Sometimes we don't know we're holding the shovel, digging a hole as fast as we can, and putting ourselves in it. So, sometimes, someone else has to convince us to put the burden down. Spiraling is so easy. I don't know why. I've been known to circle the drain from time to time.
The good news is you were able to distance yourself and write about it, try to understand it, and make your peace with a damn hard time in your life.
