Hello everyone, Clockwork here.
I am still holding strong and keeping my mental health in check. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being amazing and one being bedridden with ennui, right now I straddle between 6 and 8.
I have begun working on that aforementioned Clockwork lore fic/ponyfied "Loki". I expect chapter 1 to be finished and uploaded by Friday.
Expect Starlight Glimmer as the main protagonist in lieu of Loki!
Stay kind and stay curious.
Good for you!
Hope you can craft something really intriguing.
We all have our days, just always remember that you're wanted!

Aww. Thanks.

Totally welcome!
Hope your enjoying your time regaining your mental fortitude. Depression is something that can drag you down so low if you allow such things. But knowing you are pushing forward, makes me smile so much!

I've been dealing with the double whammy of generalized anxiety disorder and depression since I was five. Yes, five years old. I had severe agoraphobia as a kid (I don't anymore).
Sometimes they're easier to manage, and other times both conditions are hell.

Awww, you poor thing. I know how that can feel, I deal with social anxiety and sometimes with body image problems. I see myself as oversized sometimes. We carry those problems and woes with us. They follow like unwanted shadows, but even on the worse days we just need to calm our minds and try pushing ahead.
If you have super bad days, let me know. I'll happily help keeping you from falling.

pro tip:
Shut down the central nervous system entirely by using the "logic" part of your brain.
I play chess (1500ish elo) and while I am thinking across the board, my brain's limbic functions don't have bandwidth to be anxious or depressed.
Do something "logic" to override the brain.

Huh? That actually does sound very unique as a way to deal with stress the world provides in waves it seems. I'll have to give something like that a try, I do enjoy logic puzzk, tho I'm nowhere near a pro at it.
I always thought chess was interesting actually.
