I feel the need to write...

I feel the need to write something unstructured and note based upon a picture.

I am really interested to know how many people are driven by their hormones? Is it natural to feel that one day I can feel my best and another quite the opposite? I am not talking about being all PMS or crying and weeping, I mean your whole attitude and drive in general. This is complicated to express through writing, I have always tried to be positive my whole life. To the point that even some of my brothers and sisters think that my whole life I floated on a cloud or something! I really just try to not let negative energy hold me back, so I don't try and dwell on it or let it drive me. Sometimes it wins though, stupid negative energy! But I have noticed that on a day to day basis, the days where I feel like doing nothing at all and just don't have a drive, I can't really pinpoint why I feel that way. It is just so all of the sudden. Nothing bad and depressing is going on, I just don't feel like doing anything! So that brings me to how I feel today. I have a headache, and for all of you that know me well, my migraine headaches really incapacitate me. I am trying to keep my breakfast down. But despite all these things that should be pulling me in the "don't want to do anything direction" I feel like organizing a room, I feel like (dare I say it), doing laundry! Who is this person? I tell you sometimes I really don't understand it. I know good diet and exercise help you feel better more often, but what if the mood you are experiencing has nothing to do with external factors, it just IS! Whatever, I don't even know if this made any sense, if I were talking to you in person I would be waving my hands about while I talk and THEN it would make perfect sense to you!!! Well if this sounds like you I am interested to hear your thoughts on my ramblings.

Yes, I feel that way all the time! I have noticed if I can make myself get excited about something, like a new project, or a good book that I get to enjoy AFTER I have done the things that need to get done, I can usually work my way out of my FunK! Other times however, I just let myself relax that day, and stick to the basics.

Don't worry, I IMAGINED you telling me the story, hand movements and all, and I perfectly understand what you're saying. I think everybody goes through what you're talking about -- bursts of motivation, and bursts of not wanting to do anything. I'm not quite sure if it's driven by hormones or not -- but as we all know, we, as women, are pretty much controlled by hormones (or the lack thereof) our whole lives. I hope the laundry treats you well and that you don't toss your cookies. Good luck.

I can relate, but I think for me it goes more in runs. If I am productive I want to continue to be productive and if I take a lazy day I tend to want to take another lazy day.

I think hormones can definitely affect us. However, in the end we still have the choice of how we decided to feel/act. (Which of course doesn't make the decision any easier, and sometimes can just make you more frustrated.)

I kind of wonder about your headache and still having the desire to work and accomplish. You must be doing something right, or God is blessing you. That just doesn't seem to fit together, though you did say you always try to be positive.
