Maybe I Can Manage This

wire_motherI really want to come back to DW/LJ-style personal blogging. Facebook is where the people are, so it's important for me to stay in contact there, but the platform has so many problems that I want to try to spend more of my internet-social time here. Well, it's a matter of re-developing the habit, so I have to actually start doing it.
The main thing to report about myself lately is that I have been having issues slipping back toward depression, including some of the worst and more dangerous aspects of that. In addition, I've been very tired all of the time. Today, for example, I woke up to my alarm, turned it off and slept another two hours. Then I read a couple of chapters in The Lord of the Rings, set it aside, started up my computer to do some writing, and found out that there was a new update for LibreOffice. I installed that, then put my computer aside and promptly fell asleep until 9pm. I think that I will just turn my alarms off for the next few days and work on getting myself back onto a regular schedule.
Speaking of writing, I have three current projects. This is a problem, actually, as I sometimes can't decide on which project to work any given day. In addition, I have another project that will contribute toward a couple of the projects that I have running, so maybe I should also spend some time working on that one. Unfortunately, that one doesn't have any direct benefits, and no clear ending point either. That makes it unattractive to spend time on right now. With my sleep schedule as disrupted as it is right now, too, I am finding myself without a lot of good writing time. So, I have to work that out somehow.
Anyway, not really asking for advice, just venting and working on getting myself actively onto this platform again. I hope that you are well.

I've looked at Discord, but it's yet another site to learn. People want me on Twitch, Discord, and who knows what all else. I might do Twitch because it's a better solution for the creators than YouTube at the moment (what with the crazy demonetizing over insane things), but I don't know what Discord offers that Skype doesn't, and I'm not really getting into the Skype groove.
