I apologize for taking this long to get back to you.
Thank you, @karinxxl, both for your upvote as well as your timely comment.
I did not fully realize how down I was before I posted this - and so clearly I have something that needs to be sorted through. The first step shall be sleep - always a friend in these situtions. :c)
Thank you again. ^_^
Sleep is the best thing to start with! Without a well rested body and mind can never be well rested. After a good night of sleep you often you will see life in a whole different perspective.
No problem dude, I honestly think there is a listening ear in any channel in life..either real life, online, a family member, an neighbor, the dude next to you in the bar. There is always somebody who relates!!
Take care!
