Stress

Avatar for get_the_author

Written by Sean on Wednesday, July 28, 2004

I have been under some serious stress in my life for the last few months. Stress in my professional life, and other areas as well. The last couple weeks also saw my transabled feelings come back out in force. Are the two related?

It would be tempting to draw a direct correlation between stress and transability, but that is not a trap I think I want to get stuck in. I am sure that there are some impact coming from stress, but I don’t think it is the sole factor.

The causes of "all this" are much more complex than being able to point one’s finger in one and only direction.

First, there are chain reactions. The car ran out of gas, because we were unable to pay for gas, because we were not able to go to the bank before it closes, because we worked later than usual, because…. and so on and so forth.

Then there are myriads factors that are, at least on the surface, unrelated. And I can’t think of a proper analogy here, so I won’t strain myself about it!

All that to say that while there is stress in my life, and I’m quite assailed by my transabled demons, I don’t think the former is the cause of the later.

The two in tandem are really pushing me towards a place of depression
