Seeing all these posts makes me feel a lot better about my own mood swings and bouts of nuttiness whenever I get a phone call or email. My mom has gotten into the terrible habit of texting "call me ASAP" for things that aren't important, every time I hear from her I think I got a message on the home phone or an acceptance. She thinks I am a maniac so being here is a wonderful place to normalize my behavior.
relationship stress does make this whole process worse! My fiancé and I are both applying to grad school, phD for me, architecture for him. So hoping that it works out geographically is another stress. For those of us in relationships, hopefully we will find out that love conquers all I guess!
