overactive mind

Last night I guess I got a bit neurotic - I was really tired in a lot of pain from doing yard work and I took a benadryl.  I guess the combo of being so tired and the tired loopy feeling the benedryl gives me just decided to play havoc on my emotions.  Things that usually don't bother me quite that much were running me over and making me an emotional mess.  I probably spent 20 minutes crying in the bathroom and felt myself spiraling into depression rather quickly.  Lucky for me, the benedryl eventually knocked me out cold but I did a lot of tossing and turning during my sleep, probably as a result of my body being so sore. 

I guess really, the stuff that started bothering me is best described as those sort of emotions you cram into a little box in your mind somewhere and keep them to yourself.  The problem is,  they come out when your defenses are totally down and you can't defend yourself against them.  Yeah, if I had the money I'd be going to counseling again, but I don't, so I won't.  *sigh*  I wish I wasn't under so much stress these days.
