My temper would explode over really kind of trivial things. I lost patience with my kidcats, which is such an awful feeling, afterwards.

The only big issue for me, now, is I've almost completely lost my appetite. I force myself to eat at least one meal a day. This is something I've dealt with before, once losing almost 30 lbs. It's how I react to ongoing stress and I'll probably be like this until after the election results come in. Well, and depending on the outcome, maybe for the rest of my life.
