I'm glad you got through it and you'll keep getting through it because you have more to do.

Your story about Miranda Lambert reminded me of when I was in college. I listened to Tori Amos's Little Earthquakes so much that someone put a note on my dorm room door complaining about it. It wasn't just one song though but the whole album.

For me, it's just one song, over and over again. I think it's something about predictability = safety in my nervous system, particularly with the sensory stuff that blew up on me after my Abilify cold-turkey in 2023.

...but Tori Amos!!!!! Oh my lil respressed lesbian GenX heart 🔥😜🤣

Ahh, the A word. I think I have a ‘mild’ case. I don’t want to even think about it. This is all hard enough but knowing there’s something that makes it even harder seems unbearable. And yes, I just listened to the Hamilton cd nonstop, over and over, for 3 solid weeks. I know every nuance and breath they took. But it calmed me each and every time. Hope your wave is coming to an end soon. I have a song to play for you when I next see you at a zoom. Great writing as always…♥️

Aw thanks! 💜

...and if I ever run out of country songs to sing in the car, I'll start brushing up on my Hamilton 🙃
