Hello RachelLyn915: I enjoy reading about & watching TV programs that deal with current research regarding the brain. One of the things that keeps coming up is that much more of who we are, & what we do, is controlled by areas of the brain to which we have no conscious access than we typically imagine. So, although consciously you may have reconciled with your past struggles, non-conscious areas of your brain may not have.

I certainly have had similar experiences to the ones you are having now. Part of it, for me at this point, is that I'm older. As a result, I have allot of aches & pains that I presume are age-related. But also, I believe allot of it is related to my years of anxiety & depression. I also find that I don't want to do much, although I do make myself do some things whether I want to or not. But again, since I am aging, there isn't allot I have to do, & I have made peace with it.
