[quote=Anonymous] Here is my take... I really try to be a good friend and not flake at all, so I would not do this, but I have come close through brain fog and I find myself turning down many more offers than i used to because i am too afraid of cancelling at the last minute.

My theory....we all were already running on almost empty before Covid shutdown hit. Then we all were running on more than empty. Then between job insanity, inflation, world events and life events we are all just trying not to have a nervous breakdown. For me all that is mentioned sent me over the edge and combine that with elderly emergencies over the course of years and family drama from that and I was afraid if I walked on a bridge, I'd be tempted to jump off to escape it all. It's not a matter of...do I want to make it to this party or just chill at home. It's like sometimes you are so overloaded you forget things you would never have forgotten in the past and sometimes you or I should say I am at the point where I realize true mental insanity is closer than it has ever been, I am exhausted and if I don't bail on some things I may need a strait jacket.

I am so sorry you dealt with that OP and it's why I stopped entertaining besides the fact I have no time and no patience left these days. I say no all the time to avoid having to cancel last minute and I hate turning down friends, but the rest and time to take care of myself has kept from that bridge scenario. I can fill the glass just enough to appreciate life and my family. It would break my heart to know you put in so much effort and I had to bail.[/quote]
