Hey everyone! Brian here! I do apologize for being away for so long. A month or so back, this site got really toxic and I needed to step back and let go of that negative energy. Sometimes, we all have to do that. Just step back, breathe and decompress. Sometimes, it's hard to remember that this is, after all, a social website where everyone is dealing with depression or anxiety in varying degrees. Some just need a pep talk. Others are in dire need of some good ol' fashioned TLC and reassurance. I've tried to help where I can, be a shoulder to lean on or just a friendly ear people can bend. On those rare occasions when I've had to step up and defend someone, I've done so without hesitation. But sometimes, even I need to recharge my batteries and make sure my own mental health is taken care of. No one is Superman/woman, no matter how much they try to be. We're human. We slip up, make mistakes, and most certainly are not perfect. I plan on being away for another week or so, just to make sure I'm all good and to wait to see if Spring finally springs! (Damn, I hate snow! lol) To all who have wondered where I've gone, well, I'm still here lol. For those who don't know me, my name is Brian and I suffer from depression and severe social anxiety. I am who I am, and that's good enough
Your friend,
Brian
PS. I was in a whimsical mood yesterday and this song started playing and put me in a wonderful mood. I share it in the hopes that it does the same for everyone who needs a little pick-me-up
