Day 5. Had a real bad time today. I woke up so happy and cheerful about feeling better. Then the day wore on, and it was a real boring day. Something set me off at the end of the day and before I knew it I was crying. Really not typical of me. Guess I chalk it up to feeling things more acutely all of a sudden and not really knowing how to deal. My habit would normally dictate that a glass of wine and some restaurant bar company would do just the trick...and that would get me through to the end of the day (looking forward to it)...until of course I woke up and remembered why I went out. Now I don't have that to fall back on after experiencing frustration...

I feel better after getting home. Just going to have to work through this one.
