Well, this feels even more awkward

Where have I been since September 2023? My friending binge last fall took place while I was simultaneously experiencing a hypomanic episode AND my first and so far only case of covid. Weakened impulse control plus major stressors = uncharacteristic behaviour by me. My family all survived the covid, I flew home to my partner and familiar surroundings, and after that I had a major depressive drop.

But now it's spring! Hello mood lift!

After the functional equivalent of four months of cold sleep, my brain has come back online and I am shovelling away at many many abandoned tasks.

I much appreciate all you lovely people who left me welcome comments. I'm going to push back against the embarrassment and answer them now.

Glad you're feeling better!

Thank you! Anhedonia sucks; I am giddy with delight that I can be delighted by the world again.
