Dead end I Things will be better without me. I’ll show them. They’ll be sorry. If one of these makes sense please keep reading.


Dead end II It seems like the only way left to go. The problems are real even if other people can’t understand that.




Dead end III Nobody understands. Nobody cares. And even if they did, they could not help. Stop right there. Your assumptions have put you in a corner. Believe it or not you are not the first person who has felt like this There are people waiting to give you a hand. call 1-800 XXX-YYYY
