Mental health

The last few days haven't been the most relaxed. However, I can say that the new stomach medication is fighting the stomach pain. I can feel it starting, but then I take the pill and it doesn't get worse. I'm guessing that right now the freak out is about immigration paperwork combined with the usual monthly hormonal insanity. That's fine. I'll survive this, especially since the medicine is stopping the IBS downward spiral. This is exactly what being an immigrant is like, though. It was February when we were trying to get out of Russia, and I remember walking through the snow day after day to a local government office to try and get all our paperwork sorted out. This doesn't involve snow or really any suffering, besides my anxiety. Probably, I could resolve some of that by paying the immigration agency who helped us move here, but I've heard this process is actually pretty easy. It seems a shame to pay a lot of money for something so simple.
