One of the upsides of this whole eating plan is that my moods have evened out quite a bit.
One of the downsides of this whole eating plan is that the evened-out moods are making PMS unendurable. Especially without the coke and ice cream I prefer to medicate my PMS moods. B-vitamins, here I come.
I mean, today I'm clumsy, depressed, aimless, sad, and pretty much any other negative adjective you could come up with. All I really want to do is go home, play scrabble against the computer, and watch stupid movies that will make me cry.
Getting (very kind and respectful) feedback today from my supervisor about an article I edited? Pretty much the end of the world, even though 1) I came in here not knowing much, if anything, about finance and investing; and 2) we all know I'm learning. I don't get the sense that he's all that tangled up about it, so I shouldn't be either. But that's of no use to my mood.
Honestly, while my moods have evened out, my general affect is a little lower than I'd ideally like these days. I know that this intense awfulness is PMS, and I know that it will pass. But I'm close to calling my doctor and getting a blood test for my thyroid meds, because I'm suspecting they're a little low.
That should help. But not as much as ice cream.
