    i've been feeling tired, icky and overall po'd these past coupl'a days. then i noticed that george came to visit for the week. that must've been it.

    * * *

    one thing that i've noticed is that i'll often have sexual/blood dreams the night before. sometimes i'll have a nosebleed, in fact george has been connected to all my nosebleeds in recent years, since he visited the first time.

    what was different was that i became severely depressed last night and earlier today. i've been relatively happy since before my therapy sessions ended last may. but yesterday was bizarre and i had to have some cry time.

    this morning i began to cry because i couldn't seem to do the new move we're learning in ballet. i have a poor turnout and bad ankles, so i often have sicklefoot. i worked harder than ever only to feel helpless.

    i'm glad that men don't have to deal with george, because some just whimper when there's a sign i've been around. george would probably bowl them over.

    Sounds like this george is an asshole.

    Seriously, though... Have you been getting your vitamins? I hear that makes a big difference.

    I kick george squaw in the nuts...

    TBone's right, he sounds like an asshole.
    As for the vitamins, try fruit drinks with ginsing and other chinese herbs, my ex told me one that it works like a fucking super cure. And belive me I saw the major difference when she wasn't drinking those things.

    i've been srinking LOTS of water and taking excedrin.

    february is usually my low point of the year. something catastrophic usually happens and it's also the darkest rainiest part of the year. i think i need sunlight.

    i've also been trying to eat more fruit. i don't take vitamins, but i'm avoiding fast food more and taking ballet (it feels so good to streeeeeeetch).

    another thing i've done is drop my english class. i could never drag myself out of bed to go, so now that i've dropped it, my first 4.0 since eighth grade is within reach.

    also i think all the sushi i've been eating lately helps. sometimes i hardly get any protein at all and it's just baaaaad.

    thanks for the advice.
