Right back at you! Very lovely response.
I understand your mom's madness. You gotta keep the rotation going with beans, or you could run out! Since they've gotta soak and what not. The best foods are the simplest, it's always that way! I've got a book that I use most days. It's got the ugliest cover that ever lived, but I don't really care about that. I just open the thing, pick the area I want to focus on and go. There is not one pretty thing about the whole process, but it gives me a physical tell which is actionable. I have some cork blocks, but the mat can suck eggs. Anything needing particular padding I use a throw for.
On the big sads, I think that the various internal/external adversities we can face as humans can cause a multitude of issues. To the point where you can solve one, and even if it was the "biggest" one or the one that caused the most pain you'll find your battle isn't over yet. While things are hard to find, I swear to you if you can find someone who you can work through these things with it helps a lot. It doesn't really have to be one person, if you can find a group it can be like...queer magic!
Don't forget to be kind to yourself. Incremental gains and patience are best practices. It helps keep you from getting overwhelmed and being able to manage your time and energy. As someone who goes from 0 to 100, it has been a painful gain but it's helped so much. GL sis, you're gunna be fine!
