You can Skype me if you ever feel lonely and email me and I promise come March, I will respond quickly.

I'm here for you. And hopefully when you're back in the US, Historicula and you and I can arrange a sleepover with much joy. NYC would be fine for a weekend, I have an apartment with space, and I live in a beautiful area and we can do some really neat activities.

I would be absolutely happy to Skype you once I've got access again! That'll be end of Feb, so that coincides with your availability nicely.

Thank you. And yes, I would love to come up and visit you. Shall arrange that when back!

Not a full diagnosis by any means, but does sound depression-like to me. St. John's Wort might be worth looking into as another possible thing to bring with you (I didn't try it because it doesn't play nice with birth control, but I was strongly considering it.) I'd be happy to help you explore more if you'd like.

See, Iv'e always been leery of labeling it that, because I've known people with depression, and it always sounds a whole ton worse than these ... whatever-it-is-s that I experience. I'll keep tabs on what happens over the year, though, and, shoudl I need to, will look into St John's Wort once returned. Thanks so much for your support and help!

Depression can work different ways. Sometimes it's short-term bouts of VERY BAD, and sometimes it's longer bouts of happiness-sucking that don't seem THAT BAD (especially in the midst of it) both types are just as worthy of being treated (and yes, I say this having spent a few years telling myself it wasn't THAT BAD - treatment can make a huge difference) Just a thought though - again happy to explore more with you if things don't improve (I got a degree in counseling while we've been not as much in contact)

Sounds like wee episodes of depression to me. I've had those feelings sometimes, but for longer periods and not as intense. But everyone's different. Might be worth talking to a doctor about.

pico_the_great February 5 2013, 06:04:27 UTC

See above about being hesitant to call it that, but I'm going to keep an eye on it. If I can handle it myself, I'd prefer to - since I don't like introducing drugs into the equation - so if Fish Oil and vitamins & lots of working out help fix things, I will take them. But rest assured, I will certainly talk to a doctor if I think it gets to be a problem.

Oh nooo. Those are a lot of feelings and it seems really tough. I mean, Harbin sounds like it goes pretty well most of the time (from your previous posts) and like you said, you have friends and such there, but I understand that it can still get lonely. Like, not exactly homesickness, but just...being so far from home, even when you're in a place where you're happy. There's a difference. Does that make sense?

I didn't know fish oil could have those kinds of effects! I usually just take it for the omega 3 or whatever. I wish Melatonin worked on me at all but I seem to be immune to it. Do they not sell either of those in China? :/

And when are you back in VA for good?

(PS. If you ever need to talk, I'm here. You have Skype, right?)

pico_the_great February 5 2013, 06:12:02 UTC

Yesssss. SO MANY FEELS. WHY CAN'T I HOLD ALL THESE FEELS ( ... )

kuridee February 22 2013, 01:11:43 UTC

WOW WORST AT REPLYING TO COMMENTS IS ME? I blame it on work?

Bleh. How is that working out for you so far?

I didn't know that! That's really cool that is has that effect. :D I've been taking fish oil but haven't seen a difference in anything...I think maybe all medicines just don't work on me or something? Neither does caffeine. /not bitter

(I can go ahead and PM it to you, as it's my ~Real Name. :D)
