I had a meltdown sunday night.
My lip herpes was acting up and instead of just breaking out it gave me a temperature and I felt like complete sh*t! I had become extremely angry with a parking lot attendant but fortunately I did not get myself into trouble. I couldve though. I was going nuts. But somehow I held it together. I took some Valtrex and asprin and the temp went away and I felt a little better but the neurontin didnt help, made me feel wierd.
So the next day (yesterday) I had to call in sick to work and I couldnt get out of bed. I finally did about 10 or 1030am. I only took 300mg of neurontin instead of my usual 900 in the am. In fact Ive decided to half what I take now and see what happens. Sometimes I feel it makes me feel better but in a haze and I still cant get anything done. Oddly enough I took more adderall and that elevated my mood. I did some excersize to try and feel better and the I was feeling really horny so my partner and I did it and felt better after that too! ;-) She did too! :) Anyway I am in cubicle land today and just trying to get by. I think this mood will pass at some point and my head will be screwed on better. By the way I think its interesting in social mores or whatever that people will talk about going to the movies or what meal they had but they dont discuss their sexual activity in the same casual way. For example, saying how your weekend was, yea we went downtown for a movie and then went to Blahblahs for dinner and then went home and did it (or had a steaming hot sex session etc etc).Have a day! :-|

Funny John... I can tell you the reason. Like a friend explained once - sex is a participant sport, not a spectator sport. I loved that explanation!

Anyway after I wrote about the meltdown I received very bad news. I cant go into it except to say that I believe the meltdown was my subconscious mind telling me something, like that it knew this was going to happen. Weird.

John:
I'm sorry about your meltdown. I certainly understand, though the anger hasn't been a component for me - I imagine that is very difficult to control.
How are you feeling now?

- sex talk gets really boring, especially when someone's been married for awhile. Can you imagine me going to yoga, and saying "Yeah, hubby and me had sex Agian last night - that must make it the umpth time in ten years." Now if had been with the man in my dreams last night... ;) Just kiddin'.
Take care.

Thanks!

Better, better living through chemistry, and also just chilling however there are now more ongoing issues that have to be dealt with but I think I can do it ok now. A meltdown while being bad at the time can be beneficial because it seems for me anyway it lets me let go and collapse and then after that I can gather myself up and go again rather than fighting against it for a long period of time having it sap my strength and mind.

Thats funny!
Ok I guess in this/these contexts it is but yet still it seems that in society it is the promise or anticipation or allusion to the act that grabs peoples attention. I mean in the media, tv, movies, advertising, talk radio and talk tv. People want to know what celebrity is sleeping with what other celebrity but the actual details would bore them. Weird! :) What about all those womens magazines that are obsessed with it?!I think also however in ordinary life people dont talk about it because its considered in bad taste as in talking about going to the bathroom. I mean who wants to hear about that?! I think its like that.
