Grouchy Bear

Frankly I should avoid all people when I’m in grouchy-bear mood. I will inevitably say or do something that I’ll later think about and regret. One of my challenges is that I have pretty bad allergies, and if the air is really terrible I get these killer head aches. There is no cure for it, so I just have to grin and bear it until the air clears. Occasionally my breathing gets bad enough that I have to use an inhaler, but that just makes me feel like tearing off someone’s head, so I don’t do it unless I realize I’m not getting enough oxygen – usually the sign is constant ‘sighing’ that my roommate comments on.

I really think addicts handle illness poorly. As it is, we don’t like to feel bad, so being sick just multiples the effect.

I suspect I”m not alone here – are you a big baby when you are feeling under the weather?
