Anger
I'm not a very nice person. I get so irritable and irritated lately...actually, just plain angry, and feel as if I could bite someone. I have no patience with people doing their jobs poorly (because, of course, I'm so perfect). I was heading into grumpy old/middle-aged womandom before BC but, far out, I've exceeded all expectations. I'm wondering if it's lack of oestrogen or just plain bad temper.

- Maybe your youngest needs some Baroque music!
- Not sure that remorse is in her makeup but we are back on an even keel for now. My manager must have been concerned about me yesterday as she was quite happy for me to put my headphones on at the desk and "test" a Baroque CD (Baroque music is supposed to be soothing and mentally clarifying!).
- @Sistet Well done for moving on so quickly. I hope the youngest showed some remorse. K xox

Found this article and the comments on mood and seratonin interesting. Explains my moods and why I feel so much more apathetic now. - @Zoffiel My father-in-law sometimes teases me about not coming home when I go out. He says (in a thick Belfast accent) "don't be running away with no sailor". And I say "If I'm running away Harry I'll be running away on my own!"
- Me too! As soon as my Herceptin treatment is over I want to get out of here. I know it sounds silly, but I equate living here to my cancer so I want to leave it behind and move on.
