Raj, if you feel too ill to channel it into writing torture scenes, we've got to get you a better way to restore you to good health! You've tried the keto diet (and survived the keto hangover thing)--you're already living in Europe, not the toxic food-additives/processed, GMO-food USA. There's Intermittent Fasting. There's all these new books on deep diaphramatic breathing. Do you need a cat, a dog, a come to Jesus miracle? I'm not being a smart alec here; I'm genuinely frustrated and perplexed and wishing I could find cures, wishing that prayer or "beaming positive intentions" could show some efficacy. I wish you well! Sincerely, earnestly, and with great determination - and not just because I selfishly want to read more of your fiction.

I wonder about @geekorner too - some of his poetry so beautifully and poignantly expressed his battle with depression. And I miss the fiction of @techslut. Where is Mistress Morgan? Where have so many writers gone when they sailed away from Steemit? Technically, @techslut is still here, but the posts are few and far between.

Thank you all for being here. Whenever I see myself as a recluse holed up on seven acres in the middle of nowhere in the Midwest, I consider the people I've met from all over the globe via Steemit (and other social media), and I wear, I get around - I know SO MANY GOOD PEOPLE!!!!

We both have to pass on the beer (gluten intolerance, for me) - but CHEERS, Raj!! You have brightened my days so many times. How about a sun-shining-through-the-clouds token?
