I didm nn.Hope you talked with our wonderful mods about this.
welcome back.
Oh my goodness no! It was no peticular person, just in general.Hi Pegasus216. I hope I was not the one who offended you. I can be an ass sometimes but generally try my best not to be. Glad you came back, a more pettier person would not have returned and just nursed their sorrow. No one should have that power over your emotions but you. Peace amidst the chaos, mal.
Wow! Words of wisdom - Andy can be quite pessimistic. I think I was doing that too for a while - reflecting moods and attitudes off him.While fighting the crazies, I had to learn all sorts of things. Those feelings of worthlessness and feeling like a burden to everyone, those are symptoms of some deeper hurt - it might be painful to figure it out, but liberating once you do.
For me, the hardest thing to learn, but probably the most important was compassion for myself. Think of how you feel for others when they struggle. Make sure you give that back to yourself. ((( peg ))) and ((( blunt ))) and (((myself, even))). (((All y'all))). Life is so hard.
Something else I want to share, since I'm relatively fresh off they psyche ward (figuratively speaking): don't be governed by the moods and emotions of others. I live with an Ogre. It's easy to reflect his moods - easier to join him than fight him. That's not me. I am buoyant and joyful. I try not to forget that.
We are Ka-Tet.
