Drinking myself to sleep every night.
It sounds like you're going through a tough time, friend, my condolences - and a virtual hug. Humans generally find it very therapeutic to talk about what's on their mind with someone they trust, so consider trying that. If you don't have such people in your life (I don't usually, so there's no judgement there), perhaps find a relevant or mental health-related community where you can open up a bit (perhaps using a different account, if you prefer. May the drinks be optional versus necessary soon <3
Thanks for reaching out citizen. I do not have a drinking problem nor do I dislike children. The condition I do apparently suffer from though is having a sense of humour that only appeals to a very select few.
I don't think I've ever been addressed as "citizen" before - that's pretty funny :). I don't necessarily think your sense of humour is that niche, but to translate well in this space (versus in real life, where you have facial expressions and prosody to indicate to others you're joking), some consideration for Poe's Law might help bring the laughs
