Not such a good day... lost it at work today with a friend... who's really not... hurts... but as I told her I've obviously had to survive worse...

I made an appointment to see a counselor... I have tools but seems like maybe they're a bit rusty... cried all over them I suppose... trying to make light of things... its one way of coping... Sorry not going to be of much help to anybody for a bit.

Remember that it\'s not your job to help all of us, it\'s \"our\" job to help \"each other\".
You\'ve had Cara and Duchess and feeling responsible for Richard, while doing your job, being here for us,
and trying to navigate how to just keep moving in the middle of all of this. Of course you\'re bone-weary and feeling a bit lost. Take a deep breath, pull yourself in a little (stop worrying about what you\'re giving to, or giving off in the vicinity of, everybody else) and rest for awhile. A counselor sounds like a great idea. Emotional skills/tools are just like any other skill or tool. If you don\'t use it, you lose it. I\'d say, that having these particular skills get a little rusty is a good thing.........
I\'m here, we are ALL here, whenever you feel the need.
Consider yourself hugged.......... a really big lung-crushing hug...........
and if you feel the need, have a good cry on my shoulder while you\'re there.
That\'s why I\'m here........
