I appreciate this post, Chelsey. Your writing about these heavy topics has had a huge impact on me, and I'm thankful for it. Ultimately I think this kind of writing is like therapy, I think it's something you need to do for yourself and it should be useful and helpful to you. If that stops being the case, no need to force it. In writing my newsletter I have found it hugely relieving to get these thoughts down, to process them through writing, and to hear feedback and comments from a few readers (like you!). But, I've also been wondering if it's run its course for now - is there more for me to say or process? I don't know. I do hope you keep us updated on your progress, and I always appreciate your thoughts. Thank you!

Hi Chelsey, I've been reading you from New Delhi for a couple of months. I'm grateful for your gift of being lucid and deeply honest. I wonder too about the disbalance between my intense obsessions (mental health, political activism, family) and my interests (travel, animals, children's books, laughter and relaxation). I worry about each stealing space and energy from the other. Your posts are very useful in helping me sort out my own feelings and priorities. You take the break you need... everything else is always there when we need to pick it up. Love, N
