Do you have people in your life you can vent to when times get like this? It's probably something dealing with your mother and could also be something dealing with your granny. My godmother has Alzheimer's and keeps asking me if I have a ring on my left hand yet. Twenty times. In the course of a 2 hour family dinner. Yes it gets annoying and I can understand why her husband snaps at her like he does - he has to live with it constantly. So, I understand why you went off, but there is probably another reason why you're so aggressive lately. Sit with it and run through what you think it is. You'll find it. But like Jamie said, talking IS a good start. Hope you find out what it is. Thanks for opening up and sharing this. Do you have people in your life you can vent to when times get like this?

Thumping something, rhetorically or otherwise, can be tempting and quite cathartic. A bloody nose (provided it's just your own... but it never is) is a simple thing to deal with. Maybe a bit of chaos and anarchy serves a purpose after constant self-discipline and responsibility? You had the choice to vent with the insult guy. You don't normally. Doesn't matter if your reaction wasn't really about him or it. For once someone else had to 'deal.' I can see the point. But you have to work with this guy and, as someone once said, "don't shit where you eat." Now find that cat, and kick it!

My mothers's birthday was in May, and I had quite a different relationship with my mom, than my brothers & sisters (almost like I lived in a different house) so I dont really have anyone to share my feelings with... They don't miss her like I do. Anyway just wanted to send you some good thoughts... The month of May is hard for me too.

Caregivers frequently experience a kind of fatigue or burnout. Is there someone you trust to care for Granny while you take a weekend away? Maybe your brother? Sometimes a change of perspective can shed new light on a situation that has become too familiar. Sad,sensitive and restlessness are not necessarily negative emotions.

There is defintely a connection between mood and the sun's position to the earth. Don't know if that provides anything...but take it for what it's worth. In the meantime I am sending good thoughts and wishes for a happier Tony!

It’s like the blues only edgier. It’s even more frustrating when you can’t quite put your finger on what the cause is. I believe that life is just a series of lessons. Some are easy. Some are difficult. Once we get the lesson, then we move on to the next. Easy for me to say, I know, but this mood will pass and the phase you’re in will brighten up a bit with a little time.

The situation you're in is really difficult. I guess right now it's just too hard to find the energy to shake yourself up and out of such a mood. People always say how life is so short, but I imagine for you right now, it must seem pretty damn long. As you said about nine months ago, you're right where you should be, at least when it come to your Granny. That doesn't mean it's an easy place to be (obviously). OF COURSE something bigger is going on, and that self-examination is very painful. Yeah, it'll probably just go away, but likely come back stronger at a different time if you just choose to ignore it. You probably know that anyway. You're a good man, and keep on trying. I hope you figure a way out of this funk soon, because, on a selfish level, you help me out with your blog entries. And I'm sure I'm not the only one... Man, that really sucks.
