Argh. I now know the... er, physiological reason behind the bad week I was having, and I feel like a complete fool, because it's not the first time this has happened and I ought to have realised it from the start. Damn.
I'm flirting with the idea of getting a diagnosis for PMDD so I may qualify for a fluoxetine prescription. Ever since Peter Kramer came to guest-lecture for one of my biology courses, SSRIs have been a subject of mild fascination. Of course the more sensible thing to do is to cut back on caffeine and scale up on exercise and get socially active. But still - hmm.
I've spent too much time in Prozac Nation, it seems.

pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder, and selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors.
further substance abuse is correct, although i'm not pursuing it yet, because i'm still in possession of a fair amount of commonsense.

oh. so *thats* WHY! Brenda you idiot! *grin*
anyway, hey! for the SSRIs... plenty of people pop em - ie prozac nation right?
but before you do, lets take a look at the side effects for that class of drugs: nausea, drowsiness, headache, changes in weight and appetite, increased feelings of depression and anxiety, tremors, yadda yadda and... changes in sexual behaviour!
which quote unquote "may cause in many people either a delay of sexual climax or anorgasmia!"
ouchie, you sure you still want to do SSRIs?
:)

phooey. all drugs have side effects.
anyhow, that was a very compelling case you made. i wouldn't want anorgasmia, would i, seeing how relevant it is to my life now.
right.
