Sometimes I think I must make these things happen.
I'm kidding sort of. Maybe.

One of my oldest friends, she is a lot like me, we have a lot of similar ways of looking at the world and a lot of similar experiences with mood disorder and OCD, and have been through a lot together in terms of MI stuff...

She went from "hmm, need to run some tests" to "you have cancer and we need to schedule surgery ASAP" in a matter of a few months.

She found out a few days ago. I am very worried, but I can't really let that come through too much. Another friend who I've known nearly as long, who I am also very similar to is having a lot of problems with stability and a husband who is so unstable himself that it is basically dangerous for them to live together.

My sister is just a mess and in a foreign country, also very unstable and trying to make totally unreasonable demands. A lot of family stuff is very soon going to come to a head.

I'm worried about my health in, I'm pretty sure, a very reasonable manner. But I can't really talk to any of my very few very close friends about it, because all of their lives are kind of falling apart too.

So.
That's a good time.
