... I feel like the Pandemic and the one year+ of quarantine has underlined how unneeded I am. I live in Texas and I feel surrounded by Attila's horde. Nothing I do has any significance past the ferals I've been feeding for several years.

I have extreme anxiety over leaving the house. I finally have gotten to Houston to visit my mom for the first time in two years (there right now) and it was tough.

My wife has booked flights for us to Alaska at the end of August and at this point, I just do not know if I can do it or not.

I've come to the conclusion I never ever knew how much I thought I did and that the the sense of being in control I used to have, was an illusion.

You are not alone.
