Your probably on a emotional or depressive slide, but you can get thru it. Just take a long break from whatever it is that has been on your mind. Regroup. Don't make decisions at these times.

The only way to take a break would be to run away from home and my duty. If I do that I am dead anyway.

Can you stay in bed tonight and all Sunday? Can you take a break that way and just tell people you're ill and need to rest?

No. Please don't. When I see you've made a post or responded to someone else's, post, I'm more inclined to take a look because I find you generally make good observations. The world needs more people like you, not less.

Hey.....do you know that there are people who love you? Can you love yourself to take a break and do something for you, too?

Mindsigh, today I had to take a short break from my own obligations to get out of a nasty funk I was in. It helped lift my mood to do something nice for a family of complete strangers - just because I could - and ask for nothing in return.

Please stay inside tonight, okay?

Mindsigh, please, if you'll choose something else besides that to do, choose a break for yourself of some kind. I don't know how to say the right thing, but you're worth stumbling over my words, I have so much on my plate too, it is a mess here, but help out (?) and stay around.
Here's my mess visualized, I am not good with words and not any better with paint, but I share this flawed imperfect thing to tell you just be who you are.

{hope that fixes it}

Mindsigh, please don't take a permanent way out of a temporary problem. your brothers and sisters here need you to stick around. it is not just you but all of us who are diminished when one of us goes away. I hope this made sense.

I didn't mean a break from your life. I meant a break from the thoughts making you feel this way. Its obvious there is a problem or problems, but your not ready for solutions. Whatever brought you to this point must be dealt with. But not now. Let the bad thoughts go for a while until you feel mentally balanced and strong enough to approach your problems with the determination to solve them.

When life starts getting me down, I try to think about this little gem, from my favorite philosopher-king.

Quote:
“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.” ~Marcus Aurelius


And if that doesn't help, I chug a pint of Bourbon. :wink:

Mindsigh, you are so special to all on the Wrong Planet - we won't let you be hurt. No matter what has happened that's made you feel so down right now, just give yourself a break. Take some personal time away and recoup. You deserve it. Please take care.

Here's a bouquet for you:
