"PTSD and CPTSD dissolve the borders between past and present" and "I must rest when I need to rest." Two tremendous truths. Hoping for some relief your way, at least from the physical symptoms. We learn to accept as best we can, but it's also nice to have a reprieve! As well as some headspace to recenter. ๐Ÿงก

Please rest. You are such a gift, your words are a gift, but you are so much more than what you produce for us here. I am grateful for you, friend. And I will gladly read whatever you send us, whenever you send it.

I am left speechless whenever I read your essays. Dreadfully sorry about the hives! Iโ€™m glad youโ€™re sleeping and meditating and doing all the things to take care of yourself. Maybe give yourself permission to just let one thing go. Maybe one newsletter next month? No one is judging you harder than you judge yourself.

I'm a new subscriber and I love your work! I'd seen a piece on Woolf's dead moth story and cannot find it now. Can you help?

Thank you!
