this is basically just my last post but a bit more in depth. i wanted to make a news update about this specifically a couple days ago, but I decided to wait in case it got better. i waited. it did not get better.


i am lost in every aspect possible. i decided that if I take a break on stressors and focus on the important things, i will be able to make my own path out of this mess and stop being so confused about everything. one of those stressors happens to be internet interaction. i know that simply taking a short break from the internet isn't really going to change anything major, but it is enough to stop myself from procrastonating further and start taking real action before things get even worse. for refrence, currently i can't tell if the way i talk in person and online is genuine or if this is all just a delusion and I am an entirely different entity from who i think i am, or who i say i am, or who everyone else says i am

this is a bit ironic, considering that it is supposed to be christmas time..

do not worry about me too much, i will do my best to survive. if you continue to worry, please see this as new lore about toggle's backstory that just dropped

i hope you have a wonderful christmas and a happy new year.


PS: if you decide to write a comment here, i won't look at it until january 2nd or so. i will look at it and most likely react to it, but it will be very late.

I think you should just take a rest.
Of course the way we talk in person and online is different. Anonymity, not having someone face to face, things like that, influence the way we express ourselves, for the better (being more open...) or the worst (harassment....)

Just know that if you feel overwhelmed/confused, then taking a rest and a pause is very important :)

Take care! :)

Well, first off, Happy New Year, ToggleDragon in the future!

Hopefully, separating yourself from the internet helped you to focus on your identity. I know of two other people I chat with who do that every couple of months to sort of detox from the 'The Online'. I had no access to internet until I was well into my teens, so I had plenty of time to develop a rather concrete identity that I am now too lazy to change. At best, I can metaphorically bite my tongue, but that's not so much becoming a different self as it is offering less of my current self.

"a bit ironic, considering that it is supposed to be christmas time.."

Actually, when dad was a therapist, he had to be on call 24/7 during the holidays because of how much stress the holidays created for people. If there was ever a time to step back and take a break for self care, this would be it. Good on you, TD.

As of you reading this, I will have worked on Christmas since I no longer have family to be with anymore. It wasn't "wonderful", but it was easy money. As a result, I am expecting someone else to experience a doubly wonderful Christmas to compensate for the lacking wonderment in my own. That's how it works, right? Maybe?
