On Ask Polly: I Am 40. Will I Be Alone Forever?
4 months into a separation? You're in Break Up Land. Do self care and worry later. After a 13 year relationship? Woof. If it's over, cut the cord and try to start moving on. This isn't about age, really, is it? It's that you have to re-design your entire life and you don't remember what it looked like before.

On Try Not To Get Too Worked Up
This actually helped a little bit. Perhaps only the depressed should try to write inspirational end of SAD season missives designed to kindle perhaps just a tiny spark of not-depression.

On It May Not Be Evil But Quinoa Does Pretty Much Suck
@skahammer Ha. Moon bananas! No, they're huge monoculture cash crops that displace local people's food supplies. As the article is condemning re: quinoa.

On Ask Polly: Should I Drop Out Of College?
@Hiroine Protagonist Sorry, just re-read more carefully and I see that you've tried, so GOOD FOR YOU! That is really hard! I'll be the one to tell you - you're ill. It takes a lot of energy to keep up a front that youre not, and it sounds like you're out. Your room solution is actually okay, it's safe and you have permission to retreat there to recover a little bit. You've made it to step 1, you've done what was presumably really hard and actually gotten to a therapist. I just wanted to give you some serious support for that. That's hard. From someone who has done the same thing, I would say now might be the time to let your professors/tutors know that you're having a really hard time, that you are in touch with the mental health centre and that you are trying to deal. An email giving a heads up is way way way more effective than one near the end of the semester that says you're been struggling all year but maintained in public. Give them time and establish this now. Deadlines can be changed, assignments can be put off - all that can happen, but you have to let them know. I hope your next therapy appointment goes well. Bug bug hugs.
