I’ve been told to get on medication more times than I’m comfortable admitting. Self-medication always appealed to me more though. And crying is my drug of choice, when I’m experiencing too many emotions at once. The stream of tears personifies all the pressure I feel, and allows me to acknowledge that it isn’t just a figment of my imagination. But sometimes…I prefer the stimulating version of this depressant. This is when I start craving cocoa-cane. Our history suggests this habit isn’t good for me. Because I usually end up desiring it daily. So I’m fighting temptation…until I learn to exhibit self-control. Which has been hard. Since the stress that chocolate relieves…also induces the type of release…that makes my eyes water.
