My annual August internet detox has failed miserably, so I'm going to try it again in October when I'm full of post-holiday good intentions. Hmph. Anyway it's soon September and I'll try and fit in as much blogging stuff as time allows.
I'm still battling anxiety and depression. There, I said it, and I'm trying to do something about it. Whilst I am completely honest, open and upfront about what's wrong with me - something which I have struggled with for almost 15 years - why do others have such a problem with it? Let's just sweep it under the carpet. After all, when you have the ongoing Groundhog Day bore-a-thon of the Ice Bucket Challenge and the daily Facebook obsessions, then why bother with someone who does not share your interests and quite frankly, just doesn't give a flying f**k?? Try independence of thought sometime. You might like it.
No offence to those who have actually done the Ice Bucket Challenge, and all the money it has raised for charity. Some of the video clips are admittedly funny, but it's just not for me. The most annoying thing about this well-meaning but egotistical exercise is the peer-pressure placed on those with a mind of their own, who choose not to join Facebook and/or participate in this daily nightmare without end.
"Who hasn't done it yet??" It's like a revival of school bullying, reinvented for adult life. If you don't do it, there must be something wrong with you. Don't you like a laugh? Well yes, I do as it happens, but as the saying goes, are we not at "peak bucket" yet? And in a summer where I completely unravelled and found myself in a very dark place, getting someone to throw a bucket of water over me is the least of my worries. Get a life, people.
It is just over two weeks until I go on holiday: now there is something which fills me with excitement.
