Your post made me smile
that's exactly what my brain does, lies to me in the extreme opposite sense, it's so annoying though - I have started to notice it and catch it out, but it's really tough constantly battling your own brain - surely that energy we need to battle our life's obstacles and enemies, not our own brains - I just wish I could find a balance and learn to manage it more effectively in a dynamic way, so I can adapt to it quickly and get it under control fast before I do anything bad or stupid.
But you're right, it always passes, it's the damage done in the meantime I hate (and need to find a way of expediting or making the most of) - I am in a competitive industry, I can't afford my brain conking out every few days!
