Which obviously doesn't stand out here. Everyone seems to be having such a hard time. I haven't caught up on reading posts from while I was away for just 3 days, but I see that things are not good for a lot of folks.
I just wanted to be able to tell someone that I deleted the remaining card games from my computer because I was getting caught up again in these dissociative hours of playing free cell. I thought it would be ok since I deleted minesweeper but I found a way to make freecell grab my attention--I counted moves and limited myself to a certain number. I fear this is another OCD like thing. I don't have the dx of OCD, but I have some OCD problems and they seem worse all the time.
I might have to take a break from Babble soon, too, as it is so upsetting lately to see all the distress and I feel overwhelmed. It is sad to take a break--I want to help but I don't know what to say anymore to help.
Please take care of yourselves, everyone. I may check back in later or perhaps take a break--just didn't want to suddenly disappear--I had promised to not do that. So if I'm not here for a while, just know I, too, am taking a break.
