nollyI think my comment in the branch discussion in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
serenejournal's LJ may be more clear than my original statement, which was something of a first draft, so I'm reposting it here:
I know that I rapidly become irrational when I need food, especially when I'm physically tired. I've gotten pretty good at having a plan for dealing with this in ways that don't have much impact on other people. Occasionally, factors beyond my control throw a monkey wrench into those plans, and the cranky spills. If I am not exhibiting basic courtesy, I don't feel I have a right to expect it from others. However, in this situation, rudely ignoring me is going to be rather less exacerbating
than rudely arguing with me, which is part of what I felt needed to be said -- whether it's heard or not. Handing me food or otherwise assisting in acquisition of food is likely to be helpful, but I don't actually expect that from anyone -- it's bonus if it happens, but ultimately, it's self-care and self-responsibility.
