Lots of mapmakers run small online shops that would welcome your support during the holidays. Here's a list featuring a bunch of gift options to explore: http://bit.ly/map-sellers

Mental health improvements
Staying in bed worked, I'm feeling a lot better
more mental health problems
Current coping strategy: if I don't get out of bed I can't take steps to kill myself so it's ok if I can't get out of bed

this is probably why I get so aggro at the "there's no time for despair" scolds—motherfucker I'd love to not despair!! but I apparently cannot turn off this part of my brain that wants to fixate on getting enough painkillers to never wake up and the shame I feel about that only fuels the despair more
