Hook me up. I've been drinking so much coffee I'm tripping out. My heart is pounding, my gut is churning, my wrists and ankles are swollen and my tongue is going brown. But my GOD I have energy now!
It's all articifial of course. Having lived on diet of carbs alone for the last few weeks, more or less, I am stupefied by my own blood sugar levels and am having to kick myself out of it with caffeine. It's a vicious circle, or at least it would be if it wasn't too lardy and flabby to be vicious in any meaningful sense. Sandwiches, cereal, toast, crisps. Bit of pasta. The odd jacket spud. It's a fatal combination of stress and weather. Then alcohol or caffeine to cut through the stodge.
I read a magazine article in the hairdressers that said "if you are using something to alter your mood or change the way you feel, that is an addiction. It could be drugs, nicotine, alcohol, food or even sex". All of these at once, how about that? It would certainly cheer me up. Self-medication with food. Hmmm. Uppers and downers, coke and weed, they do not have any calories.
I plan to change my mood by going away for fresh air, relaxation, breezy walks and writing. Cottage booked. Just need to survive this week first.
