HEY!

I was wondering if you had gotten bored with us!

[indigowombat]

Nah. :) Wanted to wait until I had my head on straight (well, straightER) before inflicting myself on you guys again.

Did you use SuperGlue, Gorilla Glue, or duct tape?

[indigowombat]

None of the above, I'm afraid... while getting the sucker pointed in the right direction as a baseline is important, there is still something to be said for a little freedom of motion. So industrial-strength adhesives seem to be contraindicated.

Well stated, Indy :)

Thanks. :)

Hey, I've been thinking of you lately, and well - I just wanted to say hi, how are you? Cause I've been wondering how you are. I hope all is going great! :D

Hi. :) I've been improving lately. After a couple of years of "convalescing", basically living as a shut-in and avoiding potential anxiety sources while regaining my strength, I've been starting to re-engage with people on a wider basis in the last couple of months. Some noticeable improvement is starting to emerge, although it's a bit rocky since I've started once again confronting sources of anxiety that I've been avoiding out of necessity for a while. But the net result is good.

Still somewhat phobic about LiveJournal and similar social media services, after feeling like I made such a mess of things last time. Confronting that anxiety source is on the list, but working on issues more directly related to my own overall well-being and that of family and extremely close friends, and my relationships with them, is still higher priority for now. Getting there, though. Practicing social outreach here and there, as I feel brave enough and strong enough to take the risk. Trying to pace myself on confronting that anxiety source.
