I'm a shy pseudo-Burner.

Recovering from a major depression is hard.  I feel a lot better, and I have a lot more energy, and I'm ready to do stuff.  But how do I go about getting back into things?  Especially with the Burn community - I was pretty new when I just dropped off the face of the Earth for what, five months?  Now I feel really hesitant to make contact again.  I feel like I failed somehow by not being involved through the beginning of the busiest time of the year. 

Do any of you Burner types know of any leads/AFs who need a somewhat gimpy volunteer (meaning I can't carry heavy loads over distance or walk for a long time on my injured foot)?  I may be on a cane at F/s, but even so I can do assembly/take down, Greeting, manning ice, stuff like that. [info]gyesika, I've emailed Jen I just haven't heard back yet. 

To the Burners on my friends list:  I'm sorry I dropped off the map.  It was me.  Can I come back?

It seems to me that a healthy community in general would support the periodic need of individuals within that community to hermit up. Doubly so for a community with a high percentage of artists of all sorts.

But I can't speak for a community, only for myself. You're welcome at our camp if you wish to visit!

I'm hoping so. I recognize my own neurosis, here.

Thank you :) I would like to visit.
