RE: Can we get a definitive list of the top 100 human commentators on the Steem blockchain in 2018?
Thanks.
It's true, I've been quite a busy bee during the first months of the year, lol.
I'm using the laptop every once in a while, but it's still not very convenient. Although my back is slowly getting better (started physiotherapy yesterday), it appears I'm now suffering from Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction, caused by the fact that I have been using the wrong body poses to avoid my back pain for so long. Pffft, it's almost as painful as the hernia itself :0(
Not finding the energy is more of a mental issue. Not only am I so sick and tired of being tied to my bed for so long, I also have a cat that is terminal ill, which is a heavy load for me to carry.
I was diagnosed with depression last December, and although I've come a long way, I can still feel it crawling under my skin. The 'escape into SteemIt' strategy doesn't seem to work as well as it did a couple of months ago.
And of course, probably the most important factor of all when it comes to energy and inspiration, is that I went cold turkey after years of being an amphetamine addict. Using it, you have all the energy and inspiration you need, even more than you can handle in a day, lol.
So I guess you can say I was using doping during those first months. If Steeming was a sport, I would probably be disqualified, hahaha...
And I can totally understand how the heat can affect your thoughts. We're like melting here. For weeks it has been too hot to even move, lol.
Reading other people's comments, it seems to be a worldwide phenomenon...
It does seem like it's been warm all over, except maybe in the southern hemisphere. Haven't seen any of the Australians complaining about the winter heat wave. :)
Wow. Cold turkey. That's amazing. I hope you're feeling better for it, though, even though there's other things that aren't that great going on. It seems like life can be that way. It compounds before it relents. I wish you well, though, with kicking the habit.
I think there's at least enough marijuana smoking going on that the rules for doping on Steemit would be somewhat lax. :)
Okay, so this SPD is totally completely unfair! So, is the physiotherapy for that? The hernia? Both?
I'm sorry about your cat. I know they can mean a lot, just like family. My sister has had a couple of cats and it's never been easy for her when they pass away. I think she's found some comfort in knowing they're no longer suffering, though. That doesn't mean she doesn't miss them, of course.
Well, dang it, things just need to improve for you. It's been enough. Tell whoever I said so. :)
I will!
Thanks for being you: you are always so understanding. I really appreciate that!
The physiotherapy is originally for the hernia, but it will be beneficial for the SPD too. At least, I hope it will be.
The only positive thing is that the chance that things will get even worse gets pretty small. Except for the cat. We just decided to let him go tomorrow. It is time... I don't want him to get worse, only because I'm too selfish to not want to give up on him. It's one of the most difficult decisions I ever had to make, but there is no way to escape from it. 😭
Just for the record: it appears to be 30° in South-Africa, even though it is winter over there. The planet is really going crazy.
