Berserker mode

We all know of 24-hour viruses. I wonder if it's possible to have a 24-hour mental illness?

Yesterday, I was a festering ball of rage and frustration, unable to calm myself with any of my psyche tricks, and certainly unfit for company. Why Starr put up with me I don't know, but she did a lovely job of soothing me over the course of the evening, and by 10 or 11 or so I was able to talk politely and slip off to sleep like a normal person.

I don't want to do that one again anytime soon. Not just for anyone else's benefit, but for my own as well. I did not enjoy that.

I've become a believer in the theory that allergies can have major mood-altering effects. Even when I was a wee one, my mom said I'd become a terror on certain days during allergy season. Even now, I've come to expect to have occasional really bad mood days in the spring, and I try to be prepared to handle them as best I can.
