There’s a very weird and fine line on the internet for me personally between sharing my thoughts like it’s social media and being a voice people look to for commentary and I never know what tone people are reading my posts in. I guess with that in mind I’m sorry I’m anxious/defeatist sometimes
Don't apologise. The whole... local/national/global deal is absolutely relentless right now. You're entirely justified in not being super chirpy all the time, and anyone who expects you to be is being either unrealistic or ignorant.
eh it’s still not *productive* to be defeatist or anxious over things that aren’t a certainty yet, and I have a big platform. I don’t want to freak people out when the real issue is that I have a mood disorder lol
my politics call for unkillable, joyous hope and love, but my heart isn’t really in it sometimes lately, and it’s unproductive, but I guess sometimes I just say stuff like I’m Posting
twitter resolved this ages ago by letting you just make a locked account for doing your Posts to an audience you trust will get them and I wish Bluesky would let you do the same
Frankly I have appreciated your posts. I admire your spirit, I love your art and writing, and honestly it feels a little less lonely when you share all of this.
what I’m saying here really is I apologize if I seem like a shitty downer, but I’m goin through it and I’m trying to get help
You are entirely forgiven for being anxious/defeatist. It sometimes seems like the only rational reaction. We’ll all keep trying.
Under the circumstances I think you could be forgiven for being More Than A Bit Blue™ Wishing you luck finding the help you deserve 💜
What on earth could you be going through? /s
This is the important part. Keep doing that.
"That" being the trying to get help, not the going through it.
my wife is incredibly helpful and I’m also trying to find a new doctor after my old one quit unexpectedly lol
unkillable hope doesn't mean it has to be perfect and unwavering, it's okay to have periods where you're down and it's okay to share your struggles if it helps you. You've got nothing to apologize for, seriously
The world is absolutely cooked rn so being sad about it isn’t a thing to apologize for
