Ups and downs...

[ariaflame]

Mood's been fluctuating a bit recently. When I'm in company I'm usually alright, actually when I'm alone with a book or something enjoyable I'm alright, but things going wrong or people acting in ways so that I can't get things done that I need to get done are annoying me more than usual

Avoid wheat, additives and preservatives.

Nice idea, but I don't know if I have the energy to follow that restrictive a diet.

Not forever, just as a kind of detox for a few days at least. I'm not suggesting the total beige experience.

[ariaflame]

I'm not certain what it would actually involve. Additives etc. are hidden everywhere.

And how's the gym treating you? You had a bad stretch of virii there that kept you away from regular excerise which wouldn't help.

Gym going is actually currently going well. I'm there Mondays, wednesdays and fridays. Some days it's only going to the gym that helps my mood go from homicidal to reasonably calm.

Yeah, exercise is good. Just getting out into fresh air and sunlight can help. Have you considered yoga/meditation/a nice massage? I can also recommend a pet but that is somewhat lifestyle restrictive and the roomba would have a job keeping up with the fluff...

Considered yoga, but not found time for it yet. Massages make me tense up (unless I really trust someone I have personal space issues and even then things like neck massages still give me the heeby jeebies).

Pet is currently out due to strata rules prohibiting them, plus living on my own means they'd be alone a lot of the time and I don't see the point of getting one if you're just going to neglect it. (Already been through my small rodents and fish stages).

I admit I'm not seeing a lot of sunlight at the moment, but as summer comes in it might get better.
