Sources of Stress
Sep. 26th, 2013 12:07 amMajor sources of worry seem to behave like a stack. The current major worry nags at you until something bigger goes on top of it and starts occupying my attention. Then that resolves, and I'm back to the previous worry.
This is distinct from minor worries, which seem to be additive.
There's one fairly unshiftable major worry on my stack, currently about three layers down, namely my ongoing body/species issues. I wonder what would be beneath that if I ever found a way of addressing it.

Do you ever run into shift/reduce conflicts with major worries? ^v^ (Or are there never any reductions?)
