Oh Sean, listen to the wise people here who have been in your shoes and who care about you. Meanwhile, if it helps, ((((Sean))))
Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, Seanie. The hopelessness sucks so badly. I have some strategies that are helping me, let me know if you are curious. Short version - Dialectial Behavioral Therapy is the bomb for changing negative thought patterns. Here is a DBT self-help site - [link] Here is the page on Distress Tolerance - [link]
I love you. We all love you. We love you when you cannot love yourself. You are held.

uh, smonster, I think I forgot to call you this morning. I remember turning off the alarm at 3am and going downstairs, intending to set the alarm in the kitchen, and then I think I fell asleep on the couch. Sorry about that!
Hee. You did. S'cool.

{{{Sean}}}, again. Really wish there was something I could do, right now, to make you feel better. Please listen to other Buffistas.
Fred Pete, how's things with you and kitties and all? (There's a chance I won't see your answer until (my) tomorrow, because I'm going to bed soon).

Ann, that's a ferret.
Thanks for the thought, Shir. Marie came home last night and is back to normal, except she meows a lot more than normally. (I think she's scolding us.) Max seems to be a little better, which is encouraging because he has to go through the lung wash tomorrow (our time).
We're nervous about Max, because anesthesia is risky with his lungs in such rough shape. But we can't make him better without finding out what's going on. (Well, we could throw random antibiotics at it, which I'd be willing to do if there were a good chance that it would actually work.) So we don't have much choice.

Good luck and health to you and yours, Pete.
