Ask HN: I Need to Talk to Someone
It's a difficult position. Many of us are teetering on the edge. I couldn't support my wife and I while she continued what she was working on, I had to move home with my parents while she continued on her own so at least one of us could move forward. I felt ashamed, unless, hopeless. We spent over 6 months apart, but our marriage survived, and so did I.This really helped me:When despair for the world grows in meand I wake in the night at the least soundin fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water,and the great heron feeds.I come into the peace of wild thingswho do not tax their lives with forethought of grief.I come into the presence of still water.And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light.For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.- Wendell BerryGet out into nature for a day, leave your phone at home, observe reality, walk.  The world is mighty, and so are you. :)
