It's not that my life is a nightmare, I'm just really bad at handling stress and have crippling anxiety and self-esteem problems. They're not as bad now as they have been at some other points so ... progress, I guess, though I've backslid before.

my inability NOT to be frazzled by what other people do or say. I'm trying to cultivate a live-and-let-live mindset but it's hard--especially these days.

and getting shot at more times than I can remember, I have a pretty good handle on not letting minor things frazzle me. As long as no one is trying to kill me, I can keep a balanced perspective on what really matters.

Not really things so much as just certain days

Somedays I can handle the stress (and boredom, mostly boredom) that comes with the normal middle-class life in the USA, and somedays I don't do so well. I'm not sure why that is - lack of sleep, too much caffeine (or not enough), or something else. 2017 for me had so many changes, some good & some bad, that I've considered writing a memoir about it. But truthfully, my life is pretty normal and secure (and somewhat boring), so there's not really much to stress about. I wouldn't say I'm one with the universe or anything so early 70s as that, but yeah, overall life is pretty good. I don't even think my weight is stressing me out as much as it used to, and that's always been "my precious."

Now that I have retired, I don't have the stress that went with medical practice, and my blood pressure has gone down. As long as I have enough to eat and drink, and enough books to read, life is pretty good.
