Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Dumb question I should know the answer to: can suede shoes be dyed?

It would appear so: [link]

Interrupting with a request for immediate support. I'm not doing very well at the moment. I'm waiting for my therapist to call me back, but it's been about 20 minutes since I paged her. She's probably in session, which I understand, but it is not helping matters.

Ummm...I suppose it's not helpful that I don't really know what I need, is it?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I hope your therapist calls back soon, vw, and can be of help once she does so.

Actually, I feel like I'm falling apart for no good reason. Granted, I haven't had a full night sleep in like a week, and it's been a very stressful week, but the last few days have been better. I know it also doesn't help that I just had to rip out a whole bunch of rows in the thing I'm crocheting because of a mistake...only I can't find the mistake...so this thing that's been zenish for me the last few days is no longer zenish at all.

Maybe it's not havng so much stress? I know I do that, hold it together through the crisis and then fall completely apart the second I can relax.

Sorry the crocheting is not co-operating.

I'm pretty sure that's what happened on Thursday and Friday. But, for Pete's sake. It's Monday now! Chill out, brain!

Ann, that's a ferret.

vw, FWIW, sometimes there are enough resources to get through the crisis. Then, when things calm down, the mind/body collapses because it's "safe" to do so.

Could that be what you're feeling?

(ETA: Or you can ignore the x-post.)
