In which ratherastory whines about life in a vague way

I know I haven't been writing or posting much. I have been remiss, and I do apologize for that. There are reasons, all of them RL related.

Know this, you are loved. I can't help much, but I am thinking of you and I do love you.

My mom was bipolar type ii. She had extreme agoraphobia among other anxiety problems though and that was far more crippling for her. I just have chronic old depression that never goes away. I have to take meds and see no future in which I go off them, but I guess you never know.

How long have you been in the bad head space?

Have many supportive thoughts. I'm sorry things are so tough right now. If there's anything I can do over the interwebz, let me know, PM, whatever. You are amazing and courageous and in no way is going through your own kind of hard time when others are going through other hard times something that should make you feel shitty or apologetic. There's surely enough bad in the universe to go around, and hopefully there's enough compassion to go around as well.

Hey -- don't apologize for not feeling 100%. everybody has bouts of blah-ness. Come here to get support from friends who understand that that's reality.

Thoroughly understand the work-related and financial stress. It honestly does help to talk to someone about it, if for no other reason than sometimes you can better articulate "ineffable" worries if you have to explain them to someone. Plus, you might get some useful ideas that you hadn't considered.

As for your health -- have you been to the doctor lately? Stress takes its toll on us physically, which makes us more tired, less able to concentrate which makes us more prone to stress which ...

Have a virtual kitty who will hug you and then breathe on you with his old man/fish breath.

Migraines by themselves will make your brain feel like porridge, let alone all the other junk you're experiencing. Might it be seasonal, as in allergy-induced issues? All that damned pollen in the air...

Don't be too hard on yourself. You've got the mad talents, and we all go through cycles of one kind or another. You're not being frivolous or self-indulgent or vapid; you're being human. And clearly you've got the perspective so see what's going on.

A new home, a new critter, job crap...sounds like stress is rearing its ugly head. But this too shall pass! And with the increased sunshine, maybe that'll help. Hang in there! We're all here with you.

Ooops. Wrong 'reply' button! Ah well...we could all use a little chick flick moment! :D

*hugs* I hope that you can figure out what's going on health-wise or that things get better on their own.
