I’m really sorry if my mood lately is affecting anyone else. I used to tough things out, macgyver my way around problems or distract myself with projects but life has been really difficult for a long time now and I am struggling severely.

If I seem really fractious, getting upset at what seems like small things, or oddly rough/blunt in my manner it is not at you.

It's okay Melba, I havent noticed you being blunt or anything :) besides, being fractious is understandable with having to deal with your health and melbcat's, and the stress of it all.

We love you, I don't think you could do anything to turn us against you :D

^^ this. I have never thought you were whiny or otherwise antisocial. Please vent away. You are going through shit and we are here for you. I like to hear your updates, and I feel good when you have little wins.

Melba, please stop it. You've got so many horrible things happening at the moment, and as you said yourself the other day, can't seem to catch a break. Nobody expects you to be all happy and upbeat

And I haven't noticed you being short, rude, or disrespectful to myself or anyone else. So keep venting as you need, and when things improve, you can shout us brekky at Bacon's food truck :)
