Your welcome.🤗

So what do you do decades later and nothing is better !

[13ga in reply to wittsend0]

witts;

its an easy answer - but it also sucks. you KEEP going.

everything does change.... eventually. but you have to keep at it. read your profile... keep reading... keep going for help... if something doesn't work, try try again... there IS an answer out there. even if it takes decades to find. hopefully it won't; but you will never know if you stop trying.

it's ok to focus on family - especially if you get satisfaction and appreciation. but you GOTTA focus on you first. you're job #1.

(edit - addendum):

that might be my shortest post yet!

I'm still here but really running on empty. I have never been this emotionally beaten down, this badly before. Bad but not like this , with no one to lean on. It helps to vent so thanks for that. Be safe.

[13ga in reply to wittsend0]

that's why this forum exists, and why there's 50k+ people here!

keep venting, if that's what you need; we'll keep listening.

Very good advice, ive been working at it for 40 years, its now working !

[gerrerd in reply to wittsend0]

Change your thinking !

[wittsend0 in reply to gerrerd]

I agree, but that is the definition of mental illness, not being able to change.

[gerrerd in reply to wittsend0]

Every thing changes ! that,s the only certainty.
