Hope you find the help you seek.

These symptoms that change so much are challenging for the strongest and most sane as well.
Yes, that is the challenge. I try to keep most bitching to my wife, save most work nonsense. For that I just chalk it up to stuff not worth sweating. Even with unlimited partner support I still languish at times. Morning grocery shopping was postponed until the afternoon. I had a morning where staying in bed would have been preferable, though my almost three year old felt otherwise.

I did make sure a handful of people at work know the score as far as PN. I never want to use it as an excuse for behavior and performance, but it is on the pitch and wins some battles.
