IMPORTANT: MENTAL HEALTH 2 and things to come
3 years ago
It's about time I talk about what is to come very soon.
But first, be sure to check my latest upload in case you missed it as I need feedback about it on its page: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/48783992/
I won't repeat what was said 2 years ago in https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9545406/ since nothing has really changed, and if anything, it's gotten worse with different symptoms.
So I'll skip to the main point:
This month (I dunno when since at first it was supposed to be 2 weeks ago but I still don't have news), I'll be entering a psychiatric clinic and stay there for about a month.
Maybe more, maybe less, who knows?
I was supposed to go there 2 years ago, but at that point, I had no smartphone to communicate with the outside, so the clinic argued with my psychiatrist that it could have made my mental health much worse due to losing any mean to communicate with people I know.
Now, that I have one, the whiplash should be less violent, but nevertheless, I'm still quite apprehensive of this, which hasn't helped my state, and these last days, I've been feeling very sleepy and yet still stressed, not helped by the usual intestine problems that also get progressively worse.
It doesn't help either that the meds I've been trying these last month only had 2 possible outcomes: dead tired and sleeping for more than half the day or much more stressed and feeling like I'm gonna suffer a heart attack or my brain is gonna shut down or something.
It doesn't help that I live alone in a small village, away from big medical facilities. At least, in this clinic, I'll be surrounded by docs and nurses in case something doesn't go well.
But that also means I won't have access to my PC, so no more gaming or access to my files for anything (and probably having to deal with food my already fragile stomach won't appreciate or feel no nourishment from).
I currently also have no idea if I'll be allowed "days off" to go back to my place, so it's something I have to get info for. But even if I do, I dunno if I'll be functional for that as the goal of this stay is to drastically reduce the stress the "hard" way, so I'll probably be KO most of the time (more 10 years of anxiety and stress won't vanish like that, especially when trying to undermine their deeply-ingrained causes is currently pointless because it's too intense) and probably not in a awake-enough mental shape to properly interact with folks.
So basically, I'll only have my phone and whatever apps I can use to interact with the folks I know, while the rest will be activities provided by the clinic.
Whenever this is done, there will be other medical stuff to go through, but those should be less restrictive.
But in any case, starting this month, you can say I'm going on a forced semi-hiatus and there's no telling how things will go then.
So, take care, folks.

Which is why I'm going through this step.
I will be here where and when I can.
I wish you the best of luck my wonderful friend. Really <3
