I want to say that I appreciate all of you once more. The kindness is intense and does make me feel less hopeless.

Posted by Qale (aka Qale) Apr 26 '24, 14:45

It's not that I was going to give up completely? I can't do the unthinkable, so put any worries about that kind of thing out of anyone's heads. But I certainly have never felt so defeated, even when I went through a few other things a decade to 13 years ago.

I will keep working with whisper on the car situation, with my doctor on changing the medication back (or to something else maybe), and also filling out the applications that make sense overall.

Again, I'm so very fortunate to have you all as friends, long-time friends, not-just-digital social-media-in-number-only friends. Thank you.
