Things, stuff, energy, people, blah.

Thought-provoking stuff I have read recently:
Repeating the obvious: energy levels, by redbird.
can we still be friends?, by the_siobhan.

Both posts explain thoughts & feelings I'm having at the moment, but in a much more coherent way than I'd've managed.

Also, someone called me tonight & suggested I should set up a "moan filter" on my lj, so people don't have to read it unless they want to. I'm loath to do that, because I only post friends-only if there's a need to (like, if I am already feeling afraid or attacked and need to know who can access the post), and I think it's useful to post publicly about health stuff, so other people who have got diagnosed with the same stuff can Google & find someone to talk to about it. However, if a lot of the "no one's reading my journal" feeling is coming from the fact that no one's reading it because they're sick of the moaning, or scared of the spikiness (have I really been that bad-tempered the past few weeks? I guess I must've been), I might have to.

Ah, it was friendly, not unpleasant :) I like getting phone calls at 2am from other people who are also awake. The problem with being awake at godawful am is that almost everyone you know in the same time zone is likely not to be, so it's difficult to find someone to talk to. Whereas I turn my mobile phone off if I'm asleep or otherwise unable to make calls, so people can ring me on that number anytime. And if it *is* 2am, I have free minutes & can call them back.

Anyway, as the owner of the comment has said, it wasn't meant as a proclamation "you SHOULD do this", but as a "here's an idea that might work...". And we talked about it, and he agreed with what I was saying. But I'm insecure enough at the moment to be wondering if I am in fact wrong. That was why I was asking, not because I was offended by the comment.
