I find that it is time for acceptance. Not an easy step. The world changed and having health issues at this time makes one vulnerable in so many ways. Time to accept that doctors are really crappy at complex health issues, are not interested in dealing with the big picture, or the role they play in making things worse. It is a different world with different rules now and very cruel. It is a joy when one experiences an encounter with someone that has remained kind.
This: "It feels as if so many of my ways of operating in the world aren’t working anymore, whether it’s because I’m older now, or I’ve done them for too long, or it’s a different world than it used to be." I think all three are working together. Your Twitter rage was spot on. It feels like every day there are new ways people screw other people. Not that it's any different than before, but yet, it is different. The world is different. It's more divided. And not just politically. Bullying via financial means, and that includes canceling Catapult, et al, can make us feel helpless. May your voice continue to ring out, Sari.

This made me remember the time I was a hair model at an Aveda convention in the 90s.
Depression is repressed anger. Love that. I also pulled the trigger on my Koch/catapult feelings and yep. Good call!
