Yeah. I seemed to get everything all at once during those months in late 2021 — I have a list on my phone so that I won't forget, and I have to scroll to read it all — but since then, I feel like I've been living life in reverse, getting stronger and feeling healthier each year as I age, despite the permanent spinal damage and the "incurable" stage 4 cancer lurking in the background.

So if you feel that everything's going south all at once, don't give up. Stay positive (joyful if possible; maybe keep a gratitude journal), and hang on. Things might keep getting worse at first, but they *can* sometimes eventually get better if you're stubborn enough to keep rolling with the punches.
