Well it’s kind of a long story, but the cliffnotes version would probably be: i’ve been sick with the flu, and that made me depressed and I couldn’t think of anyone to talk to at that point except this one girl who said she’d be there for me and usually gave good advice and she said some insensitive things that just made me feel worse… it’s like people can’t stand to deal with me when I’m unhappy. I have Bipolar Disorder and Social Anxiety and it’s not as simple as some would think to just choose to be happy.
So idk if I can put my heart into anything and I feel like no one would care if I disappeared and only the sky would hold witness :/
Hope you’re able to come out of this funk soon. At the very least, maybe channel the negative feelings into a story or poem perhaps. Sorry to hear that the person you turned wound up being the wrong person.
I hope so too :/ I’m worried tho that if I were to channel those feelings into a story or poem, then I’d be writing depressing things for an indefinite amount of time and people would get sick of it.
Please please please please don’t leave! You are my number 1 favourite ficly writer! I could never get sick of anything you have produced! But if your decision is final, I’m sorry to hear it and I wish you all the best. You will find someone to turn to, just don’t let stupidity get you down!
I know the feeling your expressing, I understand exactly what your going through,but people will miss you on ficly. You’re an amazing writer, I adore your stories, I think you write extremely well and it would be a tradgedy if you decided to stop writing! You’ve got a real gift, whatever you do don’t throw it away! Ficly is a way to express emotion, maybe writing ficlets of whats going on will make you feel somewhat better. I know what your going through and sometimes I find its easier to let out all the feelings. I think that you will always have your adoring Ficly fans though. Like Tinkerbelle says you will find someone to turn to, I know at times it feels like you wont but you will! You gotta keep on believing, even when it feels like the whole world is ending. I love your stories, I can’t live without them! If you decide to quit Ficly, I am also sorry that you left but Good luck and get better! xxx
Thank you. I don’t think I will quit Ficly, but I try to read and comment on as many stories as I can and sometimes if I miss a lot it gets overwhelming.
It was/is all just a bunch of things that just make me really want to disappear.
I just joined ficly and have yet to write anything, but I think if you’re feeling like no one understands, write about it. I can’t believe how many stories I’ve read here so far that I can relate to.
Yes. However you feel, write about it. I used emotion like ink and who cares if you depress us. As long as it’s good, strong depression…go for it. It will make you feel better. =D hope you get better soon…don’t go… i think the comments show that everyone on ficly loves you!!! x
I have really appreciated your comments. And I hope that if you feel, for whatever reason, that you need to take a break that you will return. As the others have mentioned, writing about rough feelings can really help to ease them. Even if you don’t write them here, just write.
My muse of jealously and selfishness wants me to scream “No, don’t leave. What would I do without your stories?” But I know this is not the best for you, only for me. I hope you find what makes you happy, whether on ficly or anywhere else. I’m glad our paths crossed…your stories inspired me, made me laugh, and made me think. I hope it continues for a little while longer, but if not, then I leave you with this Irish blessing May the sun shine, all day long, everything go right, and nothing wrong. May those you love bring love back to you, and may all the wishes you wish come true!
Raegan, You are a good commentator and writer. You care for people otherwise why would you bother with your comments. They really need you to care about them. As you have noticed a lot care back.
I didn’t know that many people would care if I left. I try to comment whenever I can because I’d want the same.
It’s actually amazing to have a website with so many people that have never met, yet still care and care enough to comment or send notes. I really appreciate it.
Yes, being positive is hard when you’re down. But there is a saying: “Fake it ’til you make it.” Don’t buy into society’s crap about always saying what you feel. Sometimes, you have do do/say what you WANT to feel; to guide parts your brain to what you know is right, rather than be guided by them to what you know isn’t working for you.
I find you to be clever and insightful. It would be a big loss for Ficly to lose you, Raegan. Good luck, and don’t ever trust “Them”, especially what they say about “better places”. If it’s better elsewhere, then why are They here to tell you about there? To trick you into making more space for Them, that’s why. Stick with the good side.
