Hey...everybody....umm, it's been a while, huh? I...I really don't know where to start with this.....but I feel the need to explain a few things to you all, and I kinda need to vent a little. (just warning you, this might be long) So....for starters, the reason why I haven't been posting anything......if you all allow me to be blunt for a moment.....I feel like sh*t. I have been having a very hard time recently, (not that many of my friends know because I just can't get myself to tell them), and I just can't find the motivation to write....at least not a lot..... I'm doing what I usually end up doing when I'm in my depressive periods, distract myself. I have never quite learned how to deal with emotions in a good way, both negative and positive. I've always tried to distract myself or find a quick outlet, which in terms of negative emotions is usually crying or listening to music (either happy or sad depending on how I feel), and with positive emotions, I usually end up doing either kinda normal things like singing and playing games, or weirder ones like walking around my house screaming random nonsense (though only if I'm home alone). And sometimes.....I don't have anything to distract me from my depression, and when that happens I just lay in my bed and do nothing (though sometimes I cry a bit).

But one thing that I sometimes do to deal with my depression, or more accurately, the feeling of emptiness I feel, is to put myself through angst stuff about fictional characters I like. Because somehow, especially if I just recently got into that fandom, angst fanfics or videos make me feel like my stomach is in knots, but at least I feel SOMETHING. It's like an uncomfortable feeling that I like because at least it's something. Though, I've come to realize that maybe it's not healthy to chase after something that makes me feel bad just to get rid of the empty feeling. It doesn't even matter in the long run, because after just a few days, that uncomfortable feeling stops showing up, and then I'm back at square one. However, I don't know what else to do, and actually FEELING something for once feels worth it. I actually FEEL the knots in my stomach. Unlike basically every other emotion that I nowadays only know in my head. I don't actually FEEL them in my body, but my brain knows I'm feeling them and reacts aqordingly. So yeah.....I'm.....not doing too good, which is why I haven't been posting anything lately. Hope you all are having a better time than I am. Blaze out...
