Talking to a professional is awesome.
In shallow news, if there's anyone who is committed to the Cowgirl Jesse thing AND has money to literally throw away, they could buy me these: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Therapy saved my life, but more than that, the stuff I learned continues to reverberate and help me each day. My only advice is to keep trying therapists until you find one you click with.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, Allyson, you should probably seek professional help. Sorry things are difficult.
ION, apparently Indiana wants me, even though I was just thinking, "Lord, I can't go back there."
Is Southern Indiana and Illinois considered "the South"? Because I've never really thought so, but folks still have the Southern accent here.
Still tired, but still in a good mood. This morning as I was walking to my car at the motel, I said, "Good morning" to a big old guy loading up his Harley. He looked at me dubiously for a few seconds before saying, "How's it going?" Being cheerful is weird.
Also, I discovered I have hickeys. And my right shoulder is sore for some reason. My upper left leg is really sore, but at least I know why (and I ain't sayin').

tommy,
as someone who lived around/near that region of the country and fucking hated it, I think it is southern in sensibilities while geographically still being midwest.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jesus, Jesse, I don't like you that much. As if.
I have calls out to two doctors about meds. Let's see if either of them do anything. And one pharmacy calling another doctor about meds. I expect no traction on that either. Good thing I have a lot of work to do.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I thought I was doing so much better.

Allyson,
we all need help at various times. Don't beat yourself up about it. You'll get better.

Allyson, it's peaks and valleys, depression. You are probably still doing better than you were at your lowest point, and you're able to recognize when things are going off for you, so you can prevent the lowest of the lows from happening.

That leaves me nothing to do but nod my head, so I will.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Is Southern Indiana and Illinois considered "the South"? Because I've never really thought so, but folks still have the Southern accent here.
I think it is southern in sensibilities while geographically still being midwest.
Currently living in southwestern Ohio, I agree with this 100%.
I think some of the accent may be Appalachian, though, or a combination.
