Update: I'm Back

[shiori_makiba]

 Sorry for the long silence, everyone.

My mental health decided to give me fits all of a sudden and the stress of . . . everything . . . did not help. My emotions have been very up and down and all over. And anxiety makes it difficult for me sleep at the best of times. So  I just have not had the spoons to interact all that much.

I feel better now. I could be better but I think this is about as good I'm going to get while Agent Orange and others like him are running this much of the globe.

Thanks

Sorry for worrying you. My main method for dealing with being feeling overwhelmed by all of things is to withdraw - a lot.

I'm trying to be better about reaching out to good support (i have in irl and here on DW, thankful but anxious brain is very good at convincing that it won't help or make fun of me for needing. Logically, I know that's not true. But anxious brain doesn't listen to logic. And sometimes you don't realize the bad tape has been rolling and infecting your thoughts until it gets bad. Getting better at handling this stuff in a healthier manner but it's a work in progress.

I usually find hugs, virtual or others, desired. *hugs*

Pretty tree!

Lilac is such a cheerful color, isn't it?

*hugs* Nothing at all to be sorry about, don't worry. Anxiety brain and I are old friends/foes, so I entirely get it.

Lilacs are *marvelous*. Lilac season is my absolute favorite part of Midwestern spring. Too short a season is the truth, though; wow but lilacs don't stick around long!

I appreciate it. I wish you luck and strength in your battle against our mutual frienemy. It is a wily one.

Re: Lilacs

On the one hand, shame that it doesn't last long.

OTOH, maybe it's short season helps you appreciate it. Because you know you're going to get a short time with it.
