Naw, there's no bridges worth the name here. Have you seen that South Park where they toss Kenny in the Platte River? Same goes in the Nebraska end.
I'm... Jeez... Okay, here's the deal. I've had like three online friends go completely to pieces in the last month. Two of them were being physically abused (one by her fiancee, one by a classmate), the other is under huge huge huge pressure, stressed to the point where she's doing the crying-and-puking-and-shaking thing.
Now, it's okay, as these things go. After cruel and incessant badgering by her friends online and IRL, Girl 1 (who is all of 17) dumped Mr Fisty, going so far as to take a tennis racket to him. Heh. Girl 2 (13) got her abuser (also 13) on video, and as a result said abuser is now enjoying the hospitality of the local juvenile lockup and, one hopes, intense counseling. Pressure girl (grown-up) is, I have every faith, smart enough to get assistance, and also has RL buds who are more than prepared to back her up - but right now she's at that godawful crisis point, one I've been at myself and hate and fear, and I don't like the notion of anybody going through that, let alone somebody I like.
Me, I'm frustrated by distance and the inadequacy of the keyboard, and...I'm tired.
It's not that I feel put-upon or anything like that. I'm just...it's a bit much at once, y'know? Work has been frustrating, and I'm getting ready for a huge convention/art show, and I've already had to put off a couple of commitments because of everything that's going on, and I feel really guilty about that and don't know how to make it right, and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, THE LONE GUNMEN ENDED ON A CLIFFHANGER AND LIKELY WON'T BE RENEWED! WHAT IN HELEN HUNT KIND OF WORLD ARE WE LIVING IN??? I can put up with a lot, but that "To Be Continued" was just the last straw! A just and merciful God would not allow it.
I understand your frustration; people come to me all the times with their problems, and I don't ever turn them away, even though I have problems of my own to deal with.

Sorry. Sorry.

Date: 2001-05-14 09:30 pm (UTC)I know it's not much, but I might understand what you're going through.
It's all fine and good to be a strong shoulder, but after awhile it can be too much.
:::Hugs again:::
Glad you were joking about the bridge.
