I am sorry to be slacking

That;s basically what I need to say. I haven;'t kept up as Deathmistress, I haven;t sent the postcards yet and I haven’t responded to some PM’s

It’s all my fault,I’ve kind of had a depressive mood lately. Talked to the doctor and have a pill now to take regularly. I hope it will be a temporary thing as keeping up with my diabetes meds is annoying enough. But that situation is getting much better thank heavens.

I will be doing my best in the coming week to catch up on everything I mentioned above. I’m just glad I have this community to come back to, it’s been over 26 years. Forgive me for falling behind.

You are forgiven! We’re just happy youre with us and doing better.

I’d already guessed you’ve been up against some heavy stuff, and was happy to send you postcards to help cheer you up a bit. No worries about sending yours out! If you don’t get around to it, we all understand.

Take it easy on yourself. We’ve all been there!

I am not a doctor but it’s my distinct impression that having depression is not the fault of the depressed person.

Perhaps we could send cookies​:cookie: to Baker to cheer her up​:grin:

Hmm … but that does give me an idea.

OK, fellow exchangee …

  1. get yourself better and only then
  2. catch up on the paper work.

No. No, it’s not your fault your brane is working against you. Trust me. I get it. I’ve been crushed by The Weight. Keep taking your meds and remember that the brane telling you it’s all your fault is the same one that is working against you.

Your brain will come back eventually.

Also not a doctor, but I agree with this impression.

Take care of yourself. Repeat as needed.

I’ll echo the sentiment - take the time you need to get more settled in with the meds and sloooowly get caught up with everything else as time permits.

You blaming yourself is understandable ('cause we all do it), but it’s another minor self harm and stress provider. Just know we’re glad to have you back, and you don’t need to make us another chore you feel you need to be caught up on ASAP.

Best wishes, and hopes for peace of mind given the various slings and arrows of the current outrageous fortune.
