Glad I came across your stack Max. Thanks for sharing about your deep thinking father, and these portals we access both consciously and subconsciously 🙏🏼
You mentioned my favorite word, perimenopause! I'm all ears now. I saw myself in your words "...explaining how hormones were the catalyst of a physical and emotional breakdown, leading me on this insightful journey into my overall wellbeing...." Perimenopause, especially the early days back in 2020 and 2021 for me, brought me to my knees.
It was from those ashes that a new and improved Shelby was born. I'm still perimenopausal so some days are still rough (just took a nap after a very long week), but I've found great support by connecting with others and sharing our stories. I hope to see your story soon. Every word counts towards letting other women know about the variety that is perimenopause. I'm subscribing now, so I'll watch for it. I'm sure I'll find a way to bring it into a The Periprofessional article.
Hi Nicole. Thanks for subscribing to "My Autism Stack". It began as a diary of our life in Autism -- myself and Sandra my wife. "In Autism" because for me Autism seems to be more than a diagnosis, more than just a neurological difference, Autism is an Altered Reality, a strange realm that non-autists have no access to except to encounter it, to read about it, through the words, the expressions, of the autist.
So this is our task. To make our Autism world intelligible for the non-autists, who see us as other worldly creatures, as "aliens in their midst".
So my other substack, "Running Elk" tells the story from another perspective, allegorically, weaving the complexities of my inner world into a multi-dimensional narrative of altered realities, shamanic experiences and end-time prophesies.
Within the Running Elk narrative is a kind of semi-autographical novel, "The Borderland", written and added to as the pieces come together. The first chapter, "my struggle with atheism" coincides with your question about "portals":
"My father read widely, and thought deeply about things. He must have read somewhere about meditation, and he habitually took some quiet time in the early evening after a long day at work, sitting in his armchair, sometimes listening to classical music, reading, or just nodding off into a reverie. “The hinterland”, he called it. That “other realm".

Thank you for subscribing Shelby 🙏🏼
I will send over the questionnaire tomorrow, il have more time when the kids are in school.
That would be great if we could work my peri story, into The Periprofessional.
Great to hear you don’t have so many off days with symptoms, light at the end of a dark tunnel 💫
