dysphoric -- Sister Jen

dys·pho·ri·a Pronunciation (ds-fôr-, -fr-)
n.
An emotional state characterized by anxiety, depression, or unease.

[New Latin, from Greek dusphori, distress, from dusphoros, hard to bear : dus-, dys- + -phoros, -phorous.]

dys·phoric (-fôrk, -fr-) adj

It seems possible that Sister Jen experiences dysphoria when the whole family arrives at her house for Christmas and euphoria when we all gather at the beach (and not in her home.)
