Oct. 28th, 2008 09:21 pmRe: last post. I'm over the little insecurity attack I had there, but am seriously alarmed that the sharp downward turn my mood took during the migraine bout last week was partly to blame. I did some research today and discovered my main option if I have manic-depressive mood swings related to migraines is to Get Happy (tm) either by lifestyle control or drugs. The drugs would have to be a daily thing. So would the lifestyle change.
The lifestyle change recommended is to readdict myself to exercise. This seems like a much better option than my fairly unhelpful doctor. Plus, I'm kind of inclined to the ocean anyway.
They also recommend that I quit coffee (or, rather, just watch my intake) but as a certified coffee ADDICT, I really can't see how quitting would make me *happier*. Moderation without major swings in daily intake, I'll do.
Re: exercise, ocean, and addiction to same. I've been invited to join a sponsored team, who will provide race gear and such if I can provide practice gear and such. Yum. Now I gots to get the practice gear.
Re: penultimate post (or something like that). I got a migraine or two, and was less communicative in general last week (and moody as *hell*, but let's leave that aside.) I texted the guy I went out with once (to say I was sick and would respond when better) and then called Saturday-ish. He has called or texted every single day. I am not actually charmed by this. Plus the text exchange today was less than interesting, just wanting me to come up with something to do because he wanted to see me and do whatever. Beyond asking after my health, he doesn't do much that's interesting. But maybe that's the foul mood talking.
Tomorrow I go to the ocean. Or the gym, if I can't borrow ocean gear.
