Dear Elie:

Thank you. I didn’t recall your previous posts before I re-read them today though. After I posted to you today I thought to myself how funny it is that I listed 1, 2, 3, 4, as if they were easy to do, as if these were 4 household chores you can do in one day. So, I agree with you: “these problems are not instantly work through-able“.

The “long term complications” will require a long-term plan to resolve bit by bit, and not all complications will be completely resolved- not in my experience with my own long-term complications.

“I still need to get my other things in life done before being able to solve more complicated things mentally step by step. It’s a weird dilemma“- you can start with making a simple plan every day: first thing in the morning, list the steps you intend to take that day, listing them in order of the 1st to do, the 2nd to do, etc.

You can make a weekly list as well, where you highlight in yellow, let’s say, the steps to take in the following week that are of highest priority, highlight in green the steps of second priority, etc.
