Hi Shir! I was thinking of you yesterday. I was going through boxes of my mother's belongings that my step-father had packed up for me. They have sat unopened for years because I never quite seemed up to it. Anyway, one of the boxes contained the rocks you sent me to give to her. She loved them, and I very much appreciated that you gathered them for me. So that brought smiles and warm memories. Thank you. (eta: that was 8 years ago!)
I had a whole section about civic pride.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Oh, the rocks! I'm glad that brought smiles.
And 8 years ago, damn. I know it's not that much of a time, but it feels so far away.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Gud, I'm getting really worried about you. You're sounding like I sound when my depression is really getting to me. Please do SOMETHING to get professional help. At least talk to your GP about getting medication. A good therapist can also help you work through your issues -- I haven't been on Talkspace, but I've heard good things about it (and I don't mean just the Michael Weiss commercials).

Thrive to spite them
Please Gud see someone at least just to talk. Everyone makes mistakes we are people.
You have 2 kids who are old enough to cook and help around the house and your wife. You shouldn't be trying to do that all on your own.

Oh, Gud, I'm sorry you are having such a hard time. None of that actually sounds like its your fault, although I know it is hard to believe that when it is how you feel and you do get blamed. I'm sorry, man.
Other people having bigger problems does not make your problems smaller, alas.

Oh dear. RBG announced her cancer is back, but the good news is she isn't going anywhere.

Thanks. I'm not sure talking to somebody will help if I'm at heart just not a good person. Also, it's just too expensive right now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Gud, of course you're a good person.

Maybe talking to someone will help you realize you are a good person.

if I'm at heart just not a good person
Well, that's a false premise. I struggle with that feeling as well, Gud, and I know our brains can be very persuasive, but it's not true.
