But, you know, my parents were right to worry. So my default is never "Don't be ridiculous.(and early intervention could be important) It happens. Am I recruiting? Fuck no. But there are as many things I love about life as I hate.
I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Can someone go beat up the people who keep telling me that it is better to find out now that there is something wrong? I find it a highly insensitive thing to say to someone with a disability.
I've never wished for Krav skills so much before in my life. Jehoshaphat.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, sj, so much! Thinking about you as you walk through this.

I do not have the energy to spend trying to convince people I'm okay today. I'm also trying to find the spoons to go to Trader Joe's. The pouring rain isn't helping.

It is okay not to be okay. Shoving spoons through the intertubes.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
sj, I'm so sorry. I hope for the best possible outcome, and the strength to deal with it. Much love to you and TCG.
And as you kind people (including you, sj) have told me countless times, it's OK to not be OK. It's a valid a feeling as any other.

I know it is fine to not be okay right now, but I still feel people are expecting me to reassure them that I'm fine.

Screw them sj. You just need to deal with you and TCG. And even with that, mostly YOU. Other people just need to be supportive and if they aren't, then they need to back off for a while.

When my mom feels like crap but doesn't want to discuss it she always responds "I'm just peachy dewy" to our inquires of how she is feeling. At this point we know it means to lay off. You don't need the pressure of having to be okay for anyone else.
Feel what you feel and perhaps answer that you WILL BE fine and leave it future tense if you don't want to discuss it further.

What Suzi and Laura said. I'm sorry if I added to it.
