Title: Compulsion

May 23, 2005   Spent the day feeling like there was a rotten mood and a good mood battling it out inside me, fighting for sole possession. Unfortunately, neither mood won and I've instead been swinging between grumpy and happy, and you know it's not good when the description of your day sounds like a demented menage a trois with two of the Seven Dwarves.

That was enough, however, to make me whip my meds out and start taking them again. Secretly replacing my antidepressant and insulin sensitizer with Folgers Crystals just didn't work out, so I am, once again, percolating with pharmaceutical goodness. It will take at least 2 weeks for the antidepressant to kick in, but my glucose and insulin levels should be back to normal much faster, so I'll be feeling better soon.

Of course, it would also help if I'd stop mainlining chocolate, but there are some joys in life I refuse to give up. As a PMSing philosopher once said, Chocolatito Eato Sum - I eat chocolate, therefore I am. Ok, so Descartes didn't have PMS and he actually said Cogito Ergo Sum, I think therefore I am, but let's not get technical. Analyze this stuff too much and you just end up putting Descartes before the horse. Not to mention digressing.

So, as I was saying, forward ho pharmaceuticals!
