It sounds like the weekend with your GF did you a world of good! Isn't it nice to get away sometimes?
Many MLCers gravitate toward some motions to soothe themselves: doing laundry, driving around, or some such activity. Yep, the stress will to a number on their bodies. It did mine during my own MLC.
When I got into my mean phases, it was because I felt really miserable, feeling tons of pressure and couldn't stand it when Ms. Wonka was her happy self. In a way, I subconsciously pulled her down to my level to make myself better about my own miserable circumstances. It is NOT you at all. Believe me.
I am glad to see that you are feeling more and more detached. It helps with centering yourself amidst the craziness going on around you.
Enjoy your book club tonight! Me? I am going to see the Vagina Monologues performance this weekend. FUN!
