It&#039;s pretty bad. It&#039;s hard for me to type things. Unless I tell you otherwise privately, please don&#039;t contact me. Especially if you expect a response, which includes both writing back, or even just wanting me to feel a certain way emotionally, or wanting the contact with me that writing to me provides.  Because I probably will lack the energy for any of that. </p>
<p>I may end up writing stuff online or I may not. But unless what I write is a private email to you, the request that you don&#039;t write to me or call me still holds. Because likely if I do write stuff online, it will be because I had energy to do it at that moment. It doesn&#039;t mean I have the cognitive or emotional  energy at some other moment to handle reading or responding to (including just emotionally) your email. </p>
<p>I may or may not be able to moderate blog comments so be patient. </p>
