(And here's the video if you haven't seen it yet)
With the everyday things alone, I would probably be posting a bit more often. But when I'm in college or working, it's extremely difficult to do so even once a month (aside from my occasional "hey look at this" Facebook statuses that don't require much effort). Even so, I probably post a lot less than the average person. I know it doesn't matter, but it's hard not to feel anxious about keeping up, and I sometimes fear losing followers because I took a month to reply to my messages or couldn't keep a commitment to upload regularly.
Second reason for my absence: I'm adjusting to too many changes and my mental health has reached new depths of difficulty. I say "new depths" because it's not that I have suddenly declined and stayed that way, it's more that my "low points" have gotten even lower. I had a mental breakdown that led to me taking a semester off school, which isn't normal for me. I thought I'd get better over the summer (which I sort of did, gradually), but I had more mental freak-outs over seemingly small things, or for "no reason," and they were a lot scarier than my typical freak-outs.
As you can imagine, managing myself has taken up a lot of my time and energy, so I can't be as active in all areas as life without extreme caution. I do want to improve though, so I sought a diagnosis for OCD since I suspected for a long time that I had it. I just didn't think I needed a diagnosis--until I got a wake-up call from my increasingly distressed brain.
For now, I will do my best to at least post helpful videos, podcasts, and blog posts when I can. If you have any questions about mental health issues that you'd like me to address, please leave a comment.
