I just need to say something.
11 years ago
I’ve had a few people message me recently about getting on Skype or Steam, or other ways to talk. I haven’t been around much at all and I know people are wondering about it.
I just haven’t been up to it much, I’m struggling with a lot of problems right now and it doesn’t leave me with much energy.
I’m sorry I haven’t been around a lot, but please, PLEASE don’t make me feel guilty about it. I know it’s not intentional for most of you, but it still hurts. I already feel guilty about it enough without being hounded.
I’ve been fighting mental illness my entire life, and with things that have happened recently it’s been almost as hard as it’s ever been. I just need time to figure things out.
This is a battle that I will never win, but I can keep fighting, I refuse to give up. I almost did once and I won’t go down that road again.
All I ask for is patience and understanding.

Best method I found was email, because with that you often have no expectation of a reply even that day. And people tend to slow down and share thoughts more explicitly, more emotionally or at least detailed, than you get from a tweet or short bit of typing over IM.
So yeah I understand your situation too well - and sort of wish my psychiatrist appt. came sooner. My meds aren't working well, just keeping me zombified which is no way to live.
Your reasons about being absent are definitely understandable, naturally! Take your time with that stuff, as finding tranquility is mandatory to be healthy again. *nods* I hope you are alright, and you get better too. Moreover, I look forward to that appointment you have on September!
