I am usually a sensible christian mom grounded with appropriate goals and sensible actions. But every now and again I just loose it and I get a little crazy in an attempt to get "it" out of my system. I never endanger my heal by doing anything too stupid....but I feel backslidden in my heart and mind when it comes to my spiritual health. I just want to understand myself better, but when I feel this way I am not very objective. It becomes something like asking a child why they eat dirt...they dont know why but their body does...there is something missing....a vitamin or mineral....well while I am not eating dirt I find myself acting and thinking in strange ways ..... ANY ONE>??? Is it satan? Am I crazy?
I just dont know....

Not crazy at all, as in the case of a child eating dirt because thier body says "hey i need that mineral", the mid also needs a diet of sorts.
You could say that sleep is one of the things a mind needs, similary a release for anything that gets bottled up. You are a mom, you have resposibilites that extend far beyond yourself, you may find that a mind imbalance (nothign serious, could be something like the kids arguing) in those you are resposible for will get bottled up in your own mind.
Its gotta go somewhere, being "a little crazy" occasionally isnt crazy, its normal

i don't believe in god or satan,, so i might not be able to give you the sort of answer you're looking for., but i think what you're describing is rather common with people in general.
and if you're gonna feel "spiritually backslidden" every time you get like this, then i guess you're gonna have to do some math., to see what's more worth it.,, getting the "vitamins out of the dirt", or refraining from your urges. duality can be a tricky customer. all i can say really is,,,, that sucks for you that your two sides can't just get along. good luck.

I totally know how you feel. Usually, I kinda break with everything and everyone I know for a while and try new things and try to meet new people, but sometimes I find myself doing less than responsible things like calling in sick to work and going to the beach and just hanging out somewhere and not telling anyone where I am for a couple of hours. I'm not really hurting myself or anyone else much, but it confuses most people I know and sometimes hurts their feelings. For me, sometimes I become too responsible and people take it for granted that I will be there to sort out the details and sometimes I think I just have to say "NO MORE!" but I can't and that is when I get like that.

It sounds like there is a battle ragging for your soul. You must remember that this world will never satisfy your desires. Paul the Apostle compares this struggle as to a battle. The only way to win this battle is to walk in the Spirit. Have you ever received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost?
