laura and robbie after the spicy ring sequence:

last january 21, i realized that i'd been in a terrible place for at least a week i had been trying to cope healthily and face my problems as soon as i had them, but despite my effort, i still had depressive symptoms. my effort only worked temporarily. it hurt. the moment i stopped to do simple daily responsibilities, especially when I was not with someone I was emotionally close with, i felt the loss of motivation from doing anything, apathy, or heaviness again. i swear I was trying my hardest, so I didn't know why i still had nightmares, woke up too early, and was hungry more frequently than normal. it felt like i was desperately gasping for air, but the air's too thin, i simply could not breathe. it was a suffocating loop, i was slowly losing hope that's when i realized that maybe i didn't have to handle it alone. if handling them by myself is not working, shouldn't it be a sign to ask for help? so i did i went to my university's office of counseling and then told my appointed counselor everything i was going through after the session, i immediately talked to everyone involved in my problems. i told them what i was struggling with and that i needed their help. they were compassionate and open about it 🥺

more than a month has passed, and i think i am now more mindful of my capacity to handle things on my own and braver in asking for help when i can't handle things alone :>

how about you? what's the bravest thing you've ever done? let's interact ^^

🥺👉👈 is it still being updated 👀

Oh hi!!!! Thank you so much for the compliment!!!!! <3 <3

Yes, it’s still being worked on and will be updated SOON (tm). In fact I was going to try to finish the next chapter today! I took a bit of a break over the holiday and new year but I really want to finish it up so I have more things in my ‘completed’ folder! V sorry for the delay but sometimes there’s a lil part of the story between two things I know will happen where I just can’t get it right u know?

For anyone curious failing forward is my current widofjord self indulgent FakeMarried fic! Feel free to ask me questions about this kind of thing anytime here or on my writing blog!
