So here’s the thing
24 Aug: Lucy journals that she is dreaming and weak again, and it's noticeable enough for Arthur to worry
25 Aug: Lucy heard flapping at the window, had bad dreams, and wakes pale and with a sore throat (clearly was attacked that night)
30 Aug: Lucy responds to Mina’s letter about her wedding, says she is healthy, full of life, and no longer sleepwalking: “I think I have not stirred out of my bed for a week”
31 Aug: Arthur is so worried about Lucy that he asks Seward to come check on her. He says “she looks awful, and is getting worse every day.”
So options are:
1. Lucy was getting better but Dracula attacked again the night of Aug 30th (which is possible, it’s been five days since the last known attack, but Arthur’s description of her illness doesn’t sound like a sudden change)
2. Lucy was lying to Mina so as not to worry her, especially in her own time of happiness (which is pretty consistent with what we’ve seen so far)
I think both options can work and honestly both are sad. Finally hopeful and looking forward to a happy future only for a sudden change for the worse, or more of the suffocating propriety and emotional secrecy leading Lucy to isolate herself even more. There is one cool thing that comes of it though, which is that Arthur sees through it all, pushes past her reluctance to care for herself, and makes sure something is done about her illness. I just think it's really sweet that Lucy, who prides herself in being hard to read (especially by someone like Seward who kinda does it for a living) and literally practices hiding her emotions in the mirror, is in love with and being cared for by the man who sees and accepts all of her.

How’s it hanging, Jonathan?
In which the ladies of Castle Dracula decided to take their snack to-go and I finally get around to copying a Tarot pose. The Hanged Man seems made for our good friend Mr. Harker, with the meanings put as follows:
Looking at life from a different perspective - Being in Limbo - Adjusting to circumstance - Paradox - Stopping to think before acting
To see our imperiled solicitor and company right-side-up, check below.

it’s so wild watching movies that originate major pop culture phenomena
currently watching Dracula (1931) and i can’t stop thinking like oh okay so this is where it all comes from
but then also listening to @re-dracula and hearing the original-original, watching Drac is especially feeling like discovering the missing link

there's a unique sort of black comedy to transitioning in a public-facing job. every damn day I get called 'the lady' at work. sometimes it's only once a day, sometimes I get very lucky and go a day without, sometimes it's relentless. I cut my hair short in the hopes that I'd hear it less. that didn't work. I wear a pronoun badge on my lanyard to give people the hint. one single person has noticed it and corrected themselves in the last 4 months. I figure the tits are kind of a giveaway, but binding makes me more uncomfortable a lot of the time. still, today I wore my binder, with the short hair, with the pronoun badge, and I swear I got called 'the lady' more times than any other day I can remember. at this rate I feel like I'm gonna be out there with a full beard and people will still be calling me the fucking lady

What's interesting to me is that what are deemed as "invisible illnesses" are not actually "invisible" at all. To me, what makes them "invisible" is the fact that, in today's society, people are still so focused on ensuring that others around them feel comfortable, that they hide their own discomfort and what they need to do to simply survive and manage life.
"Invisible" illnesses aren't invisible at all - you're just choosing to not look because if you did look, you'd have to re-examine your life, values, and beliefs about others.
