Silver Lining: your doctor says it's par for the course.

You feel crazy. You're gonna feel crazy. It's OK. You're in the thick of it and I imagine it sucks in a way that's like saying the sun is hot, but it always helps me to know it's what's supposed to happen. You are a normal human being reacting in a normal human way.

There's no sense in asking too many "what ifs." Stop. It is an absolute and literal process. You have to go through this right now. You are going through this right now. Focus on that and cross the future bridge when you get to it. When you feel right again. And you will. It's at the end of the process.

Funsies: You get to own and explore your recovery. It's a golden opportunity for serious introspection. If you gotta do it anyway, may as well bear fruit.
