Posted here last week about finishing that immune system course.
One idea from it kept coming back: immune response isn’t a straight line. A small exposure doesn’t automatically mean a worse outcome, just a different one.
This week gave me plenty of chances to test that. Move is heating up, freelance work spiked, chest got tight more than once.
Someone in the comments said a written recap probably wouldn’t have helped much. Fair. I never would’ve sat still for that anyway. Watching while half-packing boxes worked better.
Pulled that idea out 3 times this week when the spiral started. Didn’t make the anxious feeling go away. Just gave it somewhere to land instead of snowballing. 🙂
