ed: And this, after finishing the previous post and catching up on my FL: one friend's family death, one friend in for evaluation indefinitely^W for a few days en route to inpatient

Sadistic ironies of the Fates, today:

I can't help friends and family mend their interpersonal relationships because I don't know or understand enough about how they work to be any help.

I can't talk people out of nihilistic depression because .. I can't talk people into continuing to struggle against the world because I don't have any particulary good excuse myself.

And yet my family needs these things a great deal more than they need someone to tinker ineffectually with their computers.
