Taking a Break

I've been thinking a lot...I need to take a break from keeping this blog. I could share what I'm going through ad infinitum, but that wasn't really what I wanted with this project. Instead, I wanted to give ideas for getting through this. But at this point...nothing I've done has helped ME get through it, so I feel entirely unqualified in trying to help anyone else get through it. All the strategies seem to stop working with a few weeks, and while I'm on meds now, and they've cut the worst out, all that means in practice is that I'm more stable. I'm less likely to break down and cry, I'm less likely to fall apart randomly, my brain isn't chugging on anxiety nearly as much, and I'm less likely to have suicidal thoughts. What it DOESN'T mean is that I feel any more optimistic about my outlook. I still feel like nothing I do really matters worth a damn. And while I feel that way, I can't think of anything that I might have to say to others that'll be of much use. Thanks for your help, ya'll, and I wish you best of luck with your own struggles!
