I guess I never really thought about it from that side of things. However I did have a duh moment of my own yesterday. I could feel the downswing/depression coming on for a few weeks, but most profoundly a couple of days ago. I have a young child at home, so taking a nap a thon is out of the question. So my duh moment was "go have some coffee". I had pretty much quit caffeine 4 years ago when I was pregnant. The coffee/caffeine has really helped me achieve a baseline that gives me some clarity and I am not so depressed today. Moderation is the best policy. But then again, that's quite difficult at times, in just about every area of life. I will heed your advice though when things go back on the upswing. :P Mel That’s funny.
