soniaI went back through 9+ years of posts and added links and story! tags where appropriate. Happy browsing!
I went back one year at a time and then worked forward within the years. It was interesting to get an overview of what I've posted about. The interpersonal struggles are ongoing, but I don't even remember whom some of the older posts were about. I'm posting a lot less about my food and fragrance intolerances - my sense is that they've stabilized, even improved slightly, so they're not news. At the same time, I think I feel worse as an ongoing baseline, which is not ideal. Pain levels are mostly better, but digestive discomfort is worse, which feels more global.
I used to post more personal stuff visible to everyone rather than access-locked, and there used to be more folks commenting here. Those might be related, or it might be that there's been an overall drop in dreamwidth activity. Or both.
I keep thinking about making a sticky post about comments and access,and I keep not doing it (this works for now). I love getting comments! As long as they don't give advice or reinforce my self-judgments. Thinking about melannen's post How to Make Discussion Happen on DW, it isn't really my goal to host discussions, more to form friendships and offer mutual support. I worry that I complain too much, but there's got to be somewhere I can talk about what's hard.
Happy to give access to folks who can read and comment with kindness. Let me know if you're interested.
It's always access-change Amnesty Day around here. If you want to stop having access, I can take you back off, no questions asked. Likewise, I may change my reading/access list if I can't cope with something, with no implied judgments.
