Back at last...
It's been a hell of a long time since I updated. And the past three years have been hell too...
I'd taken up to many assignments during these years and the effect it took on me is terrible. I started messing up my stories (have written about 1500 short stories in twelve years time!) and nobody sent out a warning. Not my editor, nobody. And I was oblivious of what i was doing. Eventually someone noticed I was seriously losing it and alarmed the publisher. I lost my job as a writer (which I don't regret for one moment) and have to pay back the messed up stories which is quite an amount of money.
Two months ago I faced the results of the stress: I came down with the most extreme case of eczema.
Had all sort of check ups and all that, but according to the dermatologist this major form of eczema is only due to stress, and nothing else. Now life is hell again. I have to rest, rest, rest , and try not to worry, not to feel stressed. Jeez.... what an impossible task!
This eczema never seems to stop, it doesn't heal. Every time when I think there's a slight improvement I do get a new outburst in a different manner.
But most disturbing of all is the fact that I'm losing my hair... HandsfulI, everyday. I'm actually losing all my hair... In two, maybe three weeks time I will be completely bald. Lost my eyebrows too.
Oh, yes... the specialist assured me my hair will grow back. Eventually. But it will take years before I will be my old self again.
'Suppose this is not much of an update after all these years, but I've been too busy working myself into the shit...
Thanks to the friends who kept me on their friends list... At least I will now have the time to update on a regular basis...
