Heading back

"My tongue ulcer has been causing intense pain for three days, and there's no sign of improvement. The constant traveling lately left me with little rest, which might have contributed to accumulated 'internal heatiness' (a Traditional Chinese Medicine concept referring to inflammation). This also triggered a cold sore on my lower lip. To make things worse, I suddenly feel like I've lost all my English vocabulary – every word seems to have vanished!"

"I'm still anxious about my upcoming interview. Despite my preparation, I can't shake this fear of not being ready enough – I'm terrified that my anxiety might sabotage this opportunity."
