Have you ever wondered why people on diets are grumpy? Well, I had a revelation today. It is not because we are enduring cravings (which we are). It is because we, or at least I, are used to burying our emotions with food. I am so used to being comforted by a cloud of sugar, that I am amazed at the intensity of my emotions without it.
I was assaulted by anger this morning... anger at the lady I have to face at school who was spreading lies about me last week... anger at my husband over a misunderstanding ... anger at the dr who has postponed my appointment for 2 months even though I told her I need my depression meds changed.... This is worse than PMS. Who is this angry person? What do normal people do with these emotions? O
n a humorous note - I sound like Data with his emotion chip - turn it off, I can't deal! Maybe humor is part of the answer. When I talked to my hubby this morning, he made me laugh and it dispelled the tiff I had with him. Hmmm... maybe laughter is the best medicine.
