I feel like I should apologize and keep apologizing. I'm falling behind on responding to the kind comments people have left and I'm certainly failing to write about anything. I'm behind on a bunch of my responsibilities and I have absolutely zero desire to deal with them. I recognize my anxiety is high, high, high and I am actually feeling a little depressed. I guess that should have been obvious to me, but its been awhile since I felt this particular flavor of sad.

I am doing things and working on setting my mental balance back to rights. But I will probably be a less than great friend this week and for a little while. I'm sorry. I'm working on getting back together.

No need to answer this. I'm sorry you're feeling poorly and hope things improve soon. *hug*

Take all the time you need and don't worry about us; we'll be here waiting for you. *hugs*

I don't think you should ever have to worry about responding to comments on LJ when something horrible and stressful has happened. Real life is quite enough to deal with, and people don't comment to get replies -- they just want you to know they are reading, and thinking of you.

Love and hugs, as always, dear.

Sometimes, I find just a generalized "thank you" post to be enough. Certainly people who know your situation well enough to post a comment will understand that. The thing about grief is how exhausting it is.

I mean. I almost made a kind of sort of maybe hiatus notice last night. I gave up because it was taking too long to phrase, but I think I was just trying to free myself from my own standard of participation for a while... I need to be using my time and focus differently. That's tough but it's not wrong. (Right?) <3 (I find it's so much easier for us to tell each other this stuff than ourselves.) If you have a regular doctor, have you called them? I mean, you know yourself, I imagine, and whether that's a place you need to go (yet), so no pressure, exactly, but it's the first thing I want to ask. You know.

...Oh, and I would hope this goes without saying, since I'm in a place where when I do get comments back on comments I leave for people they so quickly get buried in other emails I don't respond for...ever, at this point? but of course don't worry about that. Yeah. Mwah.

*hugs* Sometimes, you just need to put yourself first. Take care. You're in my thoughts.

(And this comment needs no reply!)
