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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Sorry for pointing out the obvious, then.
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 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.

Me too.

Big fucking deal. Everybody's fucked up dinner.
For fuck's sake, Gud, get your kids out of the house and divorce your abusive wife.
I hate being a shit person. I hate being me.
You ARE NOT A SHIT PERSON! You are an excellent human being in a very bad situation.

You are not a shit person, Gud. I'm sorry that being you is not feeling good right now. That's very hard.
