Hi all.
I'll try make this as concise as i can.
I, as some of you know, suffer from Anxiety, Depression and PTSD. It makes a lot of my writing hard to do, makes putting effort into anything difficult. It makes being a functional human a chore, not a way of being.
It comes and goes, ebbs and flows with my life. I don't wake up in the morning, happy, or sad. I wake up, i get out of bed, have a shower and look in the mirror and realise i am still here. One more day, one day longer than i thought i would be a year ago. I've tried to kill myself twice, come close to wanting to six times.
Not many of you care about this. This isn't about the fetish writing you know me for. There wont be much of that for a time, or there might be a massive influx. I cannot say.
The point of this journal update is to tell you, that I suffer these three fucking miserable mental disorders and am still here. Even when an hour ago, i had resolved to grab a knife and take my life. I didn't do it. I now am here an hour longer than i thought i would be an hour ago.
Things that are small to others are mountainous to me. Things that are big to people are life threatening to me.
I wanted to let you know that i might be inactive here for months or days or hours. However, i want to let you know that i will be back. Like i am now, like i was a year ago, like i will be.
I am not a strong person for this. This is not a grand revelation to turn my life around. I cannot do that an hour after my life was blindingly dark. Me, suffering, hurting and coming back isn't a grand announcement of mental and emotional fortitude. It's an acknowledgement of my weakness and a decision to move forward, no matter how much i know it's going to hurt tomorrow and the day after.
I want you all to know. That the fact that one person enjoying my work has changed me. I came from a point where i thought my existence was meaningless, to deciding if one person in the world were to like my work. Then i'd matter, now i have a hundred followers and every day someone new seems to favourite my work. I cannot tell you what kind of emotion that brings to being in me, just that it's the best one i've felt in recent memory.
Thank you everyone.
Goodbye.
I'll see you all when I am my all.
