stress-related

[memevector]

Not doing too well here. I've got this gum inflammation thing around two of my back teeth which comes and goes, and when it comes, eating is painful. :-(

I've had a similar thing before and I know (both from past experience and from the pattern of its coming and going this time) that it's linked to stress and overload and doing too much in a non-stop way. So I am trying my best to heed its warning and only do the essentials.

It's difficult though. There are still both some essentials that have to be by me, and some things which although I could cancel them and would quite like to, they are paid things and I am skint.

Have had a few good conversations about how things got like this and what needs to change. Most of the main parameters seem pretty intractable so I think it mostly needs to be the subtle things that change. But sometimes the subtle things can make a lot of difference.

Mind you I am still better off in circumstances than lots of people and I'm not disregarding that. And lots of things are still good, and in fact some of the hectic pace recently has been from good things moving on. Wouldn't swop my life. Just struggling more than usual at the moment with the sheer multi-stranded nonstopness of "things coming at me to be handled".
