Castor and Pollux Live Here

Most people think Gemini's are two-faced. I simply think we're good at reflecting what people want to see, and saving the truth for when we can spill it onto the internet.

When oh when will this hormone induced hell end?

This week, while being completely pre-menstrual to the point of insanity, I've managed to alienate my colleagues, wolf down double my weight in junk food, get drunk with a workmate that I don't trust that much and endure a hangover that has me swearing off alcohol in all it's glorious forms. Mr Wookie is hiding away until I manage to restock my evening primrose oil supply. I'm not sure but i think he has a food stash somewhere in case things get really bad and he has to bunker down.

I haven't seen the Fairy, but apparently his week has been just as nauseating as mine. I now have a feeling of dread in my stomach; a solid, undigestible mass of anxiety about going to work tomorrow, and for heaven's sake, this week I'm only there 3 days! I keep trying to isolate the issue, but all I can think of is that i'm yet to be diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder and I'm oversensitive to the point of despair. I want to find a cognitive behavioural therapist, but even if I do, when am I going to have time to actually go???

I just feel as if all of my rights at work are flimsy. I feel powerless when it comes to decision being made or things being asked of me, because I don't get a say in my direction. I feel like words are constantly being put in my mouth or particular events/ circumstances are constantly being seen as my fault, yet I never get a chance to defend myself. I guess, essentially, I'm sick of feeling like a victim, or as someone who can be manipulated.

People so often look at you, and simply run with the impression that comes most easily. Once you come to mean a certain thing, it's very difficult to go back and change that foothold; my mistake has been letting people see what they want to see and not being vocal enough.

If you had asked my friends a few years ago if i was in danger of not being vocal enough, they would have laughed in your face and begged you not to encourage me further. Now, I've lost this side of myself. I guess I overdid the outspoken thing back then, and now I'm trying to compensate. Unfortunately, it's doing me no favours. I work with a control freak, a hyperactive (albeit witha lovely heart), a total misogynist and a drug addled sociopath. Right now, all I want is to escape to the other side of the planet where I'll never have to see these people again.
