No need to apologize at all, hartbroken!! I've had my share of issues (no need to go into) and had a hell of a time not "going off" on a few people. One time I did (restrained from the level I really felt though) and couldn't make myself go for a considerable time. Rationally I know that nothing's perfect and that many times it's my own issues at play, but...
I, too, get very frustrated with the religion and "right thinking" stuff. Makes me feel like I'm not trying or something, and that I don't really have any business among those who have success with these things. Not that I begrudge them. At all. I'm glad for whatever works for people, but I do feel 'outside of outside' if that makes any sense.

Sooo hear you on this. I've managed to work, but it has become harder and harder. I can't even come anywhere close to supporting myself, never have been able to. My sister (who has no such issues) IMs with me, and is kind, but I can't begin to convey just how it is and how "simple" things that others take for granted aren't simple at all for me.
