Can’t even get in to why, doesn’t matter. And it feels stupid and needy to even ask for kindofstrangersish to type a few words in a thread.

And I know I’m not alone in needing a little extra support right now, but a word would be great. Cuz I’m not doing awesome.

I’ll do my best to pay it forward.

Oh, sweetie. I hope you feel better soon.

I’ve had a moment or two or three lately. It’s a difficult time for many.

Here’s ‘good’ thoughts, just for you.

Hey, you know you can ask. You’re mot the first, prolly won’t be the last. Heck, I’ve done it myself. Sometimes this is a good place to unload because we are sorta strangerish and not right there.  
(Uh, that wasn’t meant to make us sound like demented weirdos)  
Anyway, we’re rootin for ya, whatever the trouble is.

I was having an absolutely miserable time of it recently, and wouldn’t have been able to coherently explain it, either. I could only vent about tangents, random crap that wasn’t really the main angst at all. It sucks, and feeling like you’re alone in that suckitude magnifies all the suckage until you’re mired in it.

You’re not alone, though.
