So are apologies, if I happened to offend or irritate. I seem pretty good at that these days, although I never thought I would be like that.
I don't know about others here, but when both my depression and anxieties kick in together, it really does a number on me and makes my life hell through and through. I have also been under pretty extreme stresses recently due to a personal matter. All told, I have been barely hanging on. However, the DU has proven once again that, despite our own differences and lifestyles, we do come together for each other at the drop of a hat. I am always terrified of taking advantage of such generosity, because I have had people offer to help me before, produce said help with many admonitions that this was a 'gift' and in the 'spirit of friendship' only to then start holding it over my head and demanding all kinds of concessions that were never even heard of when they offered to help.
So, I am sorry to those I might have offended and to those who tried to be positive only to be met with a barrage of negativity. (When I get in that mindset, there is no consolation and no way to change it. It just has to change on its own.)
