I have had my share of health issues the past two years, and I am so sick of doctors and clinics. My issues are not new, but they are becoming extremely annoying, and my normally good attitude has gone on vacation. I can feel my rebellious side growing, and I am already neglecting exercise and eating too many carb-rich foods. I know I need to take better care of myself, but the scary thing is, I don’t want to. That’s right – meet the brat having a tantrum.

I’m an adult, so I don’t throw myself to the ground and beat it with my fists, screaming. That does not mean I don’t need to. Everyone needs to release the pressures of anxiety, overwhelming circumstances, and grief. Some people run a couple of miles or work out. Others write letters to editors or their congressmen. I am a scrubber. I also will rant out a blog post now and then.

How do YOU throw a tantrum?
