My illness also then led to other dark tunnels, and depression has swallowed me whole again. Part of my illness I feel is self-inflicted due to my smoking which I had been doing for 3 months solid. I had fallen into my addictions again......and now I am paying dearly. This is what death must feel like...unable to breathe....no energy, listlessness.

It can feel like death. It’s not forever though, just remember that. You can’t beat yourself up over succumbing to addiction again . You’ve stopped before, you can do it again. You’ve been here before, and came out alive, you can do it again. Stress, anxiety, and depression are purely internal forces. If you feel like you can’t control those forces, then just leave them behind. Get out of your head. Don’t give your thoughts the company to effect you. That’s the only place they exist. Do what you have to to focus on something else, even if it’s only for a few moments. That’s a few moments your thoughts don’t control you. Just keep reminding yourself that it’s not permanent. This to shall pass.

OH GOD. I am sick. I got pneumonia in China, and I am recovering sSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLOOOOOWWWWWLLLYYYYYY. Plus working for ONO has taken up all my time.....but I miss the steemit community, it has the small town feel.

How is ONO going? I haven't heard much news of it since launch. Working better than Steemit, in your opinion @stellabelle? I'm curious because I thought I heard they'd open it internationally soon. If not, I'm going to China for a while soon so I'll likely use it either way alongside Steemit, especially if it has advantages over Steemit.

Ono is a baby, just over three months old and the app is in alpha, undergoing a lot of development. So the main focus is on the development of the app and getting some big technical issues resolved. Interesting to note that both Partiko and Ono reward user activity and I wonder if these two apps are aware of the others functionality. The User is happier when the social actions are rewarded so I think both are going in the correct direction.
