Just read Traces of Sun and wanted to come here say that I love it !!

It's so good especially the way it handles relationships, trauma and character developments like damn I genuinely cried in like nearly a year , not many books can make me tear up but this one really played with the feels . It's just a really good read ! Very well written and love the way characters develop and the author works with mental health subjects , it's just done well and it has a hopeful happy ending !!

This book was just something I need right now !!

Just an age warning:

this manhwa deals with dark and heavy, just mainly mature stuff , please be over at least 17 while reading it ! Things get pretty heavy there's also a scene of an attempt so yah take care of your mental health !!

Trigger Warning:

depression, suicide ideation, suicidal thoughts , self injury , child abuse , c-ptsd and trauma things including panic attacks , flashbacks , problems with relationships (platonic and romantic) etc . there's a lot .. it's pretty heavy in the that aspect

Plot summary by a unprofessional:

it's a dungeon type manhwa with bl or shonen ai as canon , very cute relationship, even when ml feels like a red flag I insist keep going this emotionally repressed and traumatized man turns out to be a big BIG Green flag .

The MC is just amazing his journey with mental health, suicide ideation and thoughts , survival guilt (with loosing loving amazing friends) and c-ptsd are beautifully depicted with the story progression .

I think I personally love the end where it's " I'm not better yet but I will get there someday with this amazing new friends/family I have found ".

Though I wouldn't recommend it for people who only read dungeon , hunter type manhwa for action alone .. it definitely has its badass moments but not something the plot focuses on it's main focus is around its people and their journey focusing a lot on mental health aspects , also has suspense and cliffhanger moments . Would definitely recommend it if you like manhwa like :

S class that I raised , trash of count family, regressor instructions manual , etc though there's way less occurrence of mc plotting things , and no time travel or regression going on , but the characters hold similar complexities in nature and development, it's different but good ! Also a good and small read for people who like mdzs and tgcf .

Trigger Warning again I guess and plot point : just a reminder this deals heavily around suicide, thoughts and ideation .

If you're looking for Bl, angst with happy ending, especially around the suicidal thoughts, ideation , attempt(albeit a little doubtful one) with hopeful end !

I would highly recommend

P.S specially wanted mention to these amazing friends who die. cause there's a chapter that had a choke hold on my feels for a while ! This chapter was definitely something I didn't know I needed in my life until I found it !!

God I just realized Tucker must have felt like he got hit by 12 semi trucks one after another once he got control of his body back.

living with chronic pain:

SB

---

Living with chronic pain is like carrying an invisible backpack filled with rocks. Some days, it feels like I'm hiking uphill; others, I manage to find a plateau where the weight seems a little lighter.

The truth is, chronic pain isn't just physical; it's a mental and emotional journey too. Here's what I've learned:

1. **Acknowledge Your Feelings**: It's okay to feel frustrated, sad, or even angry. These emotions are valid. Talking about them, whether with friends, family, or a therapist, can be incredibly relieving.

2. **Find What Works for You**: Pain management is not one-size-fits-all. Medications, physical therapy, acupuncture, meditation, or even a new hobby might help. The key is trial and error - what works for one person might not work for another.

3. **Community Matters**: You're not alone. Connecting with others who understand chronic pain can provide comfort and practical advice. Online forums, support groups, or local meetups can be a lifeline.

4. **Rest is Productive**: On bad pain days, resting isn't laziness; it's necessary. Your body is telling you it needs time to heal or recover.

5. **Celebrate Small Victories**: Did you manage to go for a walk? Did you prepare a meal despite the pain? These are victories. Celebrate them, no matter how small they seem to others.

6. **Adapt and Adjust**: Life with chronic pain means sometimes redefining what you can do. It might mean changing career paths, hobbies, or how you spend your time. Flexibility in expectations is crucial.

7. **Seek Help When Needed**: Whether it's adjusting your treatment plan or just needing someone to talk to, reaching out for help isn't a sign of weakness. It's part of managing your condition.

Living with chronic pain reshapes life, but it doesn’t define it. Here's to finding those moments of peace amidst the storm, and to all of us learning to dance in the rain.

What do you need today? What could you leave for others?

@juniper-jellyfish-studios thank you. I need the courage to leave an abusive job. @pirate-captain-kaira I often have very few social spoons too but we are both good friends. @shakespeareanqueer even at 38 I feel I have lots of time to keep growing.

Before & after: May 2021 vs. February 2024. :')

I know I'm not the epitome of health now - to be fair, I used to have a higher % of muscle mass, but lost it over the fall during an involuntary IP stay for psychosis, and then during winter as well. :^)

But I'm definitely physically healthier than I was before.

My menstrual periods are back, I can lift heavier objects, and can finally hike for longer than my 30-years-older mother; something I couldn't do before.

When it comes to the bigger picture, my life has changed so much, almost overwhelmingly so - in both pretty good, and devastatingly bad ways.

If anything, recovery gives you a new perspective on life.

a little on being tired; because March is for resting up and reclaiming your energy

types of fatigue :

helper fatigue : from pouring all of your effort and energy into others while leaving none for yourself

depression fatigue : from fighting off and carrying the weight of negative intrusive thoughts

future fatigue : from spending so much time working towards a future goal that you neglect your needs in the present

anxiety fatigue : from being in constant fight or flight mode and never being able to let your guard down

compassion fatigue : from absorbing negative emotions from surroundings and experiencing sensory overload

antidotal mantra :

[journey-to-balance]

Rest and self care are so important. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel.
