Re the book, we have a draft manuscript we're sending out to agents/publishers now. From what we've heard/read it looks to be a long process. The book team are having a meeting this Sunday and I think we're going to talk about a drop dead date. By that I mean if we haven't been picked up by XXXX we will likely move into self-publishing. More to come!

Mmm, publishers, nothing reminds me of an abusive relationship more than a publishing deal! I did 15 plus years in mainstream publishing and I can tell that indie slef publishing is the way... IF and it's a big if, you can get your head around the marketing. Feel free to message me if you need a bit of the indie advice.

Reaching out is helpful if you're feeling lonely Ran.  Do you have a therapist who can also help you work on this?

Not right now. Only person I've talked to about it all is an helpline person. I have psychiatrist appointment coming up on the 22nd of December, where I'll try to get referred to a psychologist or something as I have no funds for therapy on my own.

Well done for being brave enough to start a journal and keep posting in spite of your fears.

I'm sorry you're struggling right now with migraine and EF. I think this time of year is tough for many of us, but of course we have no control over when the dreaded EF strikes. I've also started noticing that a long EF can rise and fall a bit. So just when I think it might have gone because I feel great one morning I realise it is actually lurking under the surface and it takes very little to ramp it up again. Your comment about what your therapist would say to you resonates with me, because I am sure my increased awareness is also a sign of healing. Doesn't make it easier to weather, though.

Things can be like a cycle for everyone, not just our community. I think the internet has been wonderful in recent years for giving us places where we can engage when we need/want to and can pull back a little if we need a break.

It's definetly true. I don't remember having such needyness before. Now people are available for you 24/7 thanks to online enviroments. I was needy, but not in this level. I've been feeling void inside too.

But trauma doesn't separate things neatly.

Yeah it makes things into a blurry mess.

Went back to one server where left a bit due to feeling overwhelmed with bunch of new people. It was nice to be back and chat as I was feeling lonely. I chatted a lot and told them.
It's usually like I'm lonely, chat, feel lonely agan, no energy, want to chat. It's a cycle.
