Tired and emotional

[lnr]

Did cancel driving lesson in the end, absolutely shattered this morning and the thought of doing it was just upsetting me too much: I seem to be a bit of an emotional wreck at the moment and I'm not sure why. Not getting much done in the office, wondering if I ought to have called in sick, but it feels wrong to do it just because I'm bunged up and tired. It's not like we stayed up late or anything.

*hugs*. Chalk it up as a bad hair day ... :-( - used to happen to me quite a lot - hasn't recently, dunno why ...

I just feel like I ought to be "getting better" but I'm not, IYSWIM. Stupid headache won't go away properly either. It's just a tiny one, barely there, but it's really irritating.

:-(( - yeah: getting better in the physical or the emotional sense? Are you drinking the right amount of water? (do you crave OJ (not that OJ ... :-))? Vitamin C might help ...? .. I'm currently fending off 'flu with vast doses of pineapple juice (only thing they've got left at work ..).

Drinking plenty of water, most of the way through a litre so far in the office today, it's slightly possible that being snotty is making me dehydrate a little, but I'm not sure. I'll try refill the bottle when it's done and drink most of another litre today as well, even if it does mean I spend all afternoon going to the loo. Not craving fruit juice, and diet is fussy about me having lots of it anyway, but I am eating lots of fruit. Just had another couple of clementines in case it helps anyway.

Could this be part of the problem? I really don't know if my diet is part of what's making me cranky and irritable and pissed off and angry and annoyed and tired and apathetic and... well, you get the idea :-) Have you considered dropping the diet for a while until other things begin to feel better, then essentially starting it again? Diet control is quite hard work!

Well, firstly if I wasn't dieting then I can't say fruit juice is the thing I miss horribly that I'd suddenly go out and have lots of.

But more importantly I had a bad week diet-wise last week when I decided there was stuff more important than the diet, and putting on half a stone in one week and also being noticeably fatter to the extent my clothes weren't fitting as well just made me *much* more miserable. The diet isn't *that* hard to control, that's one of its good points, and at the moment it's one of the few things I *do* feel like I have mostly in control and which I feel good about, so it's not something I want to let go of right now.

Well, I wasn't talking too much about fruit juice than the emotional energy needed to maintain the diet. However it sounds like you actually feel better 'cos of it, so my comments are irrelevant anyway :-)

Fair enough. I just went out and bought a huge carton of OJ .. luckily, I've been doing quite well on the calories over the last couple of days (lots of missed meals), so I can afford it ... also Sainsbury's crispy vegetables *mmmmm*...
