I was not really online yesterday. I mean I opened up MyLot I saw the little red number of notifications saw it growing but couldn't really get round to answering it.
Just wasn't up to it really. I don't remember might of answered a few but not too much really.
Today I did not look at MyLot did not answer anything until now. I've logged on maybe half an hour ago I don't know it's technically now the 11th here.
I am already a little overwhelmed at seeing the notifications pile up. I didn't have a lot of notifications I am sure compared to a lot of you on here.
However for me it was too much. I am a chatty person but sometimes I am very introverted and as much as I love to chat this is not my only social site and it appears that energetic attitude I had when I joined a couple days ago is now me going all introverted as I am on you guys and wanting to just recharge my batteries a bit.
I have replied to some of the people in my notifications I was working my way from the bottom of the list ( the olderst) to the top.
I fear for now though it has defeated me as I still have notifications from the 9th to get too. I promise I am not ignoring you. If you see I've been active and commenting that is me trying to get back to all of you but right now I cannot seem to work my way through all these replies and new comments.
Such is the life of being mentally ill with mood disorders such as mine one minute I am appearing extroverted and then it comes down and back to good old introverted me. I'm very much an introvert at heart but sometimes I get an energy boost like a shock of lightning that gives me this sudden urge to be a social butterfly a busy body bee. Going buzz buzz from hive to hive.
But this is just not me....not all the time at least. You will come to see I imagine how contradictory I am. There are two sides to me and they are at complete odds with each other. Sometimes I feel like I am the personification of an oxymoron
If you read all this then well *pats you on the back* as this is probably very long and rambly at this point.

@Hannihar I've managed to be very productive since my last reply. I've done what I felt like and actually surprised myself and got a lot of household chores done which has made me happy and my mum too as she's not had the energy to do some of the chores she'd usually take on in the house.
I've sort of enjoyed keeping busy it's made me feel less like a bird trapped in a cage although I have been going out a fair bit mostly because EVERYWHERE is always out of stock of basic items so when we go out it's more like a marathon to 5 or more stores just to get a few items.

Thank you for this! Yeah sometimes I just can't do everything and as much as I do enjoy socialising lately I've also just not wanted to do that too much.
I've mostly just been spending time with my family especially my fiance and I can't say I've even been entirely social outside of that either on other social media.
I was a little bit but sometimes you just have to switch off from it all.

We all have our ups and downs. It is understandable maybe you can keep them somewhere do you don’t lose them and may get back to your friends who has commented and replied to you once your other self is back in action. Enjoy your one self for now.

Thank you yes I've noticed how friendly and welcoming you all were when I first joined 
I just don't want to appear rude I am the same with every social site I always feel a bit rude or bad if I just disappear for days without replying to someone.
But it is sometimes necessary for me to remove myself and sort of just lurk and not talk and just yeah be a very unsociable hermit binge watching usually crime shows and doing real life stuff.

Dont worry about getting back to anyone right away. You have i think a week until notifications dissapear, so you have time. And you never have to do them all at once. Just do what you want when you want.

Dealing with notifications is one the often tedious tasks here. The best approach to here or anywhere is to follow how you feel at the time.

Thank you. This is true it's not that I don't enjoy talking to people it's more the number can be intimidating like at least when you chat on like an instant chat like Facebook Messenger you don't like get such a big pile up of notifications because of course if one person talks to you its all in one chat not on multiple posts.
I don't know also I'm not that popular on Facebook so I don't have to worry about tons of notifications or what I consider to be 'tons' haha
