baking chocolate

[shewasgone]

I've had too much chocolate. It's making me sick. I'm going to stop eating chocolate. But how can I help it when people keep giving me chocolate? I shouldn't give the chocolate away because it will make someone else sick, and that just isn't very nice. I'm nice

Argh... I can't even type what I am thinking...

Basically, I feel the same way. It's weird how a release of emotions can lead to such irregularity. I guess sometimes it's good to be stoic. But there HAS to be a way to release your soul without becoming unstable! I used to think that the ups and downs were part of what made life so enriching... I used to think that the lows and highs part of my "creative mind" and that they enabled me to experience life more fully so that I could express it through my art. But now I think that those lows and highs end up distracting me from what I should be doing.. then I get all hyper and giddy and sometimes I can stomp on people because I'm TOO exuberant, or I'll be all mopey and depressed and will push people away because I'm too soggy. Balance is important... but if I were balanced all the time I'd never have top-of-the-staircase moment.

I dont know...

The problem lies in assuming there is something wrong with you. Emotion is not logical. Rationalizing what you feel can be a useful tool, but as with any life tool, pushing it too far locks you in a box that blinds you. So stop trying to make your feelings fit into your box. Already sounds like you've locked them up enough to make them fester. Now that they've been set loose they're going all crazy.

One more factor you may not be accustomed to is the darkness. How much sun have you seen lately? Between the short days and cloud cover, most of us go a little bit loopy this time of year. Some of us extremely so. Soon you'll be back to a land of sun even if it is very cold there. Soak up all you can of it while there.
