What's with the mood swings?
You know, I have heard that there is some "condition" out there called SAD, where you get depressed really easily in the winter because of the lack of light, or something like that. I find that I am experiencing something similar, but completely different to that. I find it hard to be in one given mood consistently for more than a day at a time. One day I will be happy, care free, loving life, and the next day I will be iritable and hard to get along with. Another day I will be off in lala land and not really paying any attention to life as it passes me by, and the next day I will be so swamped with things that I percieve that I have to do that I don't know what to do with myself. For example, Sunday was one of the days that I just felt... wierd. I wasn't showing the love and attention that I needed to to my wife and our daughter, I just wanted to go off and do my own thing for most of the day afer church. Monday, on the other hand, saw me coming home happy and jovial, and ready to spend all the time in the world with my family. I guess it's just another personality quirk for me to work on: be Happy!

Nathan, This could be a serious condition or it might just be college burn out. But before you write it off, here are some ideas. Sugar problems can cause these symtoms, so can depression, or bi-polar conditions. Only a doctor can diagnose these for sure. Have you considered going a Dr.? Like you said it could be something simple like SAD or the weather or stress from school. A Dr. might have some ideas to help handle these also. People with moods swings are hard to live with, so do your wife and daughter a favor and consider seeing a Dr.
