You don't have to put on a cheerful face for us.

Thank you.

Thank you for the encouragement. As I'm reaching middle age I'm sometimes feeling like it's not worth it to try to change much, or something like that. As if there's not enough time to go in a different direction, so I better stick with the program and not do some wierdo, difficult therapy crap. You inspired me to think about it more consciously at the moment, and I don't really believe what I just wrote. IDK, I don't want to understand my life as something that needs to be changed and fixed all the time, as if the way things are is never acceptable, but I don't want to stop changing either.

It's worth it, oh yes it's worth it. If you're living in constant pain and you want to get rid of that pain, then you do what you need to do. At any time of life. Particularly when you know that a route to pain-free living is really out there. I don't know why you threw in "...that
needs to be changed and fixed all the time..." I know that a number of folks here have spent decades in therapy. I don't think I'm going to need that, by a long chalk. Nor do I think I'll need to redo my head again. So "all the time" seems strange to me.

This relates to what you wrote about PC being an "after market repair shop"- creative phrase. I feel regretful sometimes, but I want to focus on the wonderful feelings of new discoveries that can let me feel better and let me help other people feel better, the way it sounds like you're doing, as much as I can.

Yeah. You understand this thing. A person is not infinite. If you're really serious, I think that like many others (not all) you can do what you need to do and then you're finished. And I think you can help other people. Take care.
