I've been in a low place. I started to read Woman Hating by Andrea Dworkin, and I couldn't process what was written on the book jacket cover, the friggin book jacket, and I started to cry. I'll take the pain, I'll take the fatigue from hell, and I'll take all the weird symptoms, but I can't handle not being able to read.
I've only been blogging since mid February of this year, so it's just amazing to me that I've already found a community of bloggers I care so much about, and who, when I'm in trouble, show up and give heartfelt support and encouragement. I read your comments and emails and started to cry, in a good way. Just thinking about your response gets me weepy, because I am so touched by your kindness.
Finding the best way to deal with these problems may take some time, so I’m focusing on learning how to be productive in spite of them. I've been reading your blogs and even commenting some. I hope to start posting somewhat regularly, but frankly, I'm a little worried about putting up posts or comments that are literally nonsense. I hope someone will tell me if I do that!
Bah, this post was supposed to be about all of you, and it ended up being me me me. I'm very annoying that way when I don't feel well.
So really, thank you so much for all of your support. It means so much to me, and it helps more than I can say.

Just work on feeling better.
But don't think you can get away without the Monday Bunny Blogging. I need a weekly dose of Bumble!
Happy birthday. I hope your day is distraction-free, peaceful, and serene. :)
For the record, I am fluent in nonsense.
Don't worry about blogging nonsense posts. I do it all the time!
Hug.
"Bah, this post was supposed to be about all of you, and it ended up being me me me. I'm very annoying that way when I don't feel well."
the trust to show ourselves at our most disorganized, or most self-centered...(i do this too...) still says a lot about the people who are there listening. I remember going on one all about me rant that made about no sense whatsoever in the middle of a panic attack. my friend sat there for the whole thing, and when i realized what i'd just put her through...she stops me from apologizing, and says: as long as you were talking, i knew you were okay.
I cried.
Anyhow. I'm not trying to be tear inducing...i'm trying to say that it's been really good to be a reader here.
There are some bloggers who find it impossible at times to blog due to their medical conditions - and some whose blogs reflect their medical conditions - and this space is shared by bloggers with impairments, who know what it is like. Anything, anytime, it is for you, and reflects who what and where YOU are. This is the place where you do not have to worry about that. Be what you need to be when you need to be it. One word is enough; whether it is "Hi" or "Help".
*hug*
I completely understand where you're coming from. I had a bit of a shitty head day yesterday... I half dosed on my meds (stupid hexy!) then went and ate a bunch of sugar (stupider hexy!). I was trying to explain something to R and the words just wouldn't come out right... and then they wouldn't stop coming out. It's horrible to lose track of your language, especially when it's so important to you.
Just concentrate on getting through this. We miss your posts, but we're all thinking about you and hoping you'll be well again soon. Go SpottedE!
And yeah, I totally know what you mean about this community being so welcoming so quickly. *smile* You're a big part of that for me, so I want to know you're OK!
Take your time SE, we'll be waiting for you when you come back. In the meantime, please take care of yourself.
OH, and Happy Birthday To You!!!
Oops, I'm late to this post. Everybody else has said everything I would have said. But really, don't worry about posting nonsense. After all, I do it at least once a day and people seem to enjoy it. I blame the dumbing down of America. ;-)
Get better soon.
That Elephant picture and your words -- I kid you not, I'm getting all watery-eyed! :)
Big ol trunk hug to you and That Bumble!
