Body: underway; Mind: getting started

I suppose the seeds were planted when I went off of antidepressants, and it sprouted when I reexamined my career interests and identified and put the nails to mental health problems.
About nine months back, I started dealing with all my physical medical shit. I worked on fixing my knee, fixed my sleep schedule, saw a doctor about changing my sex, starting eating less sugar, more veggies... and so on and so on.... It was years of backlogged physical medical issues all piled up together. It's still in progress.

Now I am dealing with the emotional aspect. First I was just feeling it - being in an occupational and embodied place and now a home where I am closer to how I really should be living my life removes my need to try to ignore my emotions, which gives the subjective impression of turning up the volume on them (abetted undoubtably by a second round of puberty).

The catch/advantage is this: the more clearly I feel , the more able I am to to identity and resolve issues. The more I resolve issues, the more clearly I feel. A cycle.

The intimidating issue in both cases is that there's a huge backlog to deal with.

I suppose that this is what you twenties are for.

Do you use any instant messengers?

Not really - I dislike typing conversations, and enjoy face-to-face.

Ah, pity. I find it's the best way I have of keeping in touch with people whom I don't often get the opportunity to see. At the very least, it makes planning get-togethers easier.
