[QUOTE="Yeknodathon, post: 818300, member: 170661"] That is an interesting and perhaps challenging observation along the lines of "an inconvenience is an opportunity ill-considered"? I'll share my experience so far and as such I guess readers will take it as being relevant or not :) The return of lost energy and optimism beyond the dull thud of not even wanting to get out of bed sometimes has been a revelation. How many years have I been slowly edging to this, week by week, month by month that got me constantly tired, irritable and glum. The last few weeks have been a challenge. I mean, if I had said two weeks ago I'd be eating cold fish, looking at baking kale, stabbing my finger willingly, taking a bunch of meds I'd have poked myself in my eye with a selfie stick. Perhaps not immediately helpful to someone scared but I will offer this; I'm having a blast. Yes, things are not pleasant, I doubt change rarely is for me, but walking around town because I feel some renewed enthusiasm and disturbing the local chavs in my duffle coat and hat is... enjoyable. I'd never have said that two weeks ago. Apologies, I do not want to disregard anyone who is scared, a part of me is scared too. I'd suggest we deserve to experience the other side of the coin as well? [/QUOTE]
