Anybody here been overly sensetive lately?

[Ramblin Man]

I know asking you guys is like yelling dogpile on a muddy football field, but although I'm mostly over it now, for the last two weeks I have been emotionally over the edge, and it aint pretty. Balling like I lost child at the spur of the moment, feeling depressed and tired all of the time, etc...the whole "dude get a grip" thing.

Ya I have had a lot on my plate as far as stressful situations but nothing really new and nothing I haven't been able to simply brush off in the past. Before I spend a lot of time investigating what might have caused it I wanted to check if anyone else has had anything similar going on lately. This all corresponded with the trees blooming, which usually gives me terrible hay fever, but I didn't get that this year which I attribute to my very aggressive work out schedule. I also let my blood pressure meds get out of whack while I was waiting for mail order prescriptions, and we found out that our contract was not being renewed, I was having some problems with my oldest daughter, my second oldest needs money for college, the old lady appears to be the victim of some type of discrimination at work... you know, the usual.

I've said it myself, that stress is cumulative, but this just didn't seem to have an identifiable catylst so I was wondering if it may just be that time of year?

Anybody else?

I think you are staying up too late and posting. You need to start with the martinis at 5 so you are asleep by now. I on the other hand work second shift and just got home. I drink 2 or 3 of these

a night so sleep wont come for a while.

 

[Ramblin Man]

I work 4:00 to midnight. so that blows that theory. Although I don't get a lot of quality sleep. I've been considering hookers as therapy, but I'be too afriad they were cops and just arrest me. You know, they should have to actually be finished providing their services before any leagal action takes place.

Definitely blows that theory.......hmmmm hookers.....too self destructive, they cost more than a real therapist and actually lower self esteem. To get real...go see a pastor or other clergy type...they got some good real life answers most of the time....and they are free.

Ramblin Man,

I get a little the same. Living in a different country, language, not being welcome, etc. Lately, to put things back in persepective, I just re-read Axeman's post about Jordan. Puts it all in perspective and reminds me that my problems are petty in comparison.

Common signs of stress that I also am familiar with. When it gets bad enough you can't sleep much at all and wake up with all your muscles in a knot. For me it's neck, shoulders, and back stuff. Takes two asprins just to get moving each morning. As stated you got a great therapy at your finger tips, literally. Do a day ride. That will help. But, you have to get your head into the ride first. I didn't the other day and almost drove through a red light. I exercised three seconds of front and rear ABS and stopped 2 bike lengths past the line as the traffic from the right paraded across in front of me. (Yikes!)

Will never buy another bike without ABS.

I'd pick a Feejer over a Hooker any day of the week.

 

[MojaveFJR]

Get in the gym. Work it out in there. No sense sittin around mopin about it.

 

[Toecutter]

I know a guy who had the same thing happen to him. He went to an endocrinologist and found out he had a hormone imbalance, which was cured by a custom blended prescription. IOW, you may be experiencing Man-o-pause.

Here's your recipe for feeling better:

1. Two Beefeater Gin and Tonics (preferably after 5:00pm, not now).

2. Get a new pic for your Avatar.

From the movie Kindergarten Cop, "Maybe it's a tumor"

 

[Ramblin Man]

I work out M-F every day since January. Ride the eliptical for 50 minutes and throw in some weights here and there (my guns are really responding). My doctor is one of the best endocrine guys around and has a very active lecture schedule, been tested but maybe it's time again.

As for the bunny, ain't he cute? but I hear you. Going back to my original avatar.

As for thearapists or pastors, I lump them in with hookers. Someone that doesn't really care about my happieness unless the copay is made on time. And hey thats why I have you guys. (and like the original hooker comment that was also a joke)

Anyway, I was just asking if anyone was having problems that they could attribute to "seasonal" changes. I'll figure it out.

Thanks

For the record, your "Got Milk" avatar is just as creepy, if not more so. Dude looks like a Type I, Class A ********* offering milk to a little kid. :lol:

Re: mental anguish. I dunno, Ramblin', it's sounds like your doing the things that ought to be combating the cumulative stress factor, and if it's not working, well, maybe a little therapy action really is indicated. However, only you can really make that determination.

I found myself quite downed out out from late November until late April, but this is primarily due to winter, when I am generally snowbound to the Columbian Basin (that is, I can usually ride to work and short runs around the Basin, but I really can't leave the regional area because there is snow in every pass leaving the Basin.) Too, this winter and spring have been particularly gnarley; it's friggin May 3rd, and the trees are only now starting to display small buds of green!

I guess the bottom line is that you just need to monitor yourself over this next period of time, and if things don't improve or deteriorate further for you, then time for some 3rd party interaction.

Don't forget the importance of Vitamin D.... I'm not talking oral vitamins, I'm referring to sunshine. If your weather is total crap all the time, this will quickly aggravate the situation.

RamblinMan,

Since you are under alot of stress... one thing I do to help compensate for the leaching of the vitamins in your body due to stress is to take supplements.

Namely a good B Complex (Stress Type), Extra Vitamin C, and Omega3 Fatty Acids for cell regeneration. This may not solve your problems but it will help you COPE with a better outlook! And your body will be all the better for it.

Ramblin Man,

If I'm not wrong, your avatar is from "A Clockwork Orange". Great "B" movie (in a creepy, psychotic, "got milk" kinda way) . If I'm right, and you appreciate that movie, all normal advice is out the window.

WC, If you haven't seen the movie, watch it and the avatar will seem even creepier. :blink:

 

[Ramblin Man]

A Clockwork Orange is a classic dark comedy that parodies the absurdities we all face where the criminal is protected while the innocent are punished in their place. It also points out that all sinners can be saints, and all saints sinners. Depends on your point of view. One of Kubric's finest. I do appreciate the film, and the message it's meant to send which is be very careful or or the wrong people will be running the show.

The avatar is from a scene where Alex is toasting an opera singer at the drug laced milk bar they are at. A portrait of obsurdity. I added the "got milk?".

One thing that I seemed to have not gotten through is my "episode" is over. It only lasted durring the time with the highest tree pollen count. My inquiry was just to find out if anyone else got emotional during that time.

I do suffer from seasonal effective desorder. Vitamin D supplements really helped this year with that. I also use a daylight lamp.

Let me cap off this thread with I'll just go riding.

If you call "singin in the rain" comedy :assassin:
