What I thought was the onset of an depressive episode with GAD-like symptoms relented, thank god. After good times, when the pain arrives, I'm still startled and afraid. I've become hypervigilant to changes in my mood. Season changes are tricky. When the days shorten, I mourn the light, which is a little silly because this is largely habitual. I have a lightbox.
That said, I'm feeling ok which is amazing! There is the ongoing fatigue and fibromyalgia. Swimming and sunshine help. My medications are working and stable, so the angst level is down low, except when I think about the news. When I can, I take long vacations from current events. Any apocalypse will go on with or without me.
I'm glad babble is back, but I miss many of the old timers. Like you (CS), but maybe to a lesser degree, I'm lonely. Who knows about hell and back irl and can talk about it?
