Sadly predictable sequence of emotions

My first day of taking BP meds, my brain gremlin* was all like, "you suck! You're such a failure! I can' t believe you can't fix this problem without a prescription, weakling!" This morning when I checked my BP it was 124/77--a very nice improvement.  So then the brain gremlin was leaning toward grudging acceptance, "well, this might be an ok plan, but you still suck."  Then I got on the scale and saw that I have lost a few pounds (because of temporary-ish water loss).  Brain gremlin: "OMG! This was your best idea ever! You rock! All of our problems are solved and life is perfect!!!!!" 

Stupid predictable brain gremlin.


*that evil, but not quite demonic, part of the mind that won't shut up even when it totally needs to shut up shut up shut up.
