I was asked a similar question recently, the morning of Crown Tournament. A friend asked me if I was mentally stable enough to do the job, because she knew I had been struggling recently with depression. I know she meant that being queen was a hard job (which she has done twice, so she was speaking from experience), and it means having to put aside all of the internal crap and focus on the kingdom, but the question really irritated me. Is anyone EVER ready to do ANYTHING risky or challenging? To expect to have a flawless reign or to be 110% emotionally stable the whole time is unrealistic.
I told my friend that I was having my meds adjusted and that beyond that, I would take it one day at a time. Like everything else.
At least we only have 4 month reigns in the West. ;)
