It’s going to be okay. It’ll rarely, rarely ever get as bad as you inwardly fear. You’ll find a way to take the steps you’ll need to take to improve your situation, even if it doesn’t feel like it’s possible right now. It’s going to be okay. I’ve been through the ringer once or twice; believe me. ---

I hope things get better for you. If it’s any help, I find that taking a walk helps to clear my mind and recenter my emotions. ---

Yes. You don’t need to give details; just pop in and say hi. Or low, as the case may be, and if you want to. ---

I don’t even know what to say; I’ve started this reply in my head 42 times, and then typed and abandoned another 13. Just thank you all so much. I didn’t expect this…honestly, when I posted I didn’t expect anything, I was just casting about for something to grab on to. Annnd then I didn’t even follow up. Which I’ll admit was kinda crappy. RTFirefly got it right. I didn’t even log in after that post. I wish I had at least given you guys a heads-up, seeing this. I appreciate all of your comments so much, I can’t take the time to reply to you all individually just right now, but please, please know that everything is so appreciated. I didn’t know what to expect when I logged back in this evening, but I certainly did not expect to see what I discovered. Typical…caring and witty and funny posts, all the reasons we love this place. I am fine. I didn’t check on the user name of the person who dropped in to FB to check on me, but particular thanks to that person and anyone who messaged me here. I can’t say anything more than to thank you all again. Oh… **Isamu** , I’m dropping in your DMs 🤣 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/thoughts-please-send-em/855513.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/thoughts-please-send-em/855513.md?page=4)
