Berserker mode

We all know of 24-hour viruses. I wonder if it's possible to have a 24-hour mental illness?

Yesterday, I was a festering ball of rage and frustration, unable to calm myself with any of my psyche tricks, and certainly unfit for company. Why Starr put up with me I don't know, but she did a lovely job of soothing me over the course of the evening, and by 10 or 11 or so I was able to talk politely and slip off to sleep like a normal person.

I don't want to do that one again anytime soon. Not just for anyone else's benefit, but for my own as well. I did not enjoy that.

There are times that happens to me as well. Usually, it's the result of bottling things up when something annoys/angers me instead of taking care of the situation when it arises. By the time the "festering ball of rage" manifests itself, I've fairly forgotten the things that were bottled up in the first place. It takes me the better part of a day to calm down as well. I do my best not to take it out on innocent bystanders, but sometimes there is collateral damage that I have to apologize for afterwards. Like you, I don't enjoy it either, but at least I've attempted to "remove the cause ... but not ... the symptoms".

On a lighter note, the little $3 theater here in town is showing a sneak preview of "Iron Man" at 8PM tonight. Guess who's going to the movies tonight?

Heh. Awesome, dude. Thanks for the early morning laugh.

I've been hearing good things about Iron Man. I looked at the summer movie list and thought "Holy heck, where did all these come from?" Indy 4 and Speed Racer are high on my list.
