Good day all,
For the first time ever (as far as I can remember) I am feeling anxiety free today. I suppose it could be contributed to the recent medication I started.

A change -whatever the judicial summary of the change- in the system produces a whole new equation which must be re-worked from scratch, old habits which are now counter-productive and a new system which must be learned.
The good news is that learning can be fun. Gentle support as you tackle the learning curve.
