an apology and a personal update by Jive

i have not been very active. mental illness has been really dogging me. not a lot i can do, it seems, but i'm trying to just... endure.

i have been feeling a bit more like drawing recently, so i will try to get to suggestions left for me in that journal/sent via notes. i didn't mean to make anyone feel ignored, i really appreciate every comment and message.

watching a lot of documentaries recently. feeling a little hopeless, but mostly angry. tired.
maybe art will give me an outlet.

    i know its a hard thing to absorb this kinda info but, you never need to be sorry for your illnesses taking their toll on your health. its not your fault as any as it is mine as someone who is also rather mentally ill, and i can relate on things wearing you down so thin and weak

    im not the most religious person but i keep you in my thoughts pretty often!

      i appreciate the comment a lot. although it's difficult to accept and internalize that it's okay to be tired and emotionally distant when i'm like this, it's nice to be reminded. i know that, intellectually, but guilt is a powerful motivator.

      hah, i'm not religious, either, but i often wonder how you're faring and hope you're doing okay, so the feeling's mutual.

        believe me i definitely am familiar with that awful guilt mental illness can give you. i feel terrible for not being able to give it my all 100% of the time, even though logically of course thats ridiculous. thats mental illness for you i guess

        thanks for the sentiments bud, i hope things smooth for you soon

    I've got Bipolar II Disorder (rapid cycling), I've got Dysthymia and chronic depression... if you ever need an understanding mind to listen to you, I'm the woman for the job. It's so damn hard to deal with our own minds sometimes, and it makes us feel alone, but we're never truly alone. There's always someone that cares for you, and always someone ready to help you when you need it <3
