Dear Simon:

Thank you. I am sorry that you are miserable and have been miserable for so long. It so happens that I- like millions of others- have known misery myself- too much unnecessary misery. In the context of your thread, we can communicate for a long time, and maybe, just maybe I can be of a little help to you. If you are so inclined, tell me: what was wrong at home, growing up… and/ or share with me anything else that you think is relevant.
