Wow..I am having such horrible mood swings today! I know that is supposed to be part of all this but I really didnt have them before. I guess it does not help that I am sooooo stressed out! I have a nuclear physics test on thursday and even though I know the stuff backwards and forwards I am afraid of screwing up. I have a hard time on multiple choice questions because due to my screwy sight, I tend to circle the wrong answer which is very frustrating. I worked so hard to get into this program(nuclear medicine) only to find out I had graves a month before the program started. I applied for 3yrs with a near perfect GPA and was turned down (its a very competitve program to get into since they take 12 students a yr out of 100) so I was totally elated when I finally got that envelope saying they wanted me. My docs tried to talk me out of going through with it but I worked to hard to quit now. The docs said the stress would make me worse so I have tried to keep my cool until today. I have been snapping at everyone! My internet was down for a while today which held me back from getting my homeword done and I literally felt like throwing my comp through the window! My daughter went to bed mad at me for scolding her for fighting with her brother and my hubby saw me coming and just went to his room with a beer and movie(must be nice) It breaks my heart to get angry with them but I am overwhelmed and this disease has made things so much more difficult for me. I was once a even tempered mommy....I hope today is just a fluke. Daily strength-what a great name because that is what I pray for so often. Lord, give me the strength to make it through this day and give others the patience to be around me!  A nice hot bath sounds good about now. ....oh yea, and a glass of wine(or two)

Good luck on your test, and congratulations for making it into what sounds like a very challenging program!
We all have mood swings, it\'s part of this disease. I find that the hardest part is to forgive myself, long after everyone else has forgiven me. I\'m sure your family is very proud of your accomplishments, and respect how hard you are working to do well. Let us know how it goes.
