An Absence

So here is the thing about having a mental health issue....sometimes you have to step back to address it and take care of it. Sometimes, you lose interest in things that used to make you happy. Sometimes you feel like your creativity has been sucked out of you. Sometimes you just need a break.

That's what happened. I love this blog. I love that it is my outlet. But, this blog will never be updated on a regular, predictable basis and I am okay with that. I can't imagine people are actually out there waiting on these posts anyway. This is more for me. 

Take the time to self care. Address those negative situations and face your mental health head on. You will feel better when you come out on the other side.

Fall is my favorite time of year. I am excited that the holiday season is just around the corner and I am looking forward to all of the social functions it brings. My anxiety has not yet started to whisper in my ear about how much I am going to suck at these functions, and I am hoping that it stays quiet. This will be my first holiday season on the medication regime that I am on, and my fingers are crossed that this is the magic combination that quiets my storm. So far it has been helpful with anxiety and depression. I still have off days but I think that is normal. 

Are you looking forward to the holiday season? Do you ever "disappear" to self care?
