You wait, if you ever have them, they’re amazing. More intoxicating than the best drug in the world!

But a lot more work…

@ Joely: The mean reds, eh? There’s a good post topic right there for a female in the PD niche…I feel somewhat unqualified to write it. “How to Make it Through Red Week Without Abusing Yourself and Those You Love…”

@ Jon: Thanks for the comment! Nice to see you here.

@ Evelyn: Yeah, funks are a bit unexplainable at times. I hope this helps next time you’ve been a’ smitten. Thanks for the feedback.

@ John: Sorry to hear about that and you not being able to go to Italy. That bites.

@ Erik: I wish I could put a guarantee that this list will work at overcoming the funk or nothing else will. Unfortunately, human psychology’s not that easy. I wonder what other non-medicinal or chemical options are available?

@ May: I read the post I linked to a filed it as something to remember to link to. It was about to get included in a link travelogue, but I’d rather wrap into a topical post. It, and you blog, contains useful information that deserved review. Keep it up, and thanks for the comment!

@ Kelly: Shame on me…I didn’t know Blind Melon had Nico out. In the purchase queue, as they’re another standby for background music. The monthly hormonal funk has been mentioned twice…who’s going to jump on the post first? Maybe I’ll get my wife to write her first post on it. I could, but the inside out perspective is so much more believable than some dude theorizing about it.

And what is it about the smell of children’s hair that is so soothing?

Brilliant piece! Unfortunately I have a monthly appointment with a hormonal funk that is a complete drag, but for obvious reasons is unavoidable.

I so agree that the trick is to break its back as quickly as possible and find your equilibrium. We’re always going to have life get us down for one reason or another. Trying to AVOID it is only one part of the job. One of the most important lessons we can learn in life is how to care for ourselves and bring our body, mind and spirit back from the doldrums.

Since my most common funk is hormone related I find accepting where I’m at and dumping my convoluted emotions and thoughts onto the page is a vital first step in pulling myself together. I also use exercise (the boxing bag gets a HUGE workout!) and and a balanced diet to ground myself and stop my blood sugar sending me crazy. And to lift the spirits there’s nothing better than the smell of my son’s hair and his soft skin against my cheek, and a bit of blue grass (Blind Melon’s NICO is a favorite) to float me far away from my troubles.

Thanks for the read.
