Angst notes.

[kiya]

My brother's having a colonoscopy at the end of the month to make a guess as to whether he's got Crohn's or Ulcerative Colitis or A Need For Increasingly Invasive Tests. He's losing weight pretty rapidly at the moment, and I'm awfully worried about him. (He doesn't exactly have a weight cushion to lose any more than I do.) My brother is a damn cool guy, who's having a wicked bad time of it right now.

Compared to inexplicable, painful degenerative digestive disorders which aren't responding to medication and dietary modification, my own angst seems a little petty. But I still have it; I'm running out of any capability to deal gracefully with long-distance-relationshipness, and it's starting to scare the hell out of me. I don't particularly want to lose my grip or my family. . . .

I feel awfully flattened. Part of this is a depressive phase; I can feel it in the profound lethargy. It's not as bad a hypersomnia as I got before I went on the vitamins, but it's still notable. teinedreugan and I are thinking about a movie tomorrow, and there's gaming Saturday, and maybe that'll help. Or at least drown out the greyness of the call to sleep, to just put a pillow over my head and shut everything else out.

Hmn. Always interesting to find someone else in a similar situation. I'm starting an MA-CA LDR. Any advice? (BTW, I believe that I've met you in person once.)

Flippantly: Hoard your sanity. Collect frequent flyer miles.

I don't know if you're as bad at LDR as I am. MA/CA is wicked. MA/MD wasn't so bad.

I don't know either; I've never had an LDR before. So far, I've gotten a cellphone plan with free long distance and taken up letter-writing.
