I have. I'd say the past one or two weeks, I've had a big uptick in shifts (mostly mental shifts). I attribute it to two things though (for me):

1. A LOT of stress has been taken off of me recently. Classes finished about a month ago and I had an insane schedule, 17 hours along with human biochemistry (by far the most challenging class I've taken thus far). Also, two weeks ago I took the MCAT, so naturally I was quite stressed about that as well. Since that's been completed, I've noticed that I've been a lot more loose and have "allowed" myself to shift more (as apposed to suppressing them).

2. Within the past two weeks or so, being free, I've begun to go out exploring around the area. I've gone hiking a couple of times, visited some different parks and a national wildlife refuge, and ultimately just had a good time out in the woods. I find that that has allowed me to relax a little more and perhaps has stimulated more shifting.

I won't lie, I'm glad to have them come back. The past semester or so, not shifting and suppressing shifts did a lot to increase my overall stress levels and frankly wore me out.

Eh, it's spring is my excuse. Winter's gone, could just be an emotionally-linked subject. I don't know, don't care t o think about it.

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that! How's it going though? I'd definitely recommend that, besides just relieving stress and everything, being out in the woods is a great place that you can be free to have a mental shift really without anyone around.

I know i'm dragging up an old post, but didn't want to start a new one when my post pertains to the same thing.

The past 2 weeks I have been feeling extremely animalistic almost all the time. Examples of this are phantom shifts with mood changes, mental shifts almost every night when I walk outside, constant dreams of being wolf and overall very wolf like thoughts and actions. It's especially apparent when i'm ticked off at someone, I can feel phantom hackles raised, ears plastered to my head, my nose crinkles in a snarl and I feel a phantom tail being held up in a show of dominance.

I'm enjoying it to be honest, as when school and work bog me down, it's like i'm being beaten into submission, and these feelings maybe still occur, but not nearly as strong. However, at the same time this brings about some feelings of loneliness, as I keep feeling the need to find another therian of any type to talk to and share feelings with physically, not just through text.

Sorry for the ramble, I needed to get these things out, need to talk to others like me, so any other experiences or recent stories I would love to hear.
