Gud, you deserve care for your depression, and you deserve other people to treat you with kindness and understanding. I'm sorry if it hard to believe right now, and I'm sorry you are hurting.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Well, last weekend my wife really lit into me about how selfish I am and... well, maybe I'm just fundamentally a rotten person. I also realized I screwed up and never re-installed analytics when I last redid her website. Maybe I did it on purpose and forgot that I did, I don't know. Just been feeling like a waste of space for the last week or so.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
What WindSparrow said. Gud, you need to just hold a mirror up when your wife starts that. She's clearly the one who thinks everything revolves around her.
I was hoping to photograph today, but I stepped outside, and it was 18°, and I went NOPE.
I've been taking photos of the ice creature growing on my window.

And now I'm trying to make the thread about me. Nevermind, I'm fine. I'll be fine.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The thread is about all of us. Talking about yourself is never out of place.
Can you explain to me how you are selfish? I think if you try to express it, you'll immediately see how ridiculous it is.

Gudanov, a drowning person is not selfish. When you reach out here for validation, that is is your soul grasping for a life preserver. You are hurting, you are depressed. You are fighting anxiety. And not everyone in your life is kind and supportive of you. The part of you that says you deserve to be treated unkindly is sadly mistaken. You deserve kindness. You deserve compassion. You deserve respect. That there are people in your life who do not meet that obligation, the fault is in them. THE PROBLEM IS NOT INSIDE YOU. You may not be ready to believe it, but you are worthy of love, and you are worthy of kindness, and you are worthy of understanding.

Our wings are not tired.
We worry about you Gud. You are not being treated with the love and respect that is supposed to exist between spouses. It isn't right or fair. I've worked with my husband for nearly 30 years and I know well that if I screwed up and forgot to install something he would react by apologizing for putting too much on my plate. I know because this is how he treats me. If he forgets something my first reaction is that he has too much going on and that I should have calendared it for him. Partners. Helping each other. Supporting each other. Never blaming or abusing each other. We all make mistakes and deserve understanding and support.

The caramels usually melt and make them look like volcanoes or sink into the cookie. But my kitchen was cold, hence the caramels were, so they didn't melt.
