If you need to talk, that's what this forum's here for. Don't ever worry about that while posting in this forum. If it's ever too much for someone, they can stop reading to take care of themselves, and those who are able to read will.

I'm not sure that I'm reading this right - Are you saying that 15 years ago, you took your now-friend from her family, including from this guy who was now preparing food for the homeless event?
I understand about the melting into tears over things that would hardly touch most people. That's what started the last cascade of events that put me on disability. It was bad enough that I cried at work when I had jobs, but after going though serious workplace mobbing and being forced to resign, I could not ask for an application without bursting into tears, much less get through an interview. Who's going to hire the one that can't say the word "job" without bursting into tears?
It's easier to look like our best selves through the computer screen. We all have times when we have to reach out, and other times when we can reach to others, and other times when we need to take care of ourselves. I bet there are enough of us here that all roles can get filled without anybody getting pushed too far - so don't worry about it.
