Thank you for your reply in particular, Beezlebozo.
And to everyone else as well.
It feels as if I am normalizing the feeling of abnormalty to some degree, if that makes any sense at all. Difficult material is still coming in big waves, though. Feels as if I am beginning to see my resistance to change for what it is.
I am taking the week off from work and studies to devote myself to introspection. If I feel up for it, I will visit the local zen center on thursday evening, that's when they do their extended sittings.
I will return to let you all know how things are going, but I feel certain that the change is all for the "better". Whatever that means. Probably better to say that the change is taking me closer to "truth". Whatever that means. I don't know. Lol. Perhaps you do.

Lots of gratitude, once again
Take care
