Trying to drown my feelings in bourbon.

It's not working.

FTR, I am OK and I'm not fishing for attention here. More just releasing into the void. Past the darkest thoughts. I have a very strong support system of a few IRL friends who have my back, front, and sides. This is just one of those times I'm letting myself feel what I've been trying to smash down low.

@voltronic I'm sorry to hear you're hurting. If talking would help, I will sit down and listen.

@voltronic
Getting lost in music is my choice of comfort💛

@Faay
Usually for me too, but when music is your work that can get over-saturating sometimes.

@Faay
Usually that's the case. I'll leave choir rehearsal and blast electronica or hip-hop. Sometimes quiet is the remedy.

@voltronic sometimes it’s better to let yourself feel it before letting it go, which takes courage and time. kudos to you.

@voltronic

honestly Voltronic, you would be one of the last folks I would suspect of attention-fishing.

I'm glad you've got strong supports but regret that circumstances necessitate them.

<3

@voltronic recent events in my life demanded I FEEL, ugly tears, pain. And on this side I realize how many tears I had suppressed, without even realizing it. Its easier to suppress, until it isn’t. Glad you have the strong support system.

@LaurelGreen
This is exactly what I've been feeling.

I'm sorry you are struggling with difficult times also. 💛

@voltronic I'm glad you're not having to deal with it alone. @LaurelGreen

Peace to you both x

@voltronic ugh. The emotional depths are not kind. Sometimes the healing takes a night, sometimes months, however it happens best, I hope it reaches you soon.

@voltronic , I can't drink
bourbon (really, really shouldn't) but i have a friend who soaks cherries in it and -Oh, my gosh I get tempted.

Fierce yet soft hugs. 🫂

@LadyZurk
I often choose rye instead. Either way, I drink it neat. I have been known to enjoy the occasional Old Fashioned, however.
