Information about my situation... Mar 1, 2016 4:50:23 GMT

Post by tikker ♪ ♫ on Mar 1, 2016 4:50:23 GMT

Hello all,

I just wanted to give everyone some information and light as to what's been going on not only in my life but as to why I haven't been around as much as I used to. To basically start this off, I apologize to everyone, new and old, for everything that will be said here. This post will signify as to what's been going on, who I'm dropping, etc. skyy and her socks has already been notified so please don't badger me or her about what's going on.

To make an extremely long story short, I've been suffering from both depression and anxiety. I am currently in a constant state of anxiety, especially here, and depressed about a lot that's been going on personally with myself at home. I constantly feel as if no one wants me around and it severely upsets me as I'm the type of person that wants to help everyone and talk to everyone. This is the main thing, and thus, if I vanish during a conversation, trust me, it's not you. Due to this, my activity doing anything has slowed tremendously.

Secondly, I will be dropping quite a few characters and thus, the owners will be tagged here and a message sent out with another set of apologies. The following characters will be retired and if for some reason I get back my activity and constant muse and those adoptions are still available, I will pick them back up.

An updated list will be in my profile as to who is being kept as it keeps my numbers down and it allows me not to have so many things to reply to and all.

The last thing I need to address is my stress. I'm constantly stressed thanks to my main job as a correctional officer for the state of Texas. Every day I get stressed about something and then have to turn around and smile politely to customers at my second job of KFC. So yes, I do have two jobs to try and pay my bills and to be honest, that takes massive priority over CtS and anything online.

However, Skyy is currently in the process of going through my stuff and archiving anything from all characters I've dropped as of this point, and thus, if I owe anyone a post, I will seriously attempt to get it done on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday of this week as life is currently busy about now for the next day or so.

Once again, I apologize for my absence.

i am so sorry to hear about your struggles tikker, but the main thing is that you focus on yourself. i can't imagine your work as a correctional officer to be easy, and i admire you for that because i don't think it's something i could handle. if you ever want to vent, talk about things, or just have someone that will simply listen, i'm more than happy to be all ears. if you're like me, and prefer not to linger on those things, then i'm always more than happy for plain old chats to get your mind off things. <3 please don't hesitate to send me a pm or Skype message should you wish.

i want you to remember that you are always wanted, tikker. i mean that. i miss seeing your face in the c-box all the time (as much as i'm a lurk and don't participate a whole lot, i do notice, and it's appreciated). i hope you start to feel better, tikkie. remember that you'll always have friends here to lean on.

hallelujah

I second everything Lost said, and I want to reiterate that you are so loved. We all think you're great and having you around, when you're able, is fantastic. I'm so glad to have been your friend for so long and I'm glad you can stick around, even if you have to drop a couple characters in order to do so. As for your mental health, I encourage you very strongly to seek professional help. Finding a therapist was one of the best things I've ever done for myself; it's a decision I'm proud of making, and one that continuously rewards itself. Having a professional to talk to regarding matters like anxiety and depression is important. Feel free, of course, to speak to any one of us should you need or want to! We are here for you and appreciate having you around whenever you can be here with us. I hope you start to feel better soon, love!
