I’m feeling guilty about not writing anything for a while. I did try – last week I made the decison to write through a panic attack in the hope of dissecting it – but there are too many distractions. Everything hurts.
I’m angry and tired. Every day seems to bring new problems and pains. I’ve never felt this ineffective before.

No worries. You’ll write when you’re inspired. You’ve written tons of amazing posts with Blog Stats to prove how many people enjoy your writing.
I live an anxious life. I’m always worried about something, so it’s difficult to say when and if I panic. The reason I started meditating is to tell my mind to “shut up.” It does work.

you are not alone. I use to be able to do so much and now the pain has caused me to feel totally inadequate. I am still searching for answers. I refuse to give up although at times my body gives up.

Ugh, I feel your pain! I’ve been in a flare for quite a few days now and I haven’t been able to get anything done. Clean my house, go out and get stuff done, do art, pretty much anything other than eat, pee ad shower has been done by my man cause I can’t

We all need to take breaks from time to time, nothing wrong with that. Self-care is the best gift we can give ourselves. Hugs, this too shall pass. Sometimes I sing to the tune of “it’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to:,”It’s my blog and I’ll blog if I want to” just to add some silliness.

Love from Maine! Guilt wil eat your guts out if you let it. You have nothing to apologize for. At least not to me. I value every post you write, and I don’t keep track of frequency.
I’m sorry you are feeling poorly — I hope you find some resolutions, soon!

Guilt is the worst, and I find myself there so often. Take a break, take care of yourself, you are not ineffective, just hurting.

Oh sweetheart, please do not feel guilty. You do what you need to do just for you. We will not desert just because there are no postings. We will celebrate your block being broken when it is. And I know it will. This is a time that I promise you will pass despite feeling like it never will. I can empathize with you so much, please just don’t give up pn us.
Gentle hugs today~

Don’t feel guilty!! I haven’t posted anything in over three weeks. You have other issues to deal with than feeling you need to post something. Post when you WANT, not because you HAVE to. We’re all here. We all understand.

Someone once told me guilt is a useless emotion. Still, we have it, or at least some of us do. I say if we get rid of all the “should haves” we can get rid of a lot of guilt. I also tell myself if I were meant to be somewhere else doing something else, I would be. Just take the time you need to be your best YOU. We blog when and as we can, no rules to being ourselves and doing our blogs our own way. See you soon!
Sending love!

Hang in there! Don’t feel guilty when you need to retreat and regroup. Do the best that you can with what you have in that moment. Some moments we have more than others. It will get better.

Why should you feel guilty for not being able to write? It’s like someone with no legs feeling guilty because they can’t walk. OK, bad analogy perhaps as you will perhaps feel more like sharing and writing at some point, whereas legs are quite unlikely to grow back. But I hope I’ve made you smile at least.
Love & prayers. xx

I feel very similar. I haven’t written in a while but I broke that destructive cycle today when I finally wrote about something that really affected me. I know you’ll bounce back, this is just a phase that most writers go through. You’ll find that this period of ‘uncreativity’ will give you more to write about when the creative juices start flowing again. Good luck and stay blessed x

I’ve felt bad for feeling upset at reading some of my favorite blogs, as you mentioned in your previous post. I was getting jealous of some of my fellow bloggers for this or that. “Oh look, at least they have a love life,” I tell myself, then I’d get angry at myself and guilty for thinking that. But you know what? It’s just a feeling that will eventually pass. Why beat myself up about it? I hope you realize that you don’t need to beat yourself up about not writing. We all need breaks. We all have things going on. I’m sure we’ve all gone on here and said, “eh to hell with this”. I have. Then I’ve come back.
Thanks to all the other things you’ve written (and that’s a LOT), I’ve been able to open up more and more. Really, the more I read from others and their experiences which are similar to mine in some way or another, the more I’ve been able to shed some skin.

I completely understand. I get the same exact way. Please do not feel guilty. I’m pretty sure we all get this way. Infact, you can always tell when I am depressed because I dont’ get any where near the computer at all. So, all the gaps between posts are bouts of my depression. I hope you are feeling better. Do not worry about us, I know I’m sending positive thoughts your way!
