Hidden Troubles

INTERMISSION

HELLOOOO lovely people! This is just a small little note. I'd like to say that Chapter 33 was the last chapter you guys will be getting until after my mocks :(( I've really got to get started on revision and that means no getting distracted by writing and going on hiatus. I should be back half way through January, although it might take a bit longer because I will be spending some time relaxing after that.

In addition to that, I'll need to get my mental health together, especially because holidays are pretty sucky for me and my mental health also goes to pot. I do have an eating disorder, and it's sort of why I decided to write a story like this- to come to terms with my own thoughts and feelings via a character I connect with a little (not in the "from another realm" way but more in the "I feel like a constant disappointment" way). I am currently in a recovery programme which is sort of why the chapters to come will be more about recovery.

And I'd also just like to say thank you. All of you for reading and commenting and you guys really don't know the amount of times I've smiled because I came online to see comments and votes and the most amazing surge in readers.

I'd like to wish you ALL a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Yuletide, Newtonmas and an even happier New Year! You've all made the final run of this decade so much better than it would've been if I hadn't written this story, and I can't wait to see you all in 2020!! Whether you have exams or not, remember to enjoy yourselves- it's the last Christmas of the decade!!- eat food, stay healthy and happy, take care of yourselves and enjoy this holiday! And if you live in a country with crappy weather to come (cough cough England), wrap up warm and don't get any pathogens. And if your country isn't bipolar, then please can I move in?

Anyway, I'm a master at the art of waffling so I'll stop here! Just... enjoy the rest of this decade, the rest of your life and afterlife and I'll see you all two or three weeks into the new year!!

There are a lot more but I can't really list them all- if there are any you wish for me to add comment whatever it is and I'll add it.

I have heard of HeadSpace is quite good for de stressing but I've never tried it and I don't think it's free.
