If it's any consolation, you're not alone, as I'm sure you know by now. But just as unexpectedly as the wave came and swept you up once, it can and will do it again. You just need to be available for the next ride. That's how I try to deal with it and so far it's working. I do my share of trying to suck it up, then finally having my say, and lastly, making a decision. Either you accept it and continue pressing forward with a positive mindset, or you might as well grab your coat and head for the door. Life on Medium is as up and down and unpredictable as the rest of life. At least that part you can always count on :-)
