Same on big crisis here mate. I don't have anything left to scrap and got tired of being told to scrap harder. For me I have to go "enough is enough" but I need to scrap one last time to do that.
The president of Uruguai Mujica once said: nobody is so down that they can't help each other. It doesn't translate well, so maybe look it up. So I'm here if you want to tell me more.
Love that.
I was telling my son the other day that I was sitting on the edge of my bed in tears, and all I wanted was somebody that I could text or call briefly, and I had nobody. I'm 63 years old. I've got eight kids. Nobody.
With just being open here for a few days, I've already got a couple of people, including you, who've said that they don't mind hearing from me in a crisis.
I'm tearing up a little right now. My fellow depressed community is making me real happy in the moment. Actually had a good talk with my wife tonight. It's been some hard times so I'm glad for the little oasis.
It is tough making connections and keeping them. Everyone is busy with something, and times don't align.
Virtual hug to you mate. I hope we cross soon in another post. I'm a lurker in dull men group in Lenny, maybe I'll post something eventually, it would be nice to see you there .
