From a cold start

Mar 13, 2011 13:50

I came and then went away again for a while--I was mid-breakdown, mid-fall. I'm not sure if I landed at rock bottom, but close enough ( Read more... )

I'm sorry such hard times have found you. You're immensely brave. Please keep up on the writing.

I'm trying to be the brave and valiant sort. ;) And it's nice to have my brain percolating again enough to get some writing out. I've felt dull and wordless for so long.

Bravery, of course, does include asking for and accepting help. But you seem aware of that. ;)

If it helps to know that you are loved and admired by strangers who know you only by your words--I do. Thank you for writing and god, for your ferocious courage.

*hugs* You are lovely, thank you.

I wish I was un-crazy enough to offer you shelter, but then I'd have to move out. I can't even be around both of my offspring at once.

Keep asking and knocking on doors and taking what you can get.

Julia, and I'll be poking reality with a stick on your behalf.

*grin* No worries--it's a kind and generous thought. I like the idea of existentially knocking (as well as the literal). Thank you!

I feel really and unfairly lucky that I can be as depressed/hyperactive/resistant to medication as I am and yet not be dependant on my own abilities to keep from being homeless. You are, in many ways, a better human being than I am, and should have a better life.

My only advantage is that I'm a member of the archaic kulak class and can have a place for customary services.

Julia, being a serf has some advantages.

I'm so glad you're with us and able to write about all this, and I hope things are on the upswing from here on out.

Thank you!

I'm really glad to see you are back. I've been checking your LJ periodically for a long time now, and was so relieved to see this post. If there is anything I could do to help, let me know.

You are very sweet--thank you. *hug*
