stormdogI know I already noted that food made a huge difference in my state of mind tonight, but in retrospect, I'm still pretty amazed at it.
I went from feeling very lethargic and anxious and mildly depressed, much as I was feeling last night, to feeling a state that I'd almost describe as manic after eating. I was feeling very positive with moments of elation as I thought about the things I wanted to accomplish. I attached my switch to the wall up here and have dug into getting these laptops set up again and life seems very positive and under control, like it was prior to yesterday evening.
I'd been confused about this spell of malaise. So recently, I told myself, I'd been thinking consciously about how good everything seemed to be and how well I was in control of most aspects of my life. Then, poof. And now it's pretty much back. It's the clearest experience I think I've had of brain chemicals and blood sugar and everything else associated with food affecting emotional and cognitive state.
I'm going to avoid Kraft Macaroni and Cheese in the future, I think. It's the common factor in the two days I've felt off. And it's probably not the brand; just the food-type.
Looking back on my posts, I went so quickly from posting mildly sad things looking for reassurance to being completely positive and self-reliant. It's a little disturbing to me.
