from Kirstyn This 30-day blog challenge is only in its fourth day and I already forgot that I needed to blog today. Rita was smart and did hers in advance; I’m not exactly the brains behind the operation. Part of my forgetfulness is because of a situation involving a huge email snafu: turns out one of Marbles’ email addresses hadn’t been working properly for three or four months, meaning I had tons of unread pitches and emails I hadn’t responded to. So today I have mainly been sending apologetic emails. Much like every other day, then. I’m not very good when things go wrong – living with BPD is a weird one for stressful situations and (in my experience, which is absolutely personal to me and not representative of everyone living with BPD) when bad things happen, things tend to go one of two ways: super disastrously or ‘meh’-ly. Today was one of the better days: turns out a change in anti-depressants combined with talking therapy is working out for ol’ BPD Smith. (As literally nobody calls me, cos that would be super offensive). Though juggling freelance jobs, putting together the next issue of Marbles, working on our Dear Diary event and putting out lost email fires all day has done a number on me. So this is a short blog post. Which is fine. It seems obvious, and a little insulting, to point out, but sometimes you need to remember: when things are getting a wee bit overwhelming, take a damn break. I’ll be back on top form (so don’t get your hopes up too much) in a couple of days with something a bit less rushed. There are so many exciting things to talk about when it comes to the event. Like, for example, lineup announcement. Keep an eye out for that one, fun fans.
