New week, new mind


Slept like a baby with an addiction to sleeping pills over the weekend! Feel much more alive, energised and enthusiastic today as a result. Tearing through overdue e-mail responses like a food addict tears through packets of Maltesers. I am bouncing around the site like a tightly-wound rubber-band ball made by a bored student and I am throwing out weird similes like a reformed smoker throwing out leftover cigarettes.
Many of those previous sentences alluded toward an obsession with addiction. I may have to discuss that with my therapist. If I ever get one.
I’m worried I may have gone from one extreme to the other – instead of enjoying my renewed effervescence I am overdoing it and risking dragging myself down again – but isn’t that the story of my life? I’ve never really been a middle-of-the-road, steering-straight kind of guy, it’s always been full-on or flat-out; excessive or totally passive; wild swings from one side of the emotional fence to the other. Trouble is, when you’ve been feeling tired and unproductive and put-upon, and then suddenly you feel awake and creative and on-top-of-things, it’s hard not to ride that wave hard and lap it up while you can.
I hope this has made some sense, my mind is racing far more quickly than my hands have the ability to type. Maybe I should take advantage of this and quickly write enough blogs for the next few weeks…
Or maybe it’s far more sensible if I sit down and relax a bit, and then go back to work.
