Because of a number of things both within and beyond the boundaries of my control, I'm susceptible to poor mental health.

I need to watch myself better. This time of the year can be brutal, and I don't want to fall into a trap.

Potentially, this year could end on a specific, amazing note. It could also end tragically, for me, or both me and my family.

A lot is going on that could easily spell the end of me. I need to stick close to whom, what, and where I might remain safe with and at. Call it a "safe space", if you want. That term isn't inherently faulty.

I'm the sort of person who could easily end up hospitalized, or possibly dead. I'm a very vulnerable individual. I need to stick to what most makes me feel at home, and ignore the scrutiny of people who misunderstand my means to peace.

I'm grateful to know several people both online and offline, and for the sake of my health, I would seek their council, if at all I find myself incapable of remaining stable on my own.
