I've been dealing with a bit of depression slipping in. I'm assuming it's the cloudy short days. Today I'm trying to get myself started with a positive outlook even when things are bleak. One of those bleak things is money. I make decent money but I'm in debt because of things out of my control. All I want to do is cut away the chaff and just get fully caught up. Live cheaply. But I'm tied to my life that isn't just mine. I try to explain the changes needed, they never happen.

@silversense I’ve been in your shoes. My brother, who we spoke about before, was my chief software architect. The software we were creating sucked up my life savings, plus put me into debt. His passing was the end of our project, but not the end of my debt. When I start to worry about that heaviness, I fast-forward to the worse that can happen. Then I work backward. I was able to eventually negotiate settlements that both sides could agree with.
@tthayne it was a rough morning of heavy thoughts. I'm doing much better now. Perhaps enough coffee and making good progress at work helped. Yeah, I understand what you mean. I guess all we can do is keep trying to find better solutions.
@silversense I am saying to think about, what is the worse thing that could happen? Even that is not the end of the world. It might be a new way to approach the challenge. Wishing you the best.
