I have no skills that anyone wants to pay for
Zen, tell me to delete if this is too detailed, but you were a journal editor, right? Talk to Steph about remote editing work. I know she's in medical editing, which is somewhat different, but still.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sorry for pointing out the obvious, then. I just really don't think you're unemployable, and I want you to get a fabulous new job and rub it in the faces of your former employers.

No, it was a good idea! I was just kind of scarce yesterday and today.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
you were a journal editor, right?
I was. I have mad skillz. Steph gave me some leads, thank you Steph!, and another friend of mine is talking to me right now about doing some freelance work. I'll be okay, I'm sure, I'm just...still trying not to panic.

I also want this! My sister reminded me how stressed out the job made me; she thinks I'm better off finding something else anyway.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think you have a really good chance of landing somewhere you are happier, for sure. You do have mad skillz!

I fucked up again, this time with the dinner I made badly. I hate being a shit person. I hate being me.

Our wings are not tired.
I love to cook, and try new recipes. Sometimes they are spectacular fails. We all laugh about it and the family gets to tease me for a while. Although my dinners may sometimes fail, I don't consider it even remotely a reflection on me as a person, and neither does my family. A bad meal does not make a bad person. Period.

YOU ARE NOT A SHIT PERSON!
YOU ARE NOT!
Gud, we've never met but you have been part of the Buffistas a long time and that means you've been a part of my life for a long time and I care about you. And I worry about you.
I worry that your wife's abuse will drive you to hurt yourself or attempt suicide. It would be way overstepping all kinds of boundaries but if I could I would be trying to meet you in person and get you to a therapist of some kind. Which would be crossing lines.
PLEASE PLEASE call the number that Fred Pete posted. Please.
