Self-medicating with pizza

I'm not bipolar (or maybe I am), but I have in the past been subject to some rather extreme mood swings.

After being nauseated most of yesterday evening and again this morning, I lapsed into a kind of hyper twitchy mode this afternoon. I couldn't stop drumming my fingers, tapping my foot, singing under my breath. I tried reciting the Heart Sutra mantra for a few minutes, to no avail. It's been years since I've been like this – like 1998 or thereabouts.

I brought myself back down with pizza this evening. God knows I don't need any more pizza, from a nutritional standpoint... I'm morphing into a gelatinous blob as it is. But, hey... this was a medical emergency.
