Scott,
I feel terrible that it has gotten that bad for you. Take care of yourself. I hope that the new regime works for you; if not, get right back to the pdoc. Never give up trying.
Why do you have to remember all this, because it is all a part of your life. It is affecting your actions and decissions you make on a daily basis. By remembering it, you can learn what you feel about it. By understanding your feelings about it, you can understand how it affects your life. By understanding how it affects your life, you can learn to make your decissions and perform your actions based upon what you really want, not upon the bad experience you had to suffer through.
I don't see a weak person in you, I see a person that is fighting hard and is overcome with emotions and memories he didn't know he had. The fight will become easier. As you address these memories and emotions one by one. Each time you get past one of them, that's one less weighing upon your mind.
I care about you. I see a lot of guys here that care about you. I don't think that you are useless. You have provided great input to help some of our brothers, me included, through some tough times. I also see that the last few days, you didn't care about you nor see the great asset you are, because you have been overrun by the pain, anger, and depression. In that position, it is hard to see those that do care about you and the good within yourself. I know, I've been there.
Evil jackass? Where did that one come from. I tried to picture an evil jackass, and you never came up in any of the tries. I cannot even force myself to see you in that role. I know that you have hurt your friend and you feel bad about this. This doesn't make you evil or does it make you a jackass. What you are is a fellow human being, a man. None of us are perfect, but we must strive to do the best we can. And along the way, we will make mistakes, heck we aren't perfect - remember. And unfortunately, some of our mistakes hurt others, some hurt ourselves, some destroy things, and/or some seem to mean little.
Take care my brother, and remember you are somebody strong and useful
Bill
