Why must we stay where we don't belong

[purplerabbits]

I have been feeling intermittently crappy and am wondering whether I can or should do the Lughnassadh stuff. How do I get out of this one gracefullly?

P.S. People who don't know the answer to the question are still welcome to offer standard forms of reassurance....

I've been fashioning a rudimentary bunker, if you're interested? *offers spoon*

I think your first priority is to decide whether or not you still want to do it. For what it's worth I think you make a good organiser.

How much work have you put yourself down for? Do other things clash?

There's always Samhuinn...

Will you feel bad if you miss it? I guess you could go even though you;re not organising it, but *I* think you'll be fed up if you do that...

When is Lughnassadh? Will you feel better for doing it, or for not doing it?

thinking of you...

Better to bow out early and leave people with time to figure out alternatives rather than hesitate and maybe end up feeling worse and dropping out suddenly at the last minute.

You do a lot of organising, so it's not as if people won't understand that you're busy this time.

I don't know the answer to the question, but I agree with the other commenters who say it's better to tell them now than later.

I'm missing enough of the context that I don't know what kind of timescale we're talking about or how well you know the other people involved. Would they understand "I've been feeling intermittently crappy and think it might be better if I don't do this - I'd rather let you down now than at the last minute"? Some people "get" stress and mental health problems, and others don't.
