I don't know that this terseness and tone is helpful when someone is clearly feeling at a low point. Sometimes people are just reaching out because they don't know what to do, and have lost perspective because they've become isolated.

I hope you'll be okay! Maybe you can brainstorm some other solutions to have ready for the next time it happens, to keep you busy? Perhaps some magazines since they're not too heavy and tend to be light in content as well.
Is there anyone you can call for a chat? Five minutes or so would probably help your mood if you are up to it.
TuxCart is pretty good!
Cards With Cats is a solid Hearts game.
PySolFC is a slightly clunky but workable solitaire.
I love Lexica, a word game similar to Boggle.
Finally, CrossWords is a good scrabble clone, though I've had issues with network multiplayer buggering itself. Good for local play still.
Man, that sucks. I hope you get a solution soon.
I think for some folks there's something primal going on, a feeling of being trapped when things are over their faces that they can't shake. It seems like something deep-seated and unconscious, really hard to get past. I get that way if I can't freely move my arms and legs while sleeping, but the face has never been so bad.
I wish I knew some advice I could give that would help people struggling but whenever food, sex, or sleep is involved, we're still weird fleshy worm tubes twitching our way through a hostile world.
The scene where they're all buried and poisoned while the den is torn apart and the rabbits are trapped, desperately trying to push nose-first past all the bodies clogging the dead-end passages.. I had a lot of bad dreams from that one!
Seconded! I found out in my late twenties that I was waking up every three minutes, all night long. I used to sleep 10-18 hours a day if I could get the time, and was still exhausted.
I won't even nap without my breathing machine now; the difference is shocking.
I am so glad to discover that Notley is still at it! I've added BtAF to my rss list, thank you for the post.
Not very on fleek if I do say so myself!
The squirrel suit will save me!! :D

I am sorry I've offended you. I'll take what you said seriously and watch myself closely in the future to make sure I'm not projecting.
What I was trying to say is that I think it's good to take extra care choosing words and approach when someone is having a hard time. Maybe you did do that, and we just disagree about the result.
