my dark hole

"I just feel like I'm drowning in a dark hole." This is what the system admin wrote to me in her email. She was asking for help. I was a little apprehensive to acknowledge her comment. She sounded really sad. Really, really desperate. Apparently, in some not-so-remarkable twist of fate, that is exactly what I'm feeling right now. I'm drowning in a dark hole. A hole filled with mistakes and lapses of judgment. I'm so sad right now. I find myself sighing every once in awhile. I catch myself closing my eyes tight, wishing that my problems would go away. It's a futile attempt but somehow, it makes me feel better. Rather, it makes me feel less. Making me less depressed. Not so much but enough. Enough to last me through the day...
