Rebuttal....

It was stupid. It was past 3 in the morning. I hadn't had more than two hours in a row of sleep in a week. I was depressed and I just started typing and that's what came out. Mind you, every word of it is true, but I feel stupid for saying it. I cried myself to sleep, but then I actually slept for eight whole hours, and felt a little bit better.
I got a few things done.
I went to the store.
I did laundry.
I made a nice meal.
I had ice cream.
I know I have friends.
I know it could be worse.
I love my haircut.

No, don't feel stupid for saying it. Feel better saying it. Feel better for getting it out of the system. Feel better for having eight consecutive hours of sleep. Feel better for doing stuff afterwards. Feel better for achieving. That's something positive, I'd say.

I didn't say anything to your previous post because by the time I saw it, other people had said what I was thinking.

Glad you're feeling better. I know, sometimes you just have to let it out and and go past it.

Sleep is a wonderful thing.
Food and ice cream are wonderful things.
Friends are truly glorious and help make life worthwhile.
Glad you're doing better.
Doing stuff helps sometimes, doesn't it?

Smart, not stupid

Julie, there's nothing stupid about feeling what you feel and being truthful about it. The world is full of confusion and pain caused by people who say "it's okay" when they mean "it's not okay." This isn't a license to make any one person's feelings the hub around which everyone else must turn, just recognition that honesty is a necessary start. Please don't stop being truthful; it would be toxic for you and toxic for the people around you.

You are a great person and Lucy and I both enjoy your company.
