The only time I feel motivated and energetic, I also have quite a short temper and I'm intolerant of circumstances that don't otherwise bother me. Is this the price I have to pay for being able to get anything accomplished? It's like I'm not only "up" but "up and over it". It just feels off balance, like I should be able to think and act with clarity, but I'm dragging along resentment and an out of proportion outrage. I can't tolerate anything but the "right" music - whatever that means. Blues annoy me and jazz keeps me from thinking clearly. Yesterday I cooked all afternoon, repotted some plants I've been trying to kill, and did a bunch of laundry. I was clumsy and moving ahead of myself, bumped myself several times and that angered me too. By the time nighttime came I was all abuzz and agitated. (No caffeine in my body, BTW.) It seems to last several days, then I slide back into my usual lethargic sea-cow speed. I don't like me like this - I'm a nicer, gentler person than this.
Oh, and I am definitely depressed.

The Martin Luther King Jr Day parade just went past our office. MY CO-WORKERS are a bunch of boors. "where are they going" "where are the floats" "is that all they can come up with" "I want a parade, too" "what's that lazy lady in the golf cart doing" "oh she must be doing the cooking at the other end" "don't look them in the eye, they'll come in here"
OK. OK. I hate these people, hate their bigotry, their insensitivity, their prejudices. This is not a culture, it's uncivilized.
I'm trapped in the deep south and can't get out.

i know the feeling. only, in my case, i usually try to stuff it deeper inside. and then i just get more agitated.
i have been seething at my boyfriend lately. i am perfectly honest w/ him and last night when he asked if i were still angry when we were going to bed, i said of course i still was. so he slept on the couch half the night and then crept back into bed sometime in the middle of the night. i knew that he would be back.
if you are angry, i don't see any reason to pretend you are not. it doesn't do you any good to hide it.
sorry you have to put up with all the cr*p right now!

dang, i could have written your post. Only i wouldn't have known how to put it into words like you did. You captured the essence of what I feel. The music. The bumping myself. The out of proportion outrage. Temper. Ugh for us.
