I was going to say a lot more, but I guess what I really want to say is that I understand how you feel. I'm sorry you are having such a rough time at this point. I hope you can take a deep breath and take a step back from the edge. I'll be thinking of you.

"What is Real? asked the Velveteen Rabbit one day.
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
