In A Rough Patch Emotionally
I am in a rough patch emotionally again. I am overwhelmed with fears of death and dying for myself and for others around me. I seem to have little coping mechanisms available to me to deal with these emotions other than to *try* to ignore them. And, unfortunately, that is easier said than done on many days.
I feel ineffective and useless and have no energy to "pull myself up by my bootstraps" to struggle into a different place emotionally. Instead, I am feeling all I can muster energy wise is to simply exist and to drift through the day until the next day comes.
I am not sure if writing this is valuable or not. My readership has plummeted to new lows. But, oh well. I am to tired to try to drum up readers.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
