{{{vw}}} It will be ok. You are one of the strongest people I have ever met, and you will find a way to deal with all of this. I am always amazed at how strong you are. Also, you have a lot of good people in your life, doctors, friends, and family, who are there for you. You can do this.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

not curled up in a ball somewhere.
I'm afraid that very soon, that's exactly what I'll be doing. I'm just not holding on very well. Soon, the ball is gonna win.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Vw, if you want to be a ball, be a ball. From what I've seen, you won't be a ball long. Take a breath, take a vacation from caring and thinking for a second. We're all here, and you have people physically close to you who care about you and are thinking about you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Curling into a ball and running away are time honored metods of dealing with badness. That said, current craptasticness is totally bump in the road and not your final destination.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Can I be a ball who runs away?
Yep!
And then you'll come back. 'Cause you're just that tough.

I am reading a book on exercize. That's, like, a step in the right direction, right?
Depending on the size of the book, it may well be an upper-body workout in itself. OotP sure was.
I just got back from a lunch spent buying shoes. (Well, sandles.) Yesterday I spent my lunch hour getting a haircut. It feels like someone enhanced my girly side when I wasn't looking. Whee!

Ok. Runaway plans foiled for now. Going to see a movie instead. Need to shower. No energy. Maybe moviegoers will get to smell stinky me for a couple of hours.
