i am going underground for a while. there are a lot of things that have been stressing me out lately, some which are under control, others which aren't and i haven't been able to deal with them properly. after 3 panic attacks in about a week, i just need time alone. please do not be offended during this period of time if i do not answer your calls, respond to your instant messages, or go out and do things with you. this is not because i am angry or sad, i just need some time away from people. i don't know how long, but i will let you know when i am back to being myself. there is no one thing that caused this, but a great deal of things that sort of piled up. i need to concentrate on me for once and be even more selfish than usual. i hope to be able to come back into the real world soon. until then, adios.
