Trippin,

No use trying to figure where these dark moods or manias come from. I've tried for years and all I get for my efforts in either more po'd or more manic. Maybe it's the solar storms that have been erupting every few weeks or a pulsar passing near the Earth or just our endocrine systems crashing. All we can do is roll with it. Psychiatrists are more like ancient wizards than modern doctors. They cast spells, give us concoctions cooked up in boiling cauldrons, try to cast off the evil spirits. For all it's worth, a medicine man or woman or shaman might be just as effective.
