Dear Lisa:

I think I have an idea regarding how devastated you are. I have been devastated very continuously for decades (with those breaks from devastation that the brain takes on it own, as in daydreaming and the euphoric feeling that accompanies wishful thinking and make believe). I know loneliness very well. And like you, I thought I was the only one, that everyone else was happy.

You are not alone, Lisa. You are not one of very few people that are devastated. There are many, unfortunately.

You wrote: “I am in trouble emotionally and it feels like I’m going down and people are just watching me go down”- you have been feeling this way for… decades and you survived it. It only feels like you are going down.

I wish you felt better and soon.
