So one of the reasons why I have been off for a while is 1) Winter vacation and I was in another country 2) My depression had spiked and so did my anxiety (Which are both now under control) and 3) Recently a close friend of mine died and I has been really hard on his family so I've been helping them and also going to the funeral and sad stuff like that. ANYHOW I don't want pity because this is just life. Happy new year
