Good morning, @eudemonism, @eth, @Former-Member, @frog, @Teej, @Faith-and-Hope and anyone reading here,
Eude, I hear you on the rise and fall in temperature, though for a different reason. One of the medications I take makes me sweat a lot, in addition to hormonal issues at this time in my life that do the same. Brush my hair, I sweat. Check the mail, sweat. Anything, sweat. It's a big nuisance, though not as hard as being affected mentally by changes in temperature, which is what you are describing, I think. I too seem to need a lot of distraction or my mood sinks or becomes a bit unstable. I get lost in myself when left alone like that and can end up sitting in a chair for long periods of time, staring into space. Fortunately, I have a fair few methods of distraction at this point, including the forum. Great that you visited a few friends yesterday, your rounds. When you said, 'not ideal', I had to wonder if any of us are in anything like an ideal situation. Are you a perfectionist? I have that tendency and need to consciously tell myself that perfection is just not of this world, or human.
Eth, I'm still sitting here in my nightie. Because of the tiredness in the morning, I often delay the starting of items on my 'daily activity list'. Also, today is a bit empty of anything planned until this evening, so it probably is worthwhile postponing the start of things. Being here is a valuable activity too, I think, though it's not something I have on my list. Sounds like you have some good things planned for the day. Look forward to reading your post in the rave thread, though it sounds like it relates to something difficult, so not so much good for you, I guess. Still, may help to get it out on the page.
Faith, missed your post while I was drafting this one, so just adding to it now. Your day is off to a good start. I am so pleased to hear you say that you will be buying some art materials today. Hugs for your sense of dislocation at present.
Hope everyone has some moments of enjoyment throughout the day.
