There will be some changes on this blog around the comments section.
I deeply appreciate your opinion and I don’t want to take another step without asking you what do you think about it.
Writing posts already take all of my “extra” energy and I struggle severely since the beginning with giving replies to your comments.
I think all of you deserve a word, at least thank you for stopping by, if not else.
I’m exhausted all of the time, not just some days. Sadly, CPTSD and the meds aren’t doing me a favor here.
I don’t want to quit blogging completely, but I need to take some further steps to protect my already low energy.
What do you think?
Would you prefer to leave comments on for you only or should I turn them off completely?
Thank you again for all the comments you’ve made so far. I really appreciate all of them and I’m beyond thankful for your replies.
No matter the comments, you can still reach out to me through my email.
You should do whatever works best for you. When I’m low on mental energy, I find replying to comments with emojis is a lot easier than coming up with words.
This might work for a while too, thanks Ashley. 🙂

If generally positive, you can leave them on, unless you get worried if people stop commenting, then you can remove them for peace of mind
Thanks Jude.

Responding to comments can be exhausting. Do whatever makes you feel better. I shall still follow your blog with interest.
Thank you Carolyn.
I love your blog and enjoy commenting but I understand completely… I always think nothing is cast in stone… Maybe be selective, when you feel like you have energy make comments available and when you don’t have energy keep them closed. Just an idea.
Thanks for your input Morag.
Your blog is your space… do everything you need to protect that …
Sometimes I just reply with a like and “Thanks!” All my mental energy for the day got taken up by other things. It’s okay to not have a deep reply sometime.
I feel you need to do what you need to do for your well being. Wishing you only good things.
I like the suggestion made to insert a smiley/emoticon as acknowledgement. Everyone has different things going on with their lives and cannot always make time to reply to comments. Nice post. Take care Maja
I never expect a reply when I comment on a blog post. But as a blogger myself, I do feel an obligation to reply to anyone who comments on one of my posts.
This is not much help, but do what you feel you need to do. We are all adults here and ideally don’t have expectations.
Ideally, well said. 🙂 Thanks Sean.
