I'm afraid I can't move anything at the moment, except by asking. I will ask, and you can too, by using the contact administrators link at the bottom of each post's page.
I totally understand about work. I'm backed way up at work. Last year it was the summer of vertigo, this year it's the summer of computer troubles. I'm going to have to really buckle down the next few months. I get so tired of the relentless grind of deadline after deadline, but at this point I don't have much choice but to continue.
My mental health is pretty stable right now. I've learned enough about myself to be able to tell when I'm heading for trouble. Mostly I manage with as needed meds, though I'm on a mood stabilizer for migraines that also helps with mood. Therapy also helps me keep on even keel. Or as even as I'll ever get I guess. I've gotten to be like a chef watching a stew cook. Noticing that my OCD is up a bit, and looking to see what might be going on, or noticing that my sleep is off and trying to fix that right away. It helps, at least, that I've recognized that whatever is happening is unlikely to happen forever, or even for very long.
Does it help that your moods cycle so regularly? I often am caught unaware, and don't recognize obsessiveness, for example, until someone points it out. Or until afterwards.
Babble can definitely eat up a lot of time. I'm shocked sometimes at how much. But I hope you get caught up so that you can join us more often. I've missed your voice here.
