TM, I relate to so much of what you wrote above. Even a year+ later, I still have these same feelings. Fortunately, they aren't as strong as they were or last as long, but still...
We're here to prop each other up as needed. Hang in there!

LP, thanks for the props. It's comforting to know we can come here and vent / journal / commiserate with others who know exactly what we are experiencing.

I agree with DG you are a great guy and I admire how you are handling your sitch. You are always so great at giving advice and making all of us feel better about where we are and what we should be doing. I know better things are ahead of you. Your W is crazy to be leaving such a great guy and we all know that.
Telemark, I am sorry your day started off so rough. I hope it's improving. I completely get it, man. I still have my moments where I'm absolutely furious. The good news is it doesn't last forever. The bad news is it returns from time to time.
You did the right thing by airing it out here. We're here for you and we get it.
At first I thought the company next door was doing work on the roof, but then the walls and floor stated to shake. Lasted about 2-3 minutes. No damage, but it definitely broke up the day.

That is insane. I hear places are shutting down. People are a little freaked. Makes sense.. not like you guys get them all the time. Hope you and all your loved ones are ok. My nephew got into a car accident when it happened.
Here in Cali, we just stop, shrug our shoulders, and then continue on with our day. But when it rains here... all h3ll breaks loose!

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.
