I Do Not Know

I have been saying and praying this for days, so I thought I would write it here.  Please God, help me.  I am fearful and sad and scared.  I cannot keep the sadness at bay. I am unable to see the happiness.  I ask you to please help me see happiness and to protect me and my family.  Please.  I want to be doing good things.  I want to make a difference that is positive.  I am just so very afraid and unable to see a way out of my despair.  Please help me.  Please help me.  Please help me to see and feel my life of happiness again.  Please help me in my troubles.  Please help me to not feel shame.  Please help me to not feel the loss of myself.  Please help me to not be hurt.  Pleas help me and help my family.  Please.  I try to be a good person.  I try so very hard.  Please help me.  Please help me.

Oh Professor, do not believe the lies the enemy would tell you. You are a good person and God is reaching out to you. Take his hand and let him help you. Sometimes we are so busy asking God for help we don't notice when he does.
Talk to someone. See your doctor. Your priest. God gave us people around us to support us at times like these. Don't be afraid to reach out. Don't be ashamed.
Seek help.

Dear Professor,

Please don't continue to suffer like this, It is needless. I'm with Dora and Liz on this. Listen to them. We all have followed your blog for varying times and I think I can speak for your followers when I say we have all found you to be a humorous, wise and thoughtful person. Talk to someone face-to-face today. Blogs can be another way of connecting, but in times like these, only one-on-one will do. Get help today.

This too will pass, PT.
In the meanwhile, be kind TO YOURSELF. that's bold and underlined, please.

Forsythia is right.

I have been absent for a long time...for much the same reasons. This job...this chairmanship and professorship...is killing me. I love teaching, but the rest? Maybe it's just the time of semester? Maybe it's that folks don't really know what academicians go through? Maybe it's so many things? Just know that I'm still out here. Supporting. Listening. We'll get through this...
