Stephi Lee

[Mister Obvious]

I think it's completely understandable that Stephi struggles with her mental health now.

You gotta think about it...

Ever since she was a small child, she's been priming herself for death at a young age.

She never EXPECTED to live to be even the age she is now. She spent all those years learning to let life go, learning to accept that she would die, preparing herself in every single way that a person possibly could.

And now to have a new lease on life? Now to have a FUTURE? Wow, it must be incredibly strange and hard to grasp.

It makes perfect sense that she would struggle with it. It's almost like she has to deprogram all that programming she did to herself. It's almost like she may not even really know who she is in this new paradigm.

Yet, the flip side is that she SHOULDN'T completely deprogram herself from her comfort with death. She should hold onto that, to some degree, because it's an amazing perspective and strength she built up, that most people don't have.

She went through all of that so deeply and so profoundly, for a REASON.

Stephi should make sure to seek therapy and speak with (really good quality) psychiatrists and whatnot, just to have a professional perspective on what she's experiencing. And truthfully, I think Stephi herself could make a wonderful mental health professional someday. Or, you've heard of life coaches? Well, death coaches are a thing too. Stephi could do A LOT with the things she's strengthened within herself, and the knowledge that she has.

She could help others in the future. But right now, she should focus on getting some hours of talk in with a really good, carefully selected, maybe even specialized therapist/counselor/psychiatrist who is gonna be a really good source of insight and help her understand that what she's experiencing is completely normal.

Stephi's got a perspective that is so different from 90% of folks out there... and of course, it's a perspective that she also shares with many of the people who had cystic fibrosis that was successfully treated with this new drug. But those folks are probably hard to come across.

So she's gonna need to get some specialization going on in her life. She's a wonderful soul, so talented, and once she's armored up with the next level of understanding about her life and the situation, she'll be able to help others in a whole new way.
