it is no less a failure to do it than for someone whose brain chemistry is messed up to take psychotropic meds.
Snerk. My psychotropic drugs issues, let me show you them.
They fall exactly in the same place as my thoughts on insulin, ie, a well-regulated mind/body doesn't need drugs.
My rock-jawed Puritan ancestors would be so proud. And I'm fully aware that my logic does not resemble Earth logic. (Boy, I'm full of the pop psych today. Or of something.)
So, last night, Date Girl and I drove out to Angeles Crest, found a dark spot (filled with many other people), laid out on the hood of my car, and watched the Perseids while holding hands.
That sounds just marvellous.
can Tramadol depress you (emotionally)? I know it does physically, but I was wondering about the mood element.
It's known for increasing seratonin. It makes me exceptionally cheery (alas, also nauseous and headachy, so I avoid it). I could see how it could have the opposite effect in some people, in the same way that there are some people who get more depressed, not less, on anti-depressants.
Had first interview with potential PA. The rest are tomorrow, 9 til 3 with only two breaks - should be interesting! The first one was pretty good. She had good ideas around empowerment. I like that attitude much more than the 'I want to take care of you to make myself feel better' types.
I don't know - can you even have a test anxiety for just one subject?
If it's a subject that doesn't agree with you, I can totally see that. I used to ace English and French tests, and then lose the plot so badly over Maths exams that I once or twice actually ran out of the room screaming. Sorry to hear about your anxiety over the test, Shir - I hope it gets a bit easier. Or at least that you don't have to take Statistics for too much longer.
I knew it!

There are dark chocolate Reese's Cups. The irony of this knowledge vis a vis my previous remarks about insulin is not lost on me.
That sounds just marvellous.
It was really sweet and special and amazing.
Yep. Translate Party iz good.

I wish the Food Fairy would bring me an iced coffee and an everything bagel with cream cheese and sliced tomato.
You know what I hate? When I procrastinate and put something off and stress myself out about getting it done for
days
and then I finally suck it up and sit down and do it and it takes me goddamn 20 minutes.
This is not unrelated to the past as a predictor of the future. I pull this shit on myself way too often.
