green_dreamsSo, it's November, and the knitting project I am working on is at the point where there's just the finishing left. (You know what that's like, right? When you need to sit down with needle and yarn and weave all the loose stuff in and it takes forever and it's not knitting anyway, dammit, it's...)
(You know.)
I was trying to figure out if I was up for knitting something (with minimal finishing) for savesnowssanity. 'cause lately with my free time I've been doing things I like doing, but I've been doing so many of them that I start to get bitter about not having time off, any time off, and that shit I do not need right now TYVM. Really.
So I went to take another look at the post where I first heard about the comm, and I went from there to reading the entries on her lycanthropy tag. Which I recommend if you are looking for an articulate explanation of mental health, hers, and coping or not works, and how... Dammit.
Sometimes I want to scream.
Sometimes I wonder what the point of writing is, when people are so good at not getting other people, and isn't writing basically an attempt to communicate?
(Related to that: no, I have no idea if I'm doing NaNoWriMo. I suspect not, but...)

Do not envy this. This is not something that adds color and depth to my life at the price of a little theatrical pain. This bear stands a very real chance of ripping my arms off.I am having a good day. I think I am even having an okay week. But s'help me god, there are days I want that engraved in reverse on the end of a sledgehammer. And I remember the girl I knew who wouldn't take her meds on the weekend because she wanted to be able to party, and all the people who claim they're crazy too, and the "well if you can't deal with feeling sad without taking a pill" attitude to depression and the people who define suicide primarily as selfish and--
