**I have it pretty good, I admit. I have no financial worries, well for the most part. I am healthy and capable but somehow I am feeling restless and detached.
There is a reason but there is no fucking place on this Earth I can talk to anyone about it with. Someone, just someone is all I need to talk to, that is really bugging me.
I fear if I talk to anyone, that this fucking thing I am concerned about will show what a loser I am. This thing that I want to tell the world will make me look like a terrible person in so many eyes of those I know.
This really sucks…FUCK.
So it’s not a major rant but it’s enough for me.
And damnit…I just need to let it all be known, but I freaking can’t! I even want to cry over it, but I fear I will look more like a fool for it.
< so it’s not a big deal but I had to scream for a sec >**
I confess…I’m really not sure where you’re coming from here. Are you saying that you want to rant about something that you’re self concious about, but can’t do it on the board because there are too many people. That you want a sympathetic ear but don’t want to talk to someone you know, again, because you’ll look foolish?
If you want to vent privately, you are welcome to e-mail me. (Seriously) I’m a newbie and you don’t know me personally, so I’m not likely to judge you, and if I did, who cares? You don’t really know me.
All I know of you is that you seem like a very nice person, and you seem to be popular on the boards (the pictures thing and all).
If it helps, I was a psych major in college. No, I can’t give sage psychiatric advice, but I do feel I’m a pretty decent listener/reader, if that helps.
Anyway, if I’m completely misreading you on this, and/or you’re thinking “Who is this schmuck?”, well, all I ask is that you don’t flame me too hard.
You don’t know me, but I have been reading your posts and I think you have much more going for you than the average person. This does not preclude you from having low times, in fact the more intelligent and sensitive you are, the more likely you are to HAVE low times. I think.
My advice? This crew seems to be quite loving and accepting of people. An observation, I admit, that is based on only a month or so of lurking. However, you are obviously much loved by your fellow dopers, and it seems to me that if you need support, they will be there for you. I will be, also, but since you don’t know me I don’t expect you to care.
Now, I have to say that if you killed someone, or some other heinous thing, I may have to rethink my support. Otherwise, I think I can safely say that you can count on me!
I’m gonna move this to MPSIMS. techchick’s concerns are not what I’d consider mundane or pointless, but it’s more of a request for advice and support from the SDMB community than a rant.
Plus, you’d get a much greater response (and probably much more solace as a result) in MPSIMS than in the Pit.
I will note the switch in a “Moved Threads” thread here in the Pit.

Well Techchick that sounds like you are reading my mind.
Out of my head OUT, OUT!
No seriously, I have said or thought the same thing(s).
If you can’t talk with anyone, talk,rant and cry to a pet.
I have done that before and it helps. Nothing like the unconditional love of a dog to make you feel a bit better.
If you have no pets, try borrowing someones dog.
Have a great day,
Osip
I just want to offer you my support and say youre welcome to email me if you want a virtual shoulder to cry on. I agree with Scotticher - you have a lot going for you and from your posts you sound like a really cool, intelligent, funny person.
Please remember that rotten periods pass (Ive had my share of them).
