help
I have a monumental hangover and really need to start feeling better very quickly. Any ideas? I tried the chip shop lunch - managed a third of them and have had lots of tea. Sleep not an option at my desk.............

Water.
And then more water.
( girlinthehole, Mon 17 May 2010, 14:11, Reply)

yep
had loads of that too - perhaps if I had had more water yesterday i wouldn't be suffering so much now!

I try very hard to get into the habit of necking a big glass of vimto before I go to bed.

( girlinthehole, Mon 17 May 2010, 14:14, Reply)

ha ha
after my own heart! Sadly I necked the last of my stash of Vimto when the BF stayed on Friday. I have replaced it with Ribena for a change as it was £2 for a huge bottle in Netto.....just feel very very tired now and want a lie down.

I couldn't sleep yesterday all night
So I was feeling very tired. I just had a proplus pill (caffeine) and I'm feeling much better. Still tired, but waking up.

Me too
my head is thumping today. I thought it was a delayed hangover, but now it just appears to be my weekly headache. I hate being a girl.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 17 May 2010, 14:18, Reply)

I hate the mood changes without a reason
I find hard to know if I'm upset because I have to be upset or only because I'm sensitive at the moment.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Mon 17 May 2010, 14:21, Reply)

this should be taught to all women:
if you can't think why you are upset then FUCKING STOP BEING UPSET!
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 17 May 2010, 14:23, Reply)

Well, I usually know why I am upset
What I don't know is if that thing is really bad enough to get upset or if I'm overreacting.

I think I'm not that bad
Unless he's done something bad on a dream and has to put on with my bad mood until I've had breakfast and fully realize it's not really his fault, it was only a dream.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Mon 17 May 2010, 14:29, Reply)

I also do that.
But if I dream-cheat on him I always feel immensely guilty and am really nice to him until I realise it was only a dream.

Oh, me too
He might even get a good morning blow job without asking, as I think I've been a bad girl and he deserves better. He never complains about that :)

I'm not sure what that means
But I know I can close almost any deal with my bf by adding a blow job to it. He hasn't said no once, but then, I'm very reasonable.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Mon 17 May 2010, 14:40, Reply)

that is a prime example of the difference between men and women
because being in a bad mood because of something someone did in your dream is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 17 May 2010, 14:30, Reply)

Do you think I don't know?
And that I don't feel stupid?

when I was quitting smoking I kept dreaming I'd had a cigarette
and waking up all angry with myself.

I think it's because I remember my dreams really vividly, but don't always remember that they're dreams. Or I'll remember certain feelings but not the actions, which confuse me. My bloke says he doesn't remember any of his dreams, so maybe boys aren't as vulnerable to this as girls.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 17 May 2010, 14:35, Reply)

It happens to me too
When I'm on a diet, like now, I keep dreaming I'm eating all the time, but still feeling hungry. I wake up in a good mood, though, as I've had almost as much as I wanted to eat.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Mon 17 May 2010, 14:41, Reply)

I'm not so sure
I remember my dreams a lot, have very vivid ones, which do leave me with some feeling of whatever happened in the dream. I still find it easy to distinguish between the two though.

I answered your question btw:

If you could feel our pain
We don't do it on purpose, it kinds of happens, and then we usually feel very bad because we were unfair and, mostly, because we can't control ourselves.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Mon 17 May 2010, 14:31, Reply)

I am more understanding than I let on I think
I find it completely baffling though. It is something so far outside a man's comprehension.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 17 May 2010, 14:35, Reply)

It's out of mine too, it just happens
I can't understand how men can have a hard on without a reason, or when they aren't really in the mood for sex or too tired.

I can't understand it either when he's so ill he can't barely move, but still wants to have sex.

I don't feel proud of my mood changes. In fact, they upset me terribly, because I don't know if I am the unreasonable woman or the sweet one, and how much the hormones have to say in who I am.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Mon 17 May 2010, 14:37, Reply)

I'd say that was more understandable
as often a hard-on isn't necessarily linked to being horny. A traveller for instance (definition 2)

so is purely an increase of blood to a certain area.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 17 May 2010, 14:40, Reply)

Exactly
So how much of my bad mood it's just because there are too many some hormones in my blood at that moment? Is that really me, or is it the chemicals in my body making me be like that?
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Mon 17 May 2010, 14:42, Reply)

I think that is the bit that makes it so hard to understand
as either men aren't driven so much by hormones, or more likely, that they are driven the same way all the time.

I understand that it is not within your control (at least until you realise what is going on perhaps)
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 17 May 2010, 14:46, Reply)

I always thought I didn't get PMT
but then I realised that it manifests itself not in the stereotypical ways of me screaming about nothing, but that I'll suddenly find something stupid really moving. Like a coffee advert.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 17 May 2010, 14:52, Reply)

that makes me angrier
If I tell him I feel blue he needs to go through the motions of trying to make me feel better, including carrying on even when I reject all his suggestions and tell him I hate him unreservedly. Then he cheers me up by pointing out that stuff exists that I like, such as clouds and venus fly traps.

I suppose it should be weeed wee(ed)
But that's silly, so you could get rid of the third e and write wee'd, but everybody would get all poncy and assume you were using an unneccessary apostrophe, when in fact you were using it correctly, to denote a missing letter.

It's very embarrasing too when you get very upset for something and less 5 min later, you realize it wasn't so bad, so you have to go and say sorry. I hate when that happens.

Last week I had to admit that over email.
I started a fight over a really minor thing and then when I realised I didn't really have a point I just started rambling about random things that I hate. Eventually he asked what my argument was about and I had to say "sorry, I was being a psycho". And then he got to be all smug which annoyed me.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 17 May 2010, 14:33, Reply)

So at the end you had a good reason to hate him, for being smug

A police officer is walking down the street when he catches a glimpse of movement in an alley. Being a dilligent office of teh law he goes to investigate and finds a tramp on all fours being roughly fingered by another tramp.

"What the bleedin' 'ell in going on 'ere lads"questions the police office.

"Well" slurs the fingering tramp, "Neville here has drunk to much antifreeze and I need to get him to vomit it up".

"Well he won't be sick with you sticking your fingers up his arse" counters the officer.

"Yeah, but he will when I shove my fingers down his throat!" replies the tramp.
