so I've noticed that my recent journal entries have started to take on a whiney tone. "my job sucks, I hate my life, no one appreciates me" and so on. There's lots of reasons for this, the time of year definitely doesn't help - as well as being Christmas and New Year, it's also my birthday in ten days. A significant birthday. I'm feeling sorry for myself and I always do at this time of year. I'll snap out of it soon, well, in a couple of weeks anyway.

That's the major reason I've pulled back from [livejournal.com profile] _end_of_days at the moment. I don't want to quit at all, but I don't feel like I can give it my all right now. Again, I'll snap out of it soon - it always happens.

So apologies to all of you involved in that project, I posted to the Out Of Character journal last week to let you all know what's the what with my characters right now.

Give me two weeks and I'll be a whole new me again, for now? Maudlin. It's a great word, sums it up perfectly.

ach no, like I said, it's just the mood I'm in - it'll take a couple of weeks and I'll be fine again. Always happens, no matter what anyone does or says.

Don't feel bad.

I do feel bad though. I don't like seeing you like this, and I wish there was more that I could do. More that I could say.

just keep doing what you're doing, listening. Being there.

It does help.

And I'll be fine, honest.

*hugs* I worry about you is all, maybe too much at times. You know if there's anything I can do you just need to ask and I'll be there.

Dont be sad!

:: Pats you on arm ::

Do what I do, line all your personal demons up in ur head and poke them with a blunt stick until they get nasty bruises and go away and sulk.

I feel blue this time of year too. The joys of living in scotland during winter! Heh!

Feel better!

*pokes inner demons till they bleed....*

Hey, that works!

You might be suffering from a mild form of that Seasonal Affective Disorder thing. Might be an idea just to check out the symptoms (they're on the beeb)

Anyway, just think, time off work and New Year in a few days, and your birthday too (considers baking a cake for Sho, I don't think it'd survive the Royal Mail though *shrug*)

((((Shona))))

my birthday's not the best of days to be honest - a couple of bad memories attached to it. Not birthday related, just coincidence that they happened on that day.

Once I'm into January I'll be fine, it always gets me like this round about now, I just seem to be sharing the pain a bit wider than normal this year. Sorry.

And thanks!

**hugs**

this time of year just sucks doesn't it?

I've been feeling the same way and noticing the same thing about my journal.

what really makes it worse is all the expectation that everyone is going to be somehow joyful. It doesn't work that way. Religious significance aside, the 25th of December is just another day on the calendar - it can suck just as much as the other 364, sometimes more.

Maybe it is an SAD thing, maybe light therapy would work.

*hugs back*

Sorry thing have all been a bit crap. We understand. Need to have a bit of melancholy time sometimes.

Just hope you can get out of that bloody library soon. You're like a caged songbird in there.

thanks for being so understanding. I genuinly will be fine again soon - promise!
