Hello my sunshine friends!

I've been having a rough time lately.

Seasonal depression is draining my energy, causing my joints to hurt, causing me constant headaches, causing me constant negative moods.

I've been getting in hurtful arguments with my mother and brother.

My return to the university has been an endless struggle. One failed assignment, one late assignment, five chapters behind, one assignment due soon that I haven't started, one presentation due soon that I haven't started.

I'm behind on important calls. One doctor call, two university calls, one volunteering call.

I've fallen to one knee and barely holding my ground. I feel like such a sad panda :(

How have you been lately my friend? Hopefully better than me <3

I've been doing about the same as you - a little better here, a little worse there.

@PhoenixPhail I'm sorry you've been having troubles. I wish I could help you :(

@RIPKAW Thank you. I'm trying to get my meds adjusted. Hopefully, one day, I won't need any.

@PhoenixPhail oh trust me, my past medical record is extensive. I feel for your pain my friend. I think I will always need them sadly.

I believe you will get the combination and dosage some day. You will be happy with or without them soon too. I believe!

@RIPKAW Thank you. I think I may not need them one day.
But I have a physical injury which makes me feel anxious and nauseated, which is what I need the meds for. If I didn't have the injury, I wouldn't need them. Unfortunately, the injury can't be repaired.

@PhoenixPhail oh...I'm sorry 😔 that sounds terrible. I will keep you in my thoughts.

My issue is mental, I've had it since I was six years old. It won't ever get better, but I've finally come to terms with it

@RIPKAW Thank you. That's very kind of you.

I'm glad you've come to terms with your condition.
I will keep you in my thoughts, too. 🙏

@PhoenixPhail I truly appreciate that! I'm here if you ever need a friend to talk to :)

@RIPKAW Thank you so much. Likewise.
