Looping...

[catherineldf]

It has been brought to my attention, mostly by me, but also by kind and caring people in my life that I have been doing the thing that I do when things (in this case, my day job) go horribly awry and upset me a lot. As I get more stressed and more tired and unhappy, I tend to circle the wagons, which in this case means that there people I have not seen or spoken with in months and months. I'm trying to get out of this so if you've been wondering where the hell I've been, please drop me a line. It was nothing personal, honest. :-(

tangible pain

Oh, Catherine -- I'm sorry you're feeling fragile. It must have something to do with October, because two other LJ-pals are going through the same coping probs. It does seem like, after summer fades, some hopes we had in ourselves also dwindle.

But you have your new book coming out and a bunch of other projects moving along. Success, though, crowds in on us -- a commonplace thought, I know, but perspective is the key; what goes up SEEMS LIKE it must come down.

Not sure I'm helping, blathering on. But if you want to chat, feel free to email me privately -- devifemme11@rocketmail.com -- please do.

Hang in there! Justine

Thanks, sweetie! I appreciate that! :-D
It's less dire than it sounds - I'm just exhausted and stressed beyond belief and people were concerned that I didn't like them any more. You know how it goes.
Sending a big hug and wishes for an excellent week your way, too.
