Okay, let's try this *again*, since the boards ate my response. 
Snoops -- yeah, that's it. The arrythmia or however it's spelled.
Neither of us is seeing a therapist yet. I think we're both considering it for the future. But I'm not ready yet, and my mom won't slow down enough to do it yet.
As for going ahead and taking time to curl into my shell. I know from past experience that if I let myself do that, it'll take a lot longer for me to come back out and open up again. Typically, once I get into my shell, I'm there for a while. So I need to resist that urge and force myself to continue talking/typing even when I don't want to. That's why I went ahead and posted last night when I didn't feel like it.
Keli -- Intellectually, I know what we're going through is normal. Knowing that doesn't make it much easier to handle.
And today, I'm the one in the bad mood. I'm wanting to growl at anything and everything, and *man* am I in a bad mood. No specific anger, just generic.
