of constipation and whoopi
Events of the past few weeks, or months maybe, or even years, really got into me now. As it is, I am in a state of information overdose.
On one hand, there are so many issues to respond too - personal, profesional, individual, social, religious, political, economics, current, historical, philosophical, mundane etc.
On the other, the systems, both mental and emotional, for reasons of it's own, are too slow or even too unwilling, to process and come up with a meaningful, coherent and rational explaination of it, or the least, to flush it all out for the sake of its's own wellbeing.
Everything seem to be stuck somewhere between the input and output functions. It's just not working. For someone trying to make a living in the information and deadlines business, this state of affair is totally paralysing. All in and none out.
In layman's IT terms, I should either get a faster processor, increase the rem, debug or just perform a simple reformatting. In medical terms, ok, in my own medical terms, I am experiencing a form of constipation, albeit a mental and emotional one.
According to Wiki: constipation or irregularity, is a condition of the digestive system where a person (or other animal) experiences hard feces that are difficult to eliminate. It may be extremely painful, and in severe cases (fecal impaction) lead to symptoms of bowel obstruction.
Causes may be dietary, hormonal, a side effect of medications, and anatomical. Treatment is with a change in dietary habits, laxatives, fiber therapy, enemas, and rarely surgery.
As always and like everything else, those possibilities are easier said than done.
As such, if anyone is reading this blog, enjoy the time-out. I am not. I think I am in need of a faith healer. Whoopi would be just fine.
