I also have a tendency to anthropomorphize Parkinson’s. I talk to it, and about it, as if it were a person.

I am with Ray, although being a manly man ;) I have always teared up at Hallmark commercials...and don't even mention the returning military members surprising family. Now it is even worse, I lose it during moments in movies and TV shows. I have heard the term emotional incontinence being used, which seems to sum it up pretty well

We all have so much to deal with on a daily basis and for many of us we have lost lost so much. Frustration and hyper sensitivity is a logical result. I lash out more often now, especially when I am told that I can't do something I used to easily do. I must thank God for giving me the most wonderful husband. He no longer gets angry or impatient when I "react" to something he says. He understands. He let's me off the hook afterwards by telling me he knows I am sorry and that I am just frustrated. But every once in a while he will just look at me smile and tell me I was like this long before PD and he still loved me!

Yes! I feel so very frustrated sometimes that I have to sequester myself in my room. I am trying to take more time to get things done or if they don’t get done that day and have to take a nap, so what? Being good to myself and trying to accept that I have challenges has been hard. ❤️
