So... What's the protocol when you find out via facebook that...

I have no interest in the GYM, but being fit and healthy is not a problem for me - I confess I used to be fitter, but it's been a rough year. Also, Rhy, stop measuring your weight in pounds.Nor do I plan on finding someone.I'm not giving up facebook either.If this was a confidence issue that would all be fairly good advice, likewise if this was a jealosy issue.This is a topic to stop me posting "Congratulations, God bless you both" completely non-ironically on facebook. There is more than one type of love, and in this case it is a love I have to live with and I get no thanks for.So, now that the soppy bit is out of the way let us consider the implications of modern media. Ten years ago, I would not have this problem, but I would also likely long since have gone mad and either killed myself or started stalking her to satisfy myself she was ok.As it is, facebook delivers me regular reports regarding her wellbeing, preventing my mind from wandering from one imagined danger to the next.Obviously, I'm mentally disturbed but I'm also functional because of facebook and the fact that people can broadcast their lives onto it and I'd still be mentally disturbed without facebook.

Just because your brain is broken, doesn't mean you can be ungrateful to those that are trying to help you and cheer you up.

Just because your brain is broken, doesn't mean you can be ungrateful to those that are trying to help you and cheer you up.

I'm really not ungrateful, I was just explaining that I'm not looking for that kind of help or advice.

And yes - my brain is really broken, I even have a dent on the left side of my skull to illustrate the point.
