You are right @"cranky granny" the side effects of treatment definitely include these mood swings. You are also right in telling yourself it will pass. After a while I could see the pattern of down and then the up times. It does get better again. Glad you went for a walk. This always helped me too.
I think many of us are used to being the strong ones, the one who is there for everyone else when needed. But this is just a short time in your life where you need to let others help you.
