Built on the Rock

…hey ho Voxtropolians!

I thought I owed you at least a short explanation for my sudden dropping off of Vox and M.  I’m still alive….but some days, barely.

You see…..knowing that I am wired as an INTJ, I never gave any thought to the huge amounts of energy or the thousands-of-ideas that my mind generates on a daily basis.  It’s just ‘me’ to be on fast forward.

Never gave it any thought that is until everything was not status Quo.

I tanked.

I bit the dust.

I burned out.

Well, not me exactly.  Just some important little innards called my adrenal glands.  See…they are the innards that handle Adrenalin.  (Now I know why I’m a Type ‘A”!)  As long as your adrenal glands handle adrenalin ok, everything chugs along as usual.  When they reach the end of their capacity however, that adrenalin spills over onto your thyroid and ovaries…ahem.  Let’s just say that having excess hormones coursing through that part of your womanly parts starts to mess things up a bit.

That was in July.

So, after spending a small fortune on EPT’s, I finally saw a naturopath who had an explanation for why I was tired, nauseous and dizzy for 18 hours of the day and a raging lunatic for the other 6.

After some supplementation I can feel things returning to normal.

Not that I’m sure what normal is though….I have also discovered that I can ‘feel’ when I turn on my adrenalin switch.  I can now identify when I start to ‘dose myself’ with a shot of this self-replicating-self-supplying drug.  My next journey is learning how to switch that off as soon as I recognize it and learn new ways to operate.

Any of our INTJ’s out there who operate slowly???  Who can give me some productivity tips on how to handle the gazillions of ideas that I can’t personally react to anymore?

I need to learn slowness.
