Latest update here         

Though it was not planned how appropriate for this to happen on Ta'anis Esther
​it helped me get in the mood of why we are fasting and to put aside the enthusiasm of Purim   

Well onward trucking hope y'all have an easy fast 

Dude, you are doing this to yourself. Nobody asked you to leave.
This didn't "happen" to you. You are choosing to make an issue and leave.
I am willing to email with you individually or even talk...but you write:
"I am not comfortable with calling anyone to talk for real" 
Many people on our group responded to your frustration the other day,
to try to make you feel better and heard. You said it didn't help, because it
wasn't a real connection. But then you say that you aren't comfortable with 
a real connection.
We (at least I) am here if you want.
----------
The Fast of Esther actually was a show of amazing achdus...think about it.

I'm so happy I'm not the most dramatic person on GYE anymore! For me, it's a big step.

from this, haha

I have never said any of that and you totally misconstrued/misinterpreted what I wrote.

Please do not bring these uncomfortable conversations on my thread or anywhere on the forum for that matter thanks for the understanding
I do not  want to discuss this as of now but if YOU must you can email

Yosef,
Just a reminder that you used to ask people to talk nicely to you, not to lecture you, etc. your response sounds very critical and aggressive. I don't know what your conversation was about but I think especially for you who really demanded a high level of understanding and compassion, you should try to tone it down.

Your point is well taken, Workingguy.
I apologize, Mayan.
Perhaps I should have said nothing. 
Perhaps I should have just emailed it.
Perhaps I should have been more clear what I meant.
I had NO intention of lecturing or upsetting you.
I think what made me post here was the tying it into the Fast of Esther,
which I felt was hashkafically (don't know if this is a word) wrong.
This fast is about achdus. How everyone came together
to avert the evil decree. Nobody said, fast on Pesach, are you crazy!
What about the mitzvah of eating matzah and drinking 4 cups of wine?!
No, everybody came together and fasted, and HaShem saw that achdus and saved us.
---------
Mayan, you talk about how words can be misconstrued and misinterpreted.
I feel the EXACT same way right now.
I simply wanted to tell you that our whole group cares about you and still wants you
to be part of the team. Nobody asked or expected that you would take the action
you did to leave. And that if you wanted to talk, I am still here for you.

Day 86

Haven't been postin lately do to the fact that I felt that I was usin the pc to often not paying attention to the family and slipping ALOT searchng things that were 100% okay but had adds there that were not okay so cutting back for awhile till I feel "calm" again.

Thank you to all those that reached out to me these past few days sorry to get anyone nervous.

HHM mazal tov on the milestone KGODAAT (can you figure that one out email me if not)

p.s. I have read the recent posts and am so proud to be part of this gye family everyone should have continued hatzlacha odaat

Did you consider a good adblocker?

I have gentech and most adds are blocked 
I think that these are more like headlines to a different article so they are not blocked

Day 87

Started the day with real stress wife very tired very k'vetchy no money.... ya get the point was thinking of calling someone....

Anyway feeling not good at all so went to go buy something for supper for the wife then stayed home to do ALOT of house stuff so when the wife comes home she will feel a little good
(she likes a clean neat house ut then who doesn't)

Feeling a little better still have more to do.... 

Good one! Clean houses save spouses.

cleaning, cooking, laundry

Hate it but I think it is helping me a little

it can definitely be therapeutic if you don't have to do it the whole time

I guess you are getting a taste of shibud mitzrayim. Joking aside, iyh it will be very appreciated and should help "pick things up".
