Aren't you taking classes now?

Classes were supposed to get me more human contact, which is a need I found other ways to fulfill, so I stopped taking classes and now I'm happier than I've been in years. I've decided it's okay for me to coast for a while and not change anything voluntarily because I seriously haven't felt so okay in a long time, and that's too important.

I worry I'm damaged and I can never do anything productive or steady without imploding. I wish I could go to school and not feel so angry/depressed/disconnected/wrong so I could stop being so isolated and have something steady for when my parents can't pay for me anymore.

I don't really know what your situation is, so... hmm. It's good that you feel better now. Hopefully when you've taken some time to recover, you can move forward in other domains too.

Thanks. I wrote that reply when I was tired, and looking at it now I realize what a difficult reply it was to reply to ._. I'm sorry...I really do feel better these days. For instance, I thought autumn was going to be a hideous shock like last year, but so far it's going pretty good.

Lately I have ideas for all kinds of things I want to do that might actually be work. There's a tiny library a few minutes from my house out in the country that is pleasingly liberal and friendly and they may want someone to put books away or help with computers. I could make a living out of translating, but I think I also wouldn't mind helping smart high school kids who can't stay in school or running tabletop RPG campaigns for elementary school kids D:

You'd be a good translator :) And you can do it from home, too! There's no reason you can't do both, fill in the odd hours between contracts by helping at the library.
