Psyc or phys?
I've been feeling rather crummy the past few days.
Today I had a sore throat all day, with the sniffles and sneezing.. and feeling really -really- tired. I've felt this exhausted all week and on Wednesday night I slept from 6:45 pm - 7:15 am, which is just weird.
I also can't seem to focus very well and have trouble doing the things I need to do.
All things considered, feeling as shitty as I did today.. I still can't help but wonder if my crap-tastic feelings are also psychological or if I'm just physically peaky.
One thing I do know is that a couple of the kids at the nursery where I work were sick with a little bit of a cold so it's entirely possible that that is the only answer. But it's the tiredness that makes me wonder if it's something else, too.
The interesting part of living with these kind of erratics in brain chemistry is that you start to learn the signs and symptoms of a "case" coming on.. It's very similar to coming down with a cold actually. You feel it start, you feel like shit, but you know it will end if you take the right steps to taking care of yourself and do what you can to recover. It's also nice knowing that each time you *will* recover. I consider myself lucky to have this kind of self-awareness and remind myself of that often.
Doesn't do me much good though, at 12:49 in the morning when I can't sleep because I feel like arse. lol
Anyway, just thought I'd get some of these thoughts out on.. computer.. screen haha. I might post just after this with an entry on weight-loss so don't be surprised. If not, G'night folks.
