Well, it's Monday again...

Hello @Former-Member, @PeppiPatty, @BlueBay, @Strugglingmum, @CherryBomb, @Shaz51, @Appleblossom, @Angels333, @NikNik and anyone else I missed.

Well, Monday is here again & the beautiful weather continues around me. I hope everyone had a good weekend without too many up & downs. I know a few of you have a lot of things coming up over the next few days & hope it all goes well.

So how is everyone going today?

For me, I don't know really. Since yesterday I feel myself slipping down a little. The energy & motivations I've been experiencing over the last few weeks seem to be ebbing. I've got a few things I have to do over the next few days and I really don't feel up to facing them. I find I'm even putting simple things off over the last few days, and getting frustrated easily. Hopefully this is only a short term thing and will pass.

I always fear slipping into one of my depressive episodes. They seem to last so long & be so hard to get on top of. I just disconnect from the world. And once I do re-connect I just never know how to approach people, both in real life & online, that I had been in contact with. Last time it happened I disappeared from social media, forums & other online activities for more than 12 months. I only got back on Facebook at the end of January and only re-activated my Twitter today!

I've been in contact with more family & friends online in the last month than I have ever been. Even when I used to be online before I would hide my presence, not letting most people know I was there. This time I haven't held back at all and I really don't want to lose that again. Am I worrying needlessly? Is it just a 'normal' down time? I have no idea.

Sorry all, this post is beginning to look like me just getting my thoughts out there.

But I am really interested to know how everyone is going today. Hopefully there will be a few good news stories around to help lift my mood.

As always, take care, stay safe.
