Daily intoxication

Have you ever heard of ADHS or ADHD?
I didn’t know the abbreviation til I read in spreepiratin’s weblog about it. She named it “Maenner-ADS” (invented word) and I followed her link.
ADHS is the name for an (in German: Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-/Hyperaktivitätsstörung ), in english: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Spreepiratin wrote about it in a totally different context (men, ex-boyfriends and attention deficit problems, a funny read) *g* but I found out, that it is related to me (and probably to you as well). Now you may ask why…

First of all: nope, everything is fine with Nathan and me *g*
And, if you’ve now read the article what ADHD is…you may think….me…No, not because of the symptoms of ADHS that could fit to me: “Excessive speech” *lol* or “Answering a question before the speaker has finished” or “Failing to await one’s turn” 

I’m fine.

No, I scrolled down the (German) article and stopped (only available in the German article) at “Wie Sucht “funktioniert”" (means: “how drugs work”). Besides nicotine, caffeine, cocaine, cannabis, and alcohol, cocoa is listed as a drug as well. Of course it got my attention *mmhhh-yummy*
It is said that cocoa contains “theobromin”, which can bring you into a state of intoxication (Rauschzustand) especially if you combine it with caffeine!!
Chocolate and Coffee (my main and daily love-and-happiness-substitute drug *g*) can therefore make me kind of drunk?! The only person who could give a statement about my (weird) behavior, hehe, is now about 5.488 km (3.410 miles) away *sad*

Furthermore it is said that cocoa has 4 substances that have different brain-stimulating effects. One of the substances is “Phenylethylamin”. Here it’s said that this hormone can also be produced by your body itself when you are in love.
Well, what happens if you are in love and you eat tons of chocolate aaaand you are a coffeeholic??? (Cola => mirror => pale => scared because science can be painful truth…)

Okay, cocoa is supposed to have these 4 substitutes and that is, as the article concludes, the reason for stuffing oneself with chocolate when you’re frustrated? That would mean I am frustrated very often, almost every day…damn…
hmm, at least I have a reason for my choc attacks now…:)
Obviously I am not happy then  But I am! After I ate the choc 

Hmm…, thank you, spreepiratin, for giving me (unintentional) a new view of my choc addiction. Now I will always think about the “side-effects” when I sit on my computer with a big mug of coffee and at least one (huge) chocolate bar…yum. Now I know why I often write this nonsense…I’m intoxicated…of choc-coff-double-infiltration *g*

Have a healthy day,
yours missyCola.

[as my older readers may have noticed, the ‘missy’ of little Cola is back. This is due to some blog (strategy) purposes…unique name, more than 4 characters, easier to find by search engines and so on and I start to re-like my old name]
