Adendum to coping mechanisms for SAD post

[wispfox]

Something I didn't mention, mostly because it had escaped my notice until earlier today. Just because you're out of the worst of it (in my case, since about the third week in Feb) does _not_ mean you can stop paying attention to signals relating to the season.

My random itchiness lately? Most likely due to not having had any non-effortful in-person interactions since March 20th. 10 days ago. I think it was me needing to find uppers of whatever sort that was causing the itchy brain. So if I've been more down than might seem reasonable, that's probably why.

Not to say that the things that have been bothering me are automatically invalid - that's not true. It's just why they've been on my mind so much, and more difficult to ignore if they are not something I can do anything about. I also suspect my inability to be social for more than 2 hours at the party last Saturday relates to this lack. Silly, me!

Not sure if I'll be able to address that problem before traveling this weekend. Which ought to be interesting, 'cause it'll mean my default state will be stupidly needy. Ah well. At least I'm aware again! And not stuck in "but it's _nice_ out and sunny and I should be done with this already" mode.

i might be able to get away with this wednesday or thursday for cuddling, if you like^.^ not sure how non-effortful i am at the moment, but i can be available.

Thursday, I won't be around. Weds night, I am... and your company would be greatly appreciated. It would be _better_ if I can go somewhere not my apartment for such, but you visiting is good. Thanks...

yay!

not sure what can be done about the apartment...but there are the happy pouches, and the happy stick of joy...etc etc^.^ we can make the apartment reasonably comfy, i think.

er, what can be done about wanting to be elsewhere, that is. *realizing that she just made suggestions about the apartment after saying that she didn't know what to do about it*

Yes, I hear that. Even though I've got most of the work done on getting over the depression, there is still some there. Good to hear that you are doing better.
