I'm sorry for expressing a controversial view (you have to apologize for that in order to get any respect in this ultra-conformist nation - I'm sure everyone, native or otherwise, knows which one I'm talking about), but I do not believe that any hormone imbalance was responsible for your behavior. There's an old excuse that everyone knows: "the Devil made me do it." The Devil has had many names: Satan, Beelzebub, The Dark Prince, and lately, Testosterone and Hormones. I don't believe there's anything that can stop you from teaching if you're committed. I'm sure the meds will help with the "emotions of your body," but what you really need is an attitude makeover. You screwed up. Don't do it again. :)

I've screwed up and thrown things, too. I, for one, know that proposing to blame The Devil (in any form, including those that appear in psychological journals) would have felt like sinking into an unbearably morose black hole.

So unless you're seriously psychotic, and I have no reason to believe you are, you need to start blaming your own initiative for the actions "it" takes.

Thank you,

Derf
