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. 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?

I wanted to say something about us never forgiving you here, but I have to remind myself that MDD is hard to deal with and people sometimes take things out of context.

So, I'll be uncharacteristically pleasant and agree with everyone else that you're welcome back anytime.

Thanks :) I imagine all that being nice has left you discombobulated. Do you need puppies to kick? (Stuffed puppies, because I'm a big softy). Babies to roast?
