Slowing Down

[Dusty the Small]

I don't really want to write a novel about the reason I've been inactive lately, but I think you all deserve an explanation at least.

I believe I'm suffering from some pretty nasty depression, but there could be an underlying illness involved. The only thing I've been diagnosed with is anxiety, but I'm planning on going to see a professional to get to the bottom of all this nonsense. I've been having trouble getting motivated to do things, including attending class and keeping up with posts. It's put a strain on my relationships with people as well. So, I'm not leaving and I'll still be checking in, but feel free to skip my turn in threads for a while. We have the shoutbox to communicate in and of course I'll be around every day, at least once a day, unless my internet goes out again.

So don't worry about me. I'm going to be okay, I just have to get there. This isn't a goodbye. I'm just venting so everyone knows what's happening with me. Plus it feels good to complain a little every now and then

Hey Dusty. I hope you can get to the bottom of what's going on. Then you can work on feeling better. I can understand the need and want to slow down. I hope you can find your motivation again. How about we search together? Will that help?

Don't worry about venting. I think we all can understand that need too.

I am glad that you're not saying good bye.

See you around!
