A lot of moments from that talk are percolating inside my brain, but there's one in particular that keeps jumping out at me:
I was crying, upset, feeling very vulnerable and said something along the lines of "I keep turning to my friends for help, but it feels like nobody's helping me." Once I said it, though, I realized (and said) the even sadder truth: that none of my friends are able to help me because they're all in as much trouble as I am.
