It got so bad last night, I almost started crying.

Yeah... I started yesterday too... might go on for a while... but, hopefully, it will come to an end! Blush

CIJS,

Tonight I read and analyzed a proof of the binomial theorem in Velleman's How To Prove It, and IMO, it is the clearest and most thorough explanation of it that I've seen.  His induction proof actually performs a binomial expansion of the terms and uses algebra and identities dealing with factorials to produce the desired result.  In every other book that I've seen, the proof never breaks down to an actual binomial expansion of the terms, which makes it harder to see how the factorial identities and algebra come into play, so I'm grateful to Velleman for his clarity.  Hence, this is the first time that I have a true appreciation for the theorem and a good understanding of it.

CIJS that I'm tired of it all. I think I would be more free in death than in life. I try way too hard to be reasonable when all the ones I care about won't even listen to me. Why should I choose which one to hurt? I don't want to hurt anybody. Maybe I'm just a fucking sissy, maybe I should just hurt myself
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

CIJS-
I don't know what I did wrong but, given that I'll probably never get the answer to that question, I'm just going to move on.

There are only two kinds of problems, those that your efforts can resolve, and those which are immune to any attempt at resolution. The latter are not properly problems.

I've never understood why people can go off like fireworks, and never tell anyone what the real problem is. If that's what happened to you, sorry to see it.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

You're not alone in feeling this way.
I too have been in a bad place without an exit, but somehow I managed to escape.
Just as hard as it is to look back and put a finger on a time when the misery started, it's also just as hard to pinpoint it's ending.
But you can be happy again. 
A thunderstorm only lasts for a while and then it dissipates.
Trust me, things will get better.

I suppose it's out of the fucking question you could stop the self pity shit and focus on the real dilemmas in you life rather than the false ones?
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
