In a bad mood??

I’ve been grumpy, cranky, moody, you name it, lately—if it’s negative, I’ve felt it.  I hate feeling like this because it magnifies the smallest thing until I can’t see past it, and then I become obsessed with its details, accomplishing nothing towards the really important things that need my attention.
