Shooting Star
Apr. 2nd, 2022 07:41 pmOne of my best friends signed himself into a psychiatric observation stay this week. He'd posted a few things mentioning some mental health concerns, and we had a brief talk about things last week - as much to shore each other up as anything. He signed himself out this morning following observation and evaluation. We're going have a longer talk in a while, when he's ready.
Ben and have been friends almost since we met back in Lexington. He was one of my GenCon staffers for a few years. I was one of his groomsmen. We've had good times together. He's successful, father to a sweet year-old daughter. He's been there to reel in some of my less-noble behavior. He's going to be okay.
He just posted a lengthy description of what led to this. There's no big single event, lots of things stacking up. The death-of-a-thousand-paper-cuts. I can sure understand this. I'm fighting my own collection of mind-weasels; sometimes winning, sometimes losing, sometimes managing a holding action.
