It ended up being more than I could deal with, it just left me feeling depressed and shitty every week. I felt bad for bailing on a charity like that, but I'm donating to them instead, so it's something. Muchos respect to anyone can do this kind of work, it's really challenging.

Did you end up helping the people out good? Was it a helpline or a face to face thing. I've often wondered how i could help others, maybe by being someone on the other end of the phone who can just connect with someone and be a support for them.

Can you suggest three ways that will ensure that 2009 is a better year than 2008 was for me. Bearing in mind that 1 = a really bad year, and 10 = an excellent year, 2008 has been a five for me. In an ideal world I'd like to turn it up to eleven. I await your reply eagerly. Bollocks to the “semi-concerning” bit, I say peddle to the metal, foot to the floor:

Dear Jeb,
