Mostly about Fantasy genre: Special emphasis on Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Deed of Paksennarion. Music, poetry and random ramblings. Actually, anything is up for grabs. Probably not politics, but everything else is fair game. Please ignore al

I have no real medical reason for doing this. It just happens every once in a while. My sugar levels drop. Plummet would be a better word.

Sometimes I realize what's going on at the very beginning and I can do something about it before it gets too bad. At other times, it hits so fast that I'm shaking and bitchy before I know what's happened.

The shaking is bad enough. I'm having a difficult time typing right now. The inability to focus isn't so bad. The personality shifts are slightly disturbing though. I get *snarky* and *bitchy*. I find myself snapping at friends, getting irratated at unheard of speeds. Just now, I was chatting to a friend, and wanted to bite her head off so many times. "Stop being such a whiny little BITCH!" I wanted to scream at her. "Yeah, you're upset because your boyfriend doesn't talk as much as you like and he isn't coming to see you this weekend. But I've heard it for THREE F***ING WEEKS now! GET OVER IT!"

It's also at times like these when I start to remember things. Things I'd rather forget. People I'd rather forget. And I can't shut my brain off. I can't get rid of the memories. I can't stop imagining things that I'd rather not think of. I don't want to think about HIM -- especially not how he broke my heart, or how he's probably engaged now to HER. I don't want to have imaginary fights with him. I don't want to think about finding out how happy he is with her now.

I don't want to think. Hell, right now, I don't even want to breathe. I just want to turn it all off and start again tomorrow.

Too bad I won't sleep tonight.

Are you sure this is low blood sugar?

Are you hypoglycemic?

Take care of yourself woman.

Yeah, I'm sure it's low blood sugar.

I'm not actually hypoglycemic. Not technically, at least. I just have a tendency to have insulin overdose if I've eaten too much sugar recently. It doesn't happen very often. Hasn't happened in over a year or so, actually.

And I'm taking care of myself. I promise. A shot of honey and a glass of juice will put me to rights.

You've had the tests for diabetics?
on Feb 25, 2007
Yup. Multiple times. I'm not even close to borderline. It's just a freakish thing that happens every once in a blue moon. Actually, it's fairly common for people's blood sugar to drop depending on their circumstances. Too much exercise on not enough food, rapid weight loss. Mine comes from too little sleep, too much stress, and too much junk food. After about a few weeks or so of living like this, my body gives me a wakeup call. Too bad it takes that to get my attention.

So, last night, after my shot o' honey and glass of juice, I had plenty of sleep, did some relaxation, and started all over again today. Mental breakdown averted, and physical self back under control.
