New year post
Friday, January 2nd, 2026 11:01 am Going to try to start using this place more in 2026, hopefully I'll be able to keep up with it 🙏
Sorry if this post winds up being a bit personal and depressing, I just haven't had much good in my head for a while and rather than trying to pretend through it I'm just going to ride it out and be honest about how I'm feeling. Given how the past few years have gone I wasn't sure I wanted to make it to 2026, but I'm here anyway and I'm trying my best to get through it. I've been struggling with personal issues and extremely severe PMDD that literally takes over my whole brain for half the month, leaving me exhausted, isolated, and suicidal. It takes so much out of me that the 2 weeks I do feel better are mostly spent trying to get back on my feet - and by the time I do, the whole process starts back over again. I'm at a really low moment right now. I've tried to seek out medical help, but doctors haven't been responsive and don't seem to know what to do to help.
I'm getting married this year, and I really want to be more excited for it. Right now, I'm just trying to survive day to day. I really, desperately want this to be a good year, it's just so hard to feel like that's even possible at the moment.
I do want to try to get back to writing soon, and hang out with people more. I'm trying to be as optimistic as I can through everything, it's just been an incredibly difficult few years. Here's hoping 2026 is better, or that I can at least make it through this year too.
