There are an unusually high number of emotionally miserable people out there right now. Not just my friends and coworkers, but it seems friends of friends, or random strangers whose blogs I stumble across, are going thru relationship crap. I just came back from running a favor for the judge I’m working with today. A woman where I was at detained me to utilize some of my counseling skills and vented about a guy she just ended things with. Familiar stories all around. I gave her some suggestions on how to move forward from her situation, and am gonna help her w/some mild hand-holding, such as going to a spa and pampering ourselves sometime in the near future. Maybe I went thru all this crap so people around me could benefit from my experience. I dunno.

My supervisor suggested the other day that Spring yields some discontent because it’s the season people expect great things, and instead it’s been gloomy and it’s hard to watch your friends get married while you feel you’re nowhere on the relationship track (I guess a lot of weddings take place in Spring). I’m struggling every day for my emotional stability, and some days it’s easier than others. But we are all works in progress.
