a beautiful mind

Various things have happened this week which have made me realise that my mental health and physical wellbeing are currently in a Good Place. It's weird when that happens. Depression, melancholia, sadness, pain and anger all have a terrible habit of crashing uninvited into your life at unexpected times, but sometimes they tiptoe away so quietly that you don't even realise they've gone. I ran down the stairs this morning. Whoa, girl! Slow down! Where has Pain gone? When did Fatigued Limbs and Heavy Muscles scarper to pastures new? I have smiled and laughed quite a lot this week, seeking people out rather than hiding in a corner. My house has been slightly unclean and possibly a little messy, but I didn't go batpoo crazy panicking about it. I feel tired, but not exhausted; just ordinary everyday normal tired. I feel content and relaxed and it is a wonderful feeling. I don't know how long it will last. I could wake up tomorrow with aching limbs and/or the desire to curl up in a ball and cry, but likewise, this feeling could last for a couple of months. I have no way of knowing. There's a part of me that wishes I hadn't stumbled upon the realisation that everything is hunky-dory. After all, ignorance is bliss and now I'm on high alert wondering when I'll come crashing down again. Oh, well. Ain't Life grand?
