A Low Weekend

Friday and Saturday were really bad days for me. My mood swung so far down I didn’t think I would come out of it for a month. I felt like the whole world was against me and everything I did was wrong. I just sat at my computer or laid in bed not knowing what else to do. Mum and Linda got worried and were trying everything they could think of to try and cheer me up, nothing worked. Then Sunday came round and I started to feel a little better. I started my day out the same as every other day but things just started to pick up and by 4 o’ clock I was feeling a whole lot better, I started cracking jokes and generally starting to see the black mist rise up a bit.

We spent most of Saturday evening watching movies and that could have had something to do with lifting my mood. But at the time I had next to no interest in watching anything but the back of my eyelids. I persevered as I wasn’t tired and I knew that if I went to bed I would just lay there and think about how shit and crappy I felt, better the devil you know I guess.

As I sit here I try and figure out why my mood sank and I draw a blank, I think it was just a case of the chemicals in my brain going loopy again. It just goes to show me that what comes around quickly can leave again just as quick. quirky huh?

Just in case anyone is interested the movies we watched over the weekend:

  • Quantum of Solace
  • Seven Pounds
  • Wanted
  • Igor

All were great films. I highly recommend Seven Pounds a great film from Will Smith.

Until Next Time…
