Also, you are worth any cost, Gud! But, yes, take advantage of your company's EAP!
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Of course you can vent. But we'll disagree with you when you say unkind things about yourself, because they're not true.

And you wouldn't stand for a friend being self-abusive.

Because books.
Saying this gently, Gud, but you also have to do the work when you're in therapy. You need to listen to what the therapist tells you, and act on what you learn.
We love you and we're happy to have you vent here whenever you like. That's what we all do! But we're also going to keep trying to help you understand that you are not a failure.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It wasn't joint therapy with your wife, was it?

At any rate, if you hear nothing else, please hear that being in a meeting while something unrelated is happening at home isn't "fucking up." It isn't "failing." It's just the way the world works!
I mean, unless you cut the power lines and sped off away from the house. Then maybe you did something wrong.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
You are such a kind and thoughtful person to others, Gud. I wish you could treat yourself 10% of that kindness and thoughtfulness.
And please, vent often. I thought to myself the other day that I didn't see your pixels in a while and I wondered how you are doing.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Home early today because of a doctor's appointment, which was a last-minute reschedule. (I got home on Friday, checked the voice mail to find a message from the doctor's office saying that the appointment I had set for the 19th was cancelled because the doctor wasn't going to be in the office. Called the office yesterday morning and got the last appointment available in 2019, which was today.)
