CBK, about the yo-yo emotions, I do the same thing. I don't even know yet what causes the switch from feeling okay about things & feeling strong, to feeling hopeless & despondent.
I was going to blame mine on hormones, but I guess you don't get that excuse.
Feel better. Have a great time with your parents.
