Just a copy/paste from my tumblr (since I can't link to it from DA)

Just got back from one of my Doctor’s appointments for the week. Going to be trying to take on my health hardcore, so if I disappear for time I’m probably just focusing on recovery or just can’t focus or whatever. If I do post but I don’t respond to direct things, please know it’s not YOU. I probably just don’t have the energy to interact one-on-one at the time.

This might not be relevant at all, who knows. I just wanted to put it up just in case, because I know the last time I was ever on new stuff I was pretty dead lol.

Anyway they’re trying out some stuff to help me with pain, but apparently after some tests and questions, it’s been determined that my SA/GAD/PTSD have all actually gotten worse. They’ve diagnosed me with agoraphobia, and I’m getting treatment starting this evening for it. For those who are unfamiliar with what agoraphobia is, you can read about it here. The short version is it’s a severe anxiety (and in my cause, coupled with panic attacks) that leads the sufferer to fear being in positions that induce anxiety with complicated or no means of escape, or where the escape can lead to humiliation… such as public places, crowds, enclosures, etc. Guess this explains why I’m so terrified of social interaction and going out in public… possibly even why my perfectionism is so self-destructive. So maybe if I can get it under control my quality of life will go up immensely. That’s the hope, anyway.

So anyway, with that said; TL;DR: Just know if I seem apathetic or go MIA for a bit, it’s probably because of the meds. Still appreciate each of you who take the time to talk with me and all that! Even if I don’t have the energy to respond at the moment. And please please, do not fret about sending me notes and stuff about your problems and all! I still hold those offers open to each of you I’ve extended them to and for anyone who needs someone to hear them out!! Don’t worry about “adding to my depression” or anything because while I’m sad if I can’t help at all, I’m happy to know that you are aware you have someone to come to, ok? ;3;
