<p>I&#8217;ve been largely AWOL from gchat and facebook this past week, which is atypical for my internet-addicted ass.</p>
<p>This weekend, I got a few text messages from my usual buddies wondering what I was up to and if I was okay.</p>
<p>I am not okay and don&#8217;t have any advice for them to give me, but It was nice to know that people notice when I&#8217;m not around. (Just for the record, I&#8217;m only <em>a little bit</em> of a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evG2DDmSdxM">creep </a>and/or weirdo.)</p>
<p>I&#8217;d also like to note that I&#8217;m happy to see webcomics lightening up serious topics and getting more exposure and understanding for mental health issues like anxiety and depression.</p>
<p>And to my depressed internet, buddies out there, also hibernating for the winter:  Surround yourself with friends (if you&#8217;re up to it) and love yourself.</p>
