Hi Candybear,

We've talked about some of the pressures happening to you at the moment.

The irony with the mood changes is that they come in the quiet times, when you're away from the trigger. I've never understood that. Somehow we hold up during the battle, and then we get wobbly after it's over.

When I left teaching I was still fighting the battles in my head for years. But now, it's past and I just have plain old anxiety disorder to cope with. It's not so bad at all.

Lake Michigan sounds nice. I live by the sea in Southern England and it's beautiful at the moment. The leaves are turning gold and the breeze is cool off the Atlantic. We have squirrels busy gathering nuts in the park outside our flat (apartment).

Good thoughts to you, Myzen,
