I'm not sure, but it seems to be a full time job.

It wasn't that long ago that I wasn't even able to get myself to read PB, let alone post, so the very fact that I'm here at all is a sign of progress to me. But it's like climbing a skyscraper to get back to normalcy, I feel like I just climbed 20 flights and I'm still closer to the bottom than the middle, even. Forget about the top.
