I heard about it after many years of suffering from it myself, and just |
| 32 |
knowing about it has helped me deal with it. I'm very much aware of its |

affect on me in the past few weeks in particular. I know it will pass in |
| 34 |
another few weeks, which is a special treat I can look forward to. |
