get some understanding while in the meantime, get a grip on myself. 

My husband, God bless him, wants to help.  I wish there was some great potion that he could give me to ease the angst that I feel all the time.  Again, if I don't understand what's going on in and around my head and body, how can I expect anybody to understand?  A man's job is to fix things.  When they can't fix things they get frustrated.  So, that's where we are.  I am all stupefied and unhappy and he's frustrated because he can't fix me.  I wish he could. 
 The more my disease progresses the more that I am away that MS has really profound emotional consequences.  I know that my mood is more labile, or easily switches from joy, happiness, to sadness, basically a emotional rollercoaster.  On days like today, I could just give up.  So, as I sit here and do a mental check, trying to raise my spirits, ummm, it just not happening.  But seriously, I need to find out how to get off this rollercoaster.  Any suggestions?
