Is the weather Cozy & Calm with a possibility of "Neurodivergence?"

"In the 2020s, everyone was neurologically divergent in their own special & unique ways."

Perhaps the universe is just as amused by the twists and turns of its creations as a human being can be while riding a roller coaster, or driving up winding roads.

I am thinking once again of the interior of the door of the car, and how many components need to work together in order for anything to function well.

In recent days, some very daunting spells of nervous exhaustion came over me. What else could I do, but try to survive them and get better at learning more about my own nervous system?

When I had those spells of nervous exhaustion, it really did feel as if an ancestor of mine who was the mother of more more than ten children (perhaps thirteen or so) was resurfacing. She was the one who got put in an insane asylum twice - once after her husband died unexpectedly from blood poisoning, and again after they let her out and thought she might be okay. Then they decided that she wasn't, so they sent her back to the asylum, and there she remained.

My life is so different compared to hers. So why did I feel a kinship with her? Epigenetics, maybe. Stressors from this lifetime accumulating, perhaps. For whatever reason, it momentarily felt as though her experience was very close to me.

This evening, it feels like much of a transition has been completed. How alone I felt when those panic attacks occured. But I almost can't remember them now. 

Thinking of how there are so many things that people have wanted to ignore or not look at in the past, but these are exactly the kinds of things which can become the learning opportunities which will benefit humanity and future generations...and (in my opinion) future lives for the present generations, too.

When you have the right frame of mind, these trials and hurdles can still be really interesting experiences to learn from.

The balanced human nervous system can absolutely be wonderful helper. Sometimes, those who lost touch with how well it can operate in a balanced state can deeply appreciate getting it back to a state of balance.
