Is anyone still out there??
So, I realized today that it's been about five months since I posted anything here on LJ *headdesk*
Shortly after my last post in June, I had a sort of breakdown and spent most of the month of July off of work for medical leave. I don't want to go into full detail but I went through ten days in a partial hospitalization program for depression and anxiety. I was given a choice between in-patient care or doing the partial program, which allowed me to go home for nights and weekends. for the most part, though, I spent those ten days on a locked ward going through a very intense therapy program. I'm feeling a whole lot better now and have been working on getting life, home and work re-organized using the tools I learned in the partial program.
Anyway, some of you may have noticed that I have a new banner here on my journal. Sadly, that's how I currently feel about several fanfic stories that I've started and not finished. I know I've been promising new fic for quite awhile now, but I have to be honest and say, if I do get back to writing fanfic, it's not going to be anytime soon. I've really tried to write on the stories that I have started but I'm just not feeling it the way I used to, if that makes sense.
That doesn't mean that I haven't been writing, however! I have actually been working on an original story that I got the idea for while on a camping trip this summer. So far it's going pretty well. I've been doing a lot of research for it and am hoping that maybe I'll be able to get it published - maybe.
Well, that's my update for now. How've you all been?
