Threads only get locked when people argue with one another because it's triggering to some people's mental health. None of us are here to argue or get triggered. You can always make another thread about what you're going through, but please be aware that people here are very vulnerable and try to make it as kind and non-argumentative as possible.
I think they do care about what's going on in the lives of their clients. But they also have to detach themselves a bit as a professional and not a close friend because it's considered unethical to be both. Sometimes it's impossible not to be affected by something someone is going through, though. That's why therapists also need therapists sometimes.
It's been a long 3-4 days. I went back to where I grew up for a party. The drive is a bit scary, over the GDUB in NYC, and it was nice to see people from when I was little. Now it's back to reality. I'm actually glad to be home. Luckily there was no drama at my house, except they told me my cat was acting up some 🙀. Hope everyone here is doing as well as possible. 
Some people have so little faith and I believe it hurts them. And yet, we all have faith in something. We even walk by faith, not by sight. We believe that picking up our foot and stepping forward will land us on solid ground over and over again. That's faith. But some people have faith in the wrong things, like money and possessions. What good are those when we die? Naked we were born and naked we will die. None of those possessions are coming with us. It's important to have faith in the right things. The world around us is beautifully designed. I'm not talking about roads or buildings or anything man-made, but rather nature--rivers, oceans, mountains, hills, fields, forests, flowers, trees, etc. Someone had to create them all from nothing. Always have faith in the Creator, and not the creation.
Anxious. Trigger this time is a police leaflet through the door. Up to now I've always felt safe in my house, even though I had an opportunistic burglary once and stuff stolen from the garden. Now the police inform me burglars have a technique where they can just basically snap the lock on my door and open it, in 10 seconds. My burglar alarm is fucked so that wouldn't set it off. So they could in theory open my door in 10 seconds while I sleep and take whatever they like - or while I'm out. Or take me out.
Oh well, just more things to add to the list, will see about fixing the alarm and also about getting the locks changed to something a little more like Fort Knox and less like an open shop window 🤨

Frustrated. Wisdom of Reddit says any old handyman can do the job on my windows. Local handyman had a slick website, no job too big or too small, so I was hopeful. So I sent message. Response, "Sorry I don't do that." Surprised he didn't say "I can do any job on earth except that one, you're SOL mate". Of all the many 1000s of windows I just walked past while having a wander, who the heck redoes the seal all around them? They look neat and well done, while mine is perished and crumbling to nothing. How the hell do you find people? I asked the roofer and he appeared to have no idea what I was talking about. My quest goes on. I'd do it myself if I could figure out how to get the old shit off (unfortunately you can't just add a load of sealant on top 🤷
