The only thing that I know that's true is that it has to be when you're not charged about it.

This is something that I learned in therapy that I override all the time.

Okay, so I just did this.

Like, I just did this.

So about a week and a half ago, after Tish had left from college, I think it's a very hard time in the world to launch a child into the world.

It's just baffling to me.

Something happened, and I was so scared, and I basically, it doesn't matter the details, but I called a friend.

who had some connection to Tish and decided I was mad at that friend for not doing something to support Tish, which was absolute insanity.

Like it had nothing to do with my fear, but I needed an object of the fear and I needed to fix it and I needed to put it on somebody.

I remember texting that friend and I remember thinking this is not a good idea.

You are fearful.

You are charged.

Stop texting.

And I was like, as soon as I'm finished.

I don't know why.

I cannot.

I don't know.

I don't freaking know.

But the point is, I sent the text.

And then the phone call came.
