Tangled Mind

For me, it's the "no apparent cause" that prompted me to say no. It took me a while to learn to recognize the roots of low periods, but they usually have fallen into either long-term: lonelines or sub-optimal health or short-term: low blood sugar, caffeine withdrawal, or clockwork hormones. On the plus side, once I figure out which is which, I can give myself a shake for the short-term ones and scavenge for a coffee and a sandwich. The long-term ones are more of a waiting game.
