DISCOURAGED

I didn't post, because I felt really lousy again. Every year between mid-February and mid-March, I hit a wall. This year, it's early. I suspect allergies are the culprit. The weird thing is that every year, I FORGET about this "wall" until I hit it once again. Less than two weeks ago, I felt pretty good. Very suddenly, I started feeling fatigued and depressed, as well as having bad headaches, body aches, and sinus issues. It all began at the same time. And it's the same every year. When the weather cools off, I feel lots better. Then, as it starts to get warm again and plants start coming back, I begin to feel lousy, out of the blue. I'm going along at a good pace, then I come to a screeching halt. It sucks. Hopefully the doctor can help me figure out what to do.
I also feel quite discouraged about this blog. I didn't start out writing it just for myself. If I wanted to do that, I'd just keep a private journal. I began it hoping that it would strike a note with some people out there, that someone would take comfort in knowing their experiences are shared. I hoped some of what I wrote would be inspiring or helpful. That hasn't happened, apparently. When I started the blog in 2010, I added a follower each week. Now, no one follows my writing. No one comments or shares. That must mean that those who stumble across this page have no interest in it. That's pretty disheartening. That's one big reason I don't bother to write on some days, or write very little. I don't feel motivated, because I seem to be writing only for myself. That wasn't what I had in mind at all. While I never expected to become an internet sensation that had half the world buzzing, I thought I would have generated SOME interest after 6 months of writing.
