Why do my emotions keep lying to me?

[sheraton]

I've never been one for extended angst. Angst is one of those things that I like in small doses, in ficiton and in real life. Or if the character's going to angst, it's okay if they're also doing something that will change their situation. If it's all sitting and crying "whinge whine howl wibble poor me" (*cough* VANYEL *cough*) then you've lost

I hate to say this, but do you think it might be related to brain things? Or some chemical thing? If there's no obvious source externally, maybe you're out of whack somehow internally?

Whatever the reason *hugs* Take care. As someone who is often forced to stop at Suck Junction, I sympathize.

The only thing that has ever helped me at all is putting myself in the mindset that it is Ok to Suck. Whatever it is I need to do, I will get better at doing it, probably faster than I thought possible, if I give myself permission to be totally awful at it until that time. I watched this happen in real time at WaMu, so I've got proof of the hypothesis. ; )

Insofar as stress has hormones and brain chemicals that come right along with it, I'd say yeah, there's some internal out-of-whack-ness involved. But I expect -- I PRAY -- it will leave with the stress, whenever I get a chance to breathe.

Actually I have to remember that! I mean that it is Ok to Suck. Because yes, I'm a perfectionist at heart, and yes, I'm really sucking at things I ought not to suck at, and yes, I'm going nuts over it at times.

It is Ok to Suck. I'd make that into a button but I don't think I could wear it to work. Damn. ;-)

I vote we take your brain out for a nice squishy game of flag football, and then plunk it back onto your head afterword.

Okay! Do we get to run through sprinklers? Sprinklers are fun!

(Mistyping them as "sproinklers" is even funner.)

Or we could all cut work and go to Sandcastle for the day and just ride inner tubes and float in the wave pool. It's been so long since I swam!

...Now I have the image of me with my flip-top head floating in an inner tube, with my brain in the cooler-on-a-leash floating along behind.

I bet there's beer in the cooler too.

Woo ramble. Woo loving you! ♥
