heads-up

[jay]

I am not in a very good state emotionally, due to a variety of reasons... things falling apart here at home, my father's ongoing illness, only one of nine proposals selected at work, social failures and the shaky status of most of my relationships. It is hard to see anything positive looming. This is a heads-up and advance apology if I'm overly whiny, depressed, self-pitying, envious of socially-favored friends, tense with suppressed/controlled emotion, or reverting to bad old self-deprecation. Don't pay attention to it, I'm just not well. And I may not ask very well, for awhile... when feeling worthless it is hard to justify bothering someone else.

Brian,

Although this is one of the hardest times to do so, it is also one of the most important times to ask your friends for what you need. It may sound like a trite quote, but "that's what friends are for" is truer than you probably think. I think you may be surprised at the results when you aks for what you need...

I just really feel sorry for you right now. You're such a great guy with a lot to give, and you are so constrained right now.

I really want to help any way that I can

Thanks for the reassurance, and for your hospitality on Monday. :)
