Join the club. That's about all I can say about that-join the club. I've
been known to go from relaxed and happy to completely stressed out and
p*ssed simply by spending a few minutes in a certain place ie:the apartment
last semester, certain times at work-and nothing really has to happen to me,
it's just what I pick up from what's already there. And I'll go home, to a
friend's, somewhere other than there and after about 30 minutes I'm over it
just because I'm no longer picking up on it.
