Folks, I appreciate these good words. Yes, Bonnie, it is good to reach out. I hesitated posting here, because so many of the messages were uplifting and spiritual, where mine wasn't. I posted anyway, eventually, with the idea that honesty is important, and that someone could delete the damned thing if they didn't like it 
Several have mentioned that I often feel feelings that aren't mine. Wow. I had this insight late in life...perhaps a year ago...that I take on others feelings and process them as my own. Like many insights, I forgot Funny. But they certainly feel in every way like my own feelings...they're not differentiable, at least in their grosser aspects. Someone more aware than I might be able to tell the difference between his and others' feelings, but I can't.
Anyway, I appreciate the empathy and the warm greetings. And the teaching is good too
