Well, today I had another doctor's appointment, one I was particularly expecting, since it was with a psychiatrist and the whole consult was made with the intention of removing the current medicine I'm taking for the fibromyalgia; it's not currently being used anymore for the condition so there's no reason for me to keep on taking it, but since it's a psychic medicine, it has to be removed by steps and with guidance.
But as I was expecting, the consult became much more than just dealing with that pill, and my current emotional state became very obvious; I'm having one of my baddest days, a kind of day where I just can't stand myself, and when I'm going through a hard one like this, I just can't put a smile on my face anymore, I just can't tell myself to be strong and to keep on trying, and I become so transparent, that my pain speaks for me instead of my mind.
The doc began to dig in, and by the end of the consult, I left with a diagnose of anxiety,and with the green light to change the med. Apparently my level of anxiety is way high, enough to make me tense, and in turn, gives me more pain, which keeps on raising the level of anxiety; an unending loop.

If anything, all of this just tells me it's about time I start taking more care of myself, REAL care which translates into loving myself more, the one thing that I always had a hard time doing; so it's in this moment of my life where I need to focus on myself more than ever, and concentrate more than ever in those few who have an equal relationship with me; I've given my all my whole life, more than once being deceived; now I need to get something from those who will do the same for me and taking a step away from the ones that hurt me, and in this particular moment, even the people I love the most can hurt me very easily, mostly since I'm always running behind the people I care for, even if they don't run next to me, and it's about time I stop that; either try to help me run with you, or just leave me behind completely, but don't hold my hand just for a little while, to then run away on your own while I wait to get your hand whenever you decide to come see how I'm holding on my own. Since I'm very much alone here in Barcelona with the only exception of my husband, I'm extremely vulnerable and fear will make me turn away at the first sign of me feeling like a pet you play with out of sympathy.

I must get out of this hole I'm in, which turned out to be deeper than I thought. It has become clear for me, after this appointment, that I'm trying too hard on everything without accomplishing a thing, and I just can't keep on doing that, not when the anxiety is so evident to others but not me. I'm not gonna leave DA or anything of the sort, if anything I want to focus on my art and commissions more than ever, but that means dedicating the little good time I have to that and only that, that's why (some of you might already notice it happening) I go completely silent, and that habit I hold so dear of going through the comments to chat with you all becomes something I just can't do right now; my time on the computer becomes each day more and more reduced because how much it hurts my eyes and spine, so all the social aspect of the computer has suffered as well as the one in real life did.

I always read your comments and that will never change Q 3 Q but from now on, I might get back to you or not, and when I do get back to you I might most certainly do it late, but if you do really know me, you should already now how it is :icononionloveplz: You know I value each comment and each favorite, and that's never changing Cx

Thank you for reading, and you bet we'll be seeing each other :dummy:

OTL I feel so horrible for not being able to stay by your side all the time. It gets harder to accept the distance between each other every new day knowing that you feel like this. I think of you a lot and I feel so helpless not knowing what to do. As if somebody cut off both my hands and my legs. I just want to smash my head against the desk and force myself to think of a solution to make you happy every day. Time has rushed by so much lately, I am in terrible delay with my job searching and I tend to loose track of my work to much, but it all doesn't matter because I especially hate it since I fail to manage treating all my friends equally these days. But I do not dare to compare my problems with yours, since you always had it much harder in life. I always respected and worshiped you for your straingh and resistance, even when I knew how you really felt and yet I can't work myself up to be a better support for you. I feel guilty being such a disappointment as a friend...
But I see how much you enjoy your art that just becomes better every time and I know you are not so active around DA to much... is there still a way I can contact you without bothering you the same time? Because I really do not know what to do... please tell me, or do you like to spend more time with Anett maybe? If so that's totally okay for me, I do not want to interrupt you two to much. Since you two have the same condition and probably more to talk about, so I do not want to bother with my nonsense smalltalk.

But always know how much I love you my dear! I will find me a job and save money again and then I will visit you!! No matter if it is spring, summer, autumn or winter!! We will hang out together, I am going to cook for you, or we order pizza and we can watch the new season of Once uppon a time! And if you like, we can lay in bed and I tell you stories or draw something for you with pen and paper!:heart::heart:
This is how it is and how it will always be, my love for you is endless and will never wear out.
