My depression was so devastating that I suffered mentally and physically and have just started writing again this year. Something also happened to me December of 2016 in the blogosphere that made me want to give up on my blog and not even comment on other people's blogs. I took a tiny step back but kept on blogging. Now, I am feeling so much better.Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135194497307080856.post-9644922584328826172018-10-04T15:32:23.241-06:002018-10-04T15:32:23.241-06:00Welcome back.

Living the many years I have lived you think it would get easier. Sadly, it doesn't. Each day is like every other with little change and no highs in sight. Lows seem to overcome us. The mundane seems to be the norm. But remember one thing... there is ALWAYS LIGHT. Light to guide us in the right direction. Light to show us the way. Light comes in many forms.... our family, friends, loved ones....Even our pets. It is so hard to pull ourselves up. BUT we must. Gloom can't take over ... always remember the light. That has kept me going for these past few decades of my life. You are still a very young man. DON'T Give up... just take one step, one JOY at a time. It seems you have mustered up the courage to do just that. We ALL believe in you and your talent. Never forget that especially when you start to beat yourself up....<br /><br />Take care Sir David....Michael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135194497307080856.post-68821656659784588842018-09-05T21:22:39.813-06:002018-09-05T21:22:39.813-06:00Many times I've fallen into a "funk."...Many times I've fallen into a "funk."

It's funny, your post so closely mirrors why I've left. I'm still writing, I've gotten my teeth sunk in pretty deep on a very large project. The thing that has been helping me get back into this is the fact that I HAVE built my blog from nothing. I can now totally relate to why so few come to see me. I think I would have felt betrayed or disappointed if someone I followed took a long hiatus as I have, and you, without much explanation. So good luck to you on getting back into it! Just remember, the days you feel like blogging, you can schedule those posts. I think it might help you. :)Melissa Chesleyhttp://www.caledonialass.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135194497307080856.post-13678672906319376312018-09-05T14:37:50.909-06:002018-09-05T14:37:50.909-06:00I can relate very well with what you're saying...I can relate very well with what you're saying. I've been in a weird funk for a while, mostly due to family and life issues, but also just a general disillusionment with writing, blogging, and other things.<br /><br />Sounds like you're getting back on track so that's a good thing. Sometimes I think we all need to take a detour and if we don't voluntarily do so then life will find a way to throw us off track.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br /><a href="https://tossingitout.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out </a><br /><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135194497307080856.post-59208638511301542362018-09-05T14:35:55.709-06:002018-09-05T14:35:55.709-06:00Welcome back!!

I pretend I'm fully functioning and stable, but the truth is, I will make myself "busy" to escape the things I fear. I have found that distraction and obsession are good tonics for depression. The trick is finding positive things to focus on until I feel even-keeled. That feeling of panic at the thought of jumping back in? I totally understand that.
