I feel like I do these way too often oop

Hi all, first up I'm really sorry for having been so slack on things on site lately. I would previously get some things done on my phone at work during lulls where possible but things with coworkers have made that extremely difficult (plus it's been so busy lol). I've been finally able to get to a decent psych so it's at once both helping but also quite overwhelming emotionally! More on that below (spoilered for sensitivity reasons).

So I got diagnosed with ADHD after I turned 30 but there's more to it than that, now it's looking like I might have BPD or something along those lines on top of it as well. It's kind of a lot to take in, and suddenly recontextualising 30-odd years of life and trying to reconcile with and unlearn deeply, deeply ingrained cognitive flaws is kind of a lot to deal with alone! I guess writing my silly witches has been therapy but I didn't even know just how much it was, cause now I'm looking at my characters and going "...oh". So, I apologise for, you know, everything in the leadup and now apologise for being more avoidant and short tempered than usual, lol.

But yes, my huge apologies to everyone I'm letting down atm (esp Zazz and Mia, I'm really sorry) and just ask for your patience at this time. I'm going to get lessons posted and get back in the saddle for Quidditch and try and muddle through everything else. I'm definitely going to keep going slowly for a bit though.
 
Don't apologise Camilla! That's a lot to take in! I'm glad you seem to be getting the help you want so that's a huge step forward (and yanno with how mental health is in this country lmao not funny) please reach out if you need anything! Quidditch is like the lowest thing on your list of priorities right now so it's not even an issue, HNZ is always here for you and we've had 20 years of this so I think it's safe to say we're still going to be here long after too. I hope things are able to pick up for you and that you can get into a headspace you're more comfortable with! <3 :hug:
 
Best wishes sorting through everything! Glad you have some support to help you with it all.
 
Hi Camilla, take all the time you need! You know where I am for a chat :wub:
 
Camilla take all the time you need! As someone with BPD I can relate to the fact that its a real struggle learning to unlearn the mechanisms that come from those survival techniques. But just keep pushing you got this and I’m personally always glad to see you (and your characters) around whenever so even if you go at it slowly I’m sure all of us are just happy to see you around! Best of luck and sending you loads of love and strength with the things you are dealing with! <3
 
You are not letting anyone down!! This sounds like it will be positive for you. Take all the time that you need and please be kind to yourself :hug:
 
Don't worry about letting anyone down, Camilla. I'm glad you're working on all these things and figuring things out. Take your time, we all understand!
 
No worries, Camilla! Glad you're getting the help you need, if anything. Taking care of yourself is the most important thing so try not to worry, just get to where you need to be. It's hard to be a person atm so you're doing great. Reach out if you need anything, or if you just want to vent.
