Seasonal Affective DLC

Slept from 2 to 7pm today, which I think makes it officially winter. I have depression year-round but I get a Seasonal Affective Disorder-style boost at the end of the year. I've jokingly referred to it as DLC for my depression that only unlocks in December, because at my core I am a gamer. Well, on good days I am. I was supposed to finish the 2nd episode of my new Let's Play series but I just didn't have it in me. I feel like I have almost entirely drained myself of creativity and I really need to pump the brakes. But I also can't stop, because if I stop I feel like I'm dead. It's not a fun spiral I've found myself in.

I need to try to slow down, at least. This week, I am going to finish the Barbuta playthrough, stream on Thursday, make progress on a song I need to finish before the 20th, and start work on the 3rd issue of Very Little News (which comes out on the 18th). Once I get past all of this, I'm taking the rest of the year off. Maybe a good chunk of January too.

I know I said earlier last month I would take a break then. But I mean it this time. I hope.
