So I had m'self a nice minibreakdown this week. Since then I've been in counseling and had a friend do some Reiki. I feel completely empty. I'm sure others here have had such breakdowns as well, but when I do there's always this emotional lull for a while afterwards. I don't feel much or care about much. I just feel....hollow. Know what I mean? I wonder how I'll feel once my emotions reboot.

Sooooooo understand. Goin' thru the same thing. Can't make myself be supportive, or even write in my journal. It's like there's nothin' there.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
