how emotional do you feel you are compared to other people?

i'm feeling like about a 2 on a scale of 1-10. it's probably a defense against having to feel the low level stew of despair, regret, self-loathing, anxiety, and general malaise that's always there to bubble up punctuated by brief respites of amusement or nostalgia.


ugh. kinda a bummer way to start the thread but i'll go ahead and hit submit instead of deleting it.
