Tell him that many invisible people want him to find an answer for you.
Also tell him that the invisible people talk to you every day, and occasionally want you to kick other people in the head, or kill them with your pinky.
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Also tell him that the invisible people talk to you every day, and occasionally want you to kick other people in the head, or kill them with your pinky.
Noooooo, don't tell him that. It's factually accurate but makes you sound crazy. Unless you show him this site. Which will make us look crazy. Either way, there's gonna be some judging going on.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I've had a headache since yesterday. It's just a regular tension headache, and nothing has made a dent in it. I'm ready to rip my brains out. I have no idea how you do it, ita. This isn't even a migraine and I'm exhausted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There is some crying involved, Allyson, but just lightly, so as to not exacerbate it. And a lot of staring into the middle distance.
Can I take my meds yet? Maybe in half an hour.

I'm sure feeling back-to-work exhaustion, and what I'm doing isn't half as complicated as Erin's new job. (and, yay, beth!) (and, yay, Nilly & Khusband)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh ita, that's so bad.
I feel the need to soak in a hot bath and then go to bed early.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Allyson, treat the tension more than the pain. Massage, heat, breathing exercises... whatever works to help relax you. Sometimes I go to sleep with one of those microwavable gel packs against my neck & shoulders.
I wish I had helpful suggestions for ita, too.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Aww, I wish people didn't have cry-worthy stuff going on. I wish I could wave my magic feel better wand.
But I am home. I have made it home from my massive train saga, and the dog is thrilled, thrilled I say, to see us. He would have us believe that the dogsitter neither fed nor watered nor treated nor played with him the whole time. But I know this is not so.
And our plants are ridiculously massive. So the housesitter was 95% win. The only fail was that the heater didn't come on when we got home. We changed the battery, which should not have been the problem, but anyway it's working again. So I just hope that it wasn't broken for like the whole time.
I changed my sheets and brought in the luggage and squabbled briefly with the SO, but that was just fatigue, and now the Biscuit and I are nestled all snug in our bed and the SO is getting ready to soak in the bath and a fire is going and OMG am I so glad to be home.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bah, upstairs neighbors woke me up at 5;50 yesterday morning, and again today at 2:50 a.m. At least they were nice just now when I talked to them.
