I havenβt been around muchβ¦ and will probably go on an indefinite hiatus. More below the cut.
CW: mental health, grief, depression.
Truth be told, I havenβt been doing too great for the last three months. In fact, this is the absolute lowest I've felt in a while.
Iβve suffered from mild anxiety for most of my adult life, on and off. When things seemed to have begun looking up for me a couple of years ago, grief struck. The magnitude of the loss my family and I sustained turned me into a deeply depressed wreck of a human being.
So⦠anxiety skyrocketed and was joined by grief-induced depression. Yay. Fuck me.
But life keeps going, right? With this mindset, I tried to turn things around for me this year, both in general and kink-wise. Inspired to give Tumblr another shot (yeah, this is not my first rodeo), I set things up and got comfy in my tiny corner of the Internet.
Or so I thought.
Unfortunately, what Iβd hoped would become a safe place for me to connect with like-minded people quickly turned into yet another source of stress. Feelings of being a nuisance when interacting with others, inadequacy, and self-consciousness permeated my experience to the point of making me virtually unable to enjoy being here anymore. Of course, this is just one part of the story, and much more is going on behind the scenes (work, school, health stuff). Still, it seems most relevant to mention, given how it pertains to my (lack of) activity here.
So yeah, as far as my blog goes, I am throwing in the towel, at least temporarily. At this moment, the anxiety and depression are far too intense for me to deal with any extra stressors. I'm just so damn exhausted with everything, especially feeling like a damn failure who can't even handle something as trivial as a silly website.
To however few people Iβve talked to, thank you β not only for your time, but also for making me feel welcome and far less lonely. Iβm sorry I canβt reply to all of you individually; Iβm just in a really shitty place right now.
