Does too much sugar put you in a pissy mood?

[GoldenGutters]

Because I'm in a pissy mood right now! My mother got my partner and I a box of See's candy which I've single handedly hoovered up along with half a bag of dark chocolate minibars. I've been sick for over three weeks and gaining weight like a fool. I got shot in the rear with an air rifle by a group of punk kids ( ) on my way to work Wednesday, and I feel neurotic, anti-social, and I wanna curl up in bed and say 'SCREW YOU' to the world.


Thank you for letting me vent

Dearest GG:

Eatting the sugar is not what usually puts me in the mood ... I'm reacting to the mood by eatting the sugar!!! I'm sorry you are having a bad couple of days and I can certainly feel your pain. Try looking at the small positives -- it could have been a double barrel shot gun. You could be so broke that you couldn't afford the candy, yada yada. I love you -- well that may not be a positive as far as you are concerned!!! You know, in some countries extra weight is considered attractive and indicates wealth and success!

Keep you head up and your ass down! Things will get better, they always do!

Love ya,
Di

Hi GG,
I have Hypoglycemia and that causes me to be in the kind of mood you described when I eat too much sugar.

I also can see why you would feel the way you do after going through such a degrading experience as you did on Wednesday and I'm sure that it was painful too.

Maybe you should just give yourself some time to cry it out & scream it out in privacy. Maybe you could just get some paper & start writing exactly what you're thinking & feeling. Keep writing until it's all out. I've done it before and I was writing and crying and angry and all of it came out and I felt so much better. I was surprised at how well it worked.

After you get it out, I think that you should treat yourself special for a while to complete the healing process. It's worth a try anyway, don't you think?!

When Sugar says she has a headache...that puts me in a mood *LOL*

No sugar sets me off for a dayand then I mellow out. To much sugar slows me down and if I am in a mood before the sugar, I can get on edge if there isn't enough (to much) sugar in reach.

Sugar doesn't cause the mood for me but once I am on a sugar kick...the lack of sugar can set me off.

Each person is different and sugar can be like a drug for many of us.To much or not enough.

Too much sugar does make me neurotic, then severly depressed. Just like Nina Kay explained. Im also less likely to eat anything else good for me that day if I have to much sugar
