Put those two together in regard to feelings, and what do you have but a kind heart toward each feeling, no matter how ugly or unwanted, and the knowledge that whatever it is, it won't be permanent. That's gotten me through hell. Americans don't like feelings, except the Superbowl kind. I so envy the more passionate cultures, where wailing in the street is not perceived as a failing but is seen as evidence of a person's humanity. As tech-savvy as we are as a nation, I'd say we're still fairly primitive in the emotions department. SOOOO glad you feel more like your usual self. Making changes is not easy, not ever.
