I'm back.

I'm back.  I probably wasn't even deactivated long enough for anyone to miss me except for one of my besties, but I needed the break.  I just felt like life was too much, and social media wasn't helping.  I get far too many notifications and truthfully my break from here was really peaceful.  I wanted to stay deactivated, but I couldn't get Shaun to join a nail polish group for me and my favorite brand is having a release tomorrow and I needed all the details.  So, here I am.

For my continued peace of mind I have made a few changes to my Facebook account.  First of all, I've muted quite a few Messenger conversations as well as deleted that app from my phone again.  I also deleted the Facebook app.  Additionally, no one can post on my timeline anymore.  If it was possible I'd turn off tagging and messaging, too, but I couldn't find a way.  To anyone who interacts with me:  I'm sorry about all of this, but there is just too much stuff incoming that I don't want or need.

I feel like I need to explain something real fast; I am bothered when notifications pile up, and when someone is talking to me I feel rude if I don't respond.  I know that this is social networking and the point is to be social, but I don't have it in me right now.  It's just creating more stress.  I'm taking my hermiting to the next level, it seems.  😕  It's really not intentional, but I am honest to goodness tapped out.  I know you all have the best intentions when you tag, message, or post something to me like nail art or cute animals, but those things are honest to goodness so far from anything I care about right now.  🙁

I know this comes off as so grumpy and rude, but I'm still struggling with my life and my mental health.  I don't feel much like myself, or who I thought I was.  I do feel less anxious now that the semester has ended, but that's about all I can say.  Of course, comments and conversations are always welcome (if you can forgive my delays with responding since I'm limiting my access here), but anything else is likely just an unwelcome distraction if I'm being perfectly honest.  🙁  I am so sorry to be this way, but setting limits here is the only way I can think of to keep myself from withdrawing completely.

Anyway, I hope you all are doing well.  I'm not entirely, but at least I am a little rested after being out of school for a few days.  I guess that counts for something.  Sending my grumpy love vibes to you all.  😛❤
