I took a few days off and spent some time with a mate of mine, which was nice. Kind of hiding, in a way - no news, no internet, no tv. I really noticed how I have to watch my food so carefully - I slipped up while I was away and yesterday didn't really eat enough - a couple of bits of bread and some popcorn. Today I woke up and foolishly didn't have breakfast.
By ten, I kid you not, I was crying uncontrollably (for absolutely no reason). Then I got on the bus to go out to the airport and I started shaking like crazy and then sweating. All over my head and neck and body started to feel that prickly-detached starting-to-faint sort of feeling, and then I almost threw up.
I got a chocolate bar from a vending machine but I couldn't eat it. Finally when I got home I had some milk and a banana and things have started to settle down. Scary though. It's like, I miss a couple of meals and my body is so empty of stored anything that it reacts like I've been starving for a week.
I'm pretty sure that it's an electrolyte imbalance that provokes it. And it's usually when I go away for a few days and my eating patterns (tentative and fragile as they are) get disturbed. It's the same thing that happened my last couple of trips up to Welly. So either I'm allergic to Wellington, or I need to eat better.
Probably the allergy one, ay?
good you took some time off for yourself. i think internet/tech breaks are good to do sometimes - i've been on a semi-one atm when i'm not at work.
*hugs*
