Craig PMS seems to be in full swing.
Geology lecture was a bit boring, as we went over concepts I am quite familiar with – Geologic time, Scientific process, etc.
Feeling like a passenger in the vehicle of my body and life, unable to even make course change requests. It’s irrational and quite unrealistic (inaccurate), but I can’t stop feeling what I’m feeling.
I passed a wonderful sight on the way back to the car park – a farmer’s market where there was a HUGE pile of Oyster mushrooms (big ones too). Looked delicious. I was happy/sad — more like “boy I remember how wonderful that would make me feel.” Strange. It was really the happiness at nostalgia. Disconnected, set in motion, watching things on the shore as I sail by in a fast moving river.
I’m sure the feeling will pass, it usually does. Mostly stress at a busy schedule, I’m sure.
*noogie* I recommend chocolate, and possibly British dramas on PBS. That’s my usual treatment for PMS.

Class must have proceeded glacially.

When you go through these states of mind, well, 1) they re-occur and I wonder if the spacing would show a pattern, like say 3 times a year at four months apart? Also, you experience the same dissociative trait.
Talk to me, baby.
It may be, though the weather at this time of the year is one of the things that actually “cheer me up.”
I suppose those don’t need to be mutually exclusive in the complexities of human thought.
I think you and I both underestimate (being generally quite resiliant beings) the amount of stress we are under and have been under. Moving is one of the big stresses–up there with divorce and death. Plus our financial mire is one we’ve never really dealt with.
I am going to talk to the doctor about anti-depressants. I just want to feel connected and joyful more than the occasional moment.
Hopefully, the screams and terror of your haunt victims will lift your spirits. Love ya, baby. You and me!

Quit with the puns already, Moraine!
Oh, that therapy will be most enjoyable.
**wonders if this is how the Addams family got started . . .

What are you trying to do? Leave me in a depression? Saddling me with that kind of wordplay! For shame.
I like your chocolate Idea.
you! You! YOU! U shaped valley!
Watch out, hill get too steep and… bah, fuck ocean.
Seismic matters.
Bitchwhore.
Yeah, I’d say moving and job stress are probably pretty big contributors. As witnessed by my neverending series of illnesses. 😛
Actually, I have extremely severe SAD, and I LOVE cool, rainy, dank, northwesterny weather. I get really frickin’ irritated by the heat. So no, they’re not mutually exclusive. =)
This is why I play games ^_^ FFXI ROCKS ^_^
But I digress, I agree that there is a very STRONG presence of depression and bad moods abounding all over. It seems tensions are high and most are depressed.
Tikimama, before you attempt to take any chemical substance for depression PLEASE do a lot of research! I know from very personal experience that most of these drugs will cause DEEPER depressions. Some people react quite badly to them so please do not just go to one doctor. I implore you to do research on the web for known side reactions and the studies done on them.
Reactions from stress is the body’s way of alerting you that you need to back off. Taking a drug to mask it might cause harm over time. Stress can and is reduced in many different forms that are not drug related. I would research all of these ways as well. Taking a chemical to change your bodies chemistry should never be entered into lightly (not to say you are).
Please note I am only saying this out of a deep concern. I was in a living hell when the doctors placed me on anti-depressants ( I was given the label of a Bi-Polar manic depressive person). I was given all kinds of tests and put on several different kinds of medications. The end result was that I tried to kill myself while on the drugs. When I stopped taking all of the drugs I delt like I was going to die. So it is out of this concern that I make this note.
That and I know how much you both mean to Phuuz and as his friend, his concerns are mine. ^_^
