Men might be able to live by their bodies, but a woman must live by wisdom, or she'll be off-balance, with the endocrine activity throwing her for loops all the time. I recommend the Psalms heavily, the book of Proverbs too, very helpful for both wisdom and heart, comfort to the emotions, soothing. To let wisdom guide our hearts and minds is vital, for the biology is just too unstable, and can't be relied upon.<br /><br />I strongly recommend cutting your nails short for wisdom reasons, and Purposefully Choosing thoughts that are helpful and productive, while stubbornly refusing destructive thoughts. Daily humor is important, Laughing, as is beauty, flowers and trees, and hugs from a stable roommate like a loyal dog or a rabbit. Caring for a little one like that, gets our minds off us and onto another, moving our endocrine field into a positive function. It also gives us a creature to play and laugh with, to enjoy, and to love. I recommend watching YT videos of your favorite small animal that makes you smile and laugh. The great thing about dogs is that they get us out for walks in the sunshine and change of scenery for exercise and good perspective. Being indoors too much can bury the perspective. One must build their own stable life-structure, which when anticipating a move is challenging, but nonetheless, we must structure in as much positive as we can today, because delay of positives is costly. One of the things we feel most in challenging times is lack of power, control. Building one's inner life-structure, like I've described here, really helps rebuild one's sense of control and power over one's perspective. We can't control the world or all our circumstances, but we can structure our routines, our activities, how we think, the thoughts we will allow, and how we react to stimuli, and the positive things we build into our lives for the good. This becomes very essential, otherwise the things beyond our control will rule us. I understand more of what you've described than I can share here. Rest assured that you are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I send heart-hugs, desiring for you wisdom.

The first few years after feminine puberty, it is common for young women to have a very hard time with it, to go into crying jags, to battle What Feels Like "depression" every month, because the hormones are all over the map. They're not crazy or weaklings, they're just biological creatures who are going through great hormonal fluctuations, and scientifically told, hormones make a big impact on emotions; it is all Very convincing to the mind. It is a very real experience, and most guys would not be able to find their way through it, much as we had difficulty at age 13, when most young women come of age. I have thought of you, imagining what it would experientially be like for a guy to suddenly find himself with such hormonal flow. It would be very emotionally confusing to say the least. This I do know, we can't afford to be rash and make emotional assessments based on hormonal impact. We must only make decisions with a clear head, by wisdom, not by emotions. Emotions are a horrid, unstable way to live, in terms of following their dictates. This is one reason why I don't eat Soy, because Soy is estrogenic, and disrupts our endocrine system, throwing the hormone balance off, often resulting in mood reactions and upset. So if you ever eat that, I'd stop, reading all ingredient labels when grocery shopping. ~ To be continued, Thanks.God Withstands the Proudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074639949625319852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851748514318788614.post-2028708168945802422017-05-08T03:38:13.577+02:002017-05-08T03:38:13.577+02:00Long note, first of 3 parts, in order to post: Ma...Long note, first of 3 parts, in order to post: Maya, I empathize with you. I almost died in '96 when I also became blind and lost my power of speech (which I both regained), almost died again in '05, and have been through a lot of things that you have. We've been through serious things, and I too know what the loss of home and family can do. I know what it is to want to stand unhindered, to receive a respite from overt hardships. I have believed that there was a greater joy and purpose than the temporal, a cause to live that was beyond all that. It is TOO easy to get one's vision locked onto the magnifying glass of life's difficulties, and hard to step back for lifesaving perspective. But we need wise perspective. We can't afford the fall into the magnifying glass. Estrogen in one's body in youthful amounts affects one's emotions. From what little I know, you didn't experience that before, but now, it seems, you are. Estrogen makes the biological experiences and emotions topsy-turvy, especially until one gets accustomed to handling it. Even then, it isn't stable, because it shifts constantly through the month. Guys have a stable endocrine chemistry that allows them to enjoy an ongoing status-quo of body, that we as women just don't have. Granted, after menopause, it does get far easier, more like before puberty, but between puberty and menopause, it can be a wild ride, the first few years very hard, with one's mom saying often, "You'll feel better in a week" and sure enough, she was right. ~ to be continued in parts 2 and 3.

Ingress has a very large open community that seems to have a large capacity for accepting people as they are.<br /><br />The reason I mention this is my wife plays Ingress and it seems to help her mental state as well as get her out with people and walking. <br /><br />I hope things work out for you, both in your body and in your shelter.
