"Maybe I'm just faking my depression and I'm just a gloomy person naturally. Maybe this isn't a downswing."

[I realize I haven't showered in over a week]

"... Oh."

(Spoilers: It's a downswing.)

Related, I'm going to try and put in for a hiatus for this month and just explain that my mental health got bad enough I didn't even realise I was so bad off as I am.

Hiatuses in!

I think one of the reasons why this one hit so hard is I've been unable to take my afternoon meds for like a month now? I need to get more help taking them consistently in the daytime.

;; you should never have to explain your mental health for a hiatus omg 😭

I just want to be safe! I figure it's better to be safe than sorry, you know?

it's fine but. I can't speak for anyone else but I would never ever require anyone to "justify" that they need a hiatus

This is a relief! Especially if I have to put in for a hiatus suddenly and have no actual time to explain what's going on...

Of course! hopefully nothing that serious ever comes up for you but if it's easier to just send me a message in that instance, that's fine too.

This is good to know! And I think Avalon also allows others to put in hiatus for people, so if I end up in the hospital again with an infection or something I can pop on here long enough to be all 'eeeey lmao pls help me put in hiatus' for that game, too!

taking meds is a thing yeah

Yeaaaah. I've not been awake during the right time is one of the issues? So I've got to find a way to make sure I'm awake each day for it. I'm thinking of DLing a new clock app to use a different ringtone from my 'hey there's an appointment!' ringtone so that if I end up learning how to sleep through it (like I did for wakeup calls) I don't heck up++

my ability to actually get up before my 8AM infusion appointments, you know??
