Do you ever feel that you are running low on common sense? That the space it generally rents out in your brain has become completely occupied by information and decisions…? The ability to make a decision based on emotion, rather than fact, has also been asked to leave. I wonder if you can ask it to come back sometime…you know, when work calms down and terrifying episodes are over with, can you ask it to come back so you can start feeling things again? Just feel them, without analysing them, or investigating the myriad of potential outcomes instead of just saying yes. Can you pretend, and just say yes, even if you can’t feel anything… is that a sign that you’re open to wanting it back for real? Or should you just wait, and hope, that someday, life will be more than just a decision.
(Again, I hope this makes some kind of sense.)

It definitely makes sense, it also sounds like you’ve a lot on your plate. I hope all is okay x
It will all be worth it! And yes, it makes perfect sense! x
I know exactly where you are coming from! I find when i have lots of work on my plate that I just cant make a rational decision about anything. Even what I want for my dinner! This may sound selfish but reading about someone else feeling that way - it makes me feel more normal so thank you. x
when you need a day off from everything just to try and listen to your own brain, but you can’t take a day off, so you just keep going and try to ignore your brain. Does that make sense?
Leah - that is exactly, EXACTLY the way it is, thank you for saying that.. You just made me see it very clearly - I need a day off. I’m going to make it my mission to get some space this week.
Thanks Amoc, La Bets and Susanae, all is good, I am very excited…
