If contents can indeed be found in a mind....

You know what? A british colleague once said to me, I had many strings to my bow. He meant that as compliment.
Maybe those strings are not the negative thing you may think them. Obviously, you have several conflicting roles... but at least you don't really seem isolated and all on your own. And this is the true curse: isolation you can't escape. Doesn't seem to be your problem; so perhaps you are better off than you may think.
And as for people and obligations you can't escape, grab some gear and go off for a week. Camp out. Count stars. Follow a river. Come back, and start again. Just tell folks before you walkabout; they deserve such basic courtesy, even if it doesn't feel like that.
(Excuse me for getting serious here and boringly lecture you.)

not a problem...sometimes each of us need that...
(and you'd be surprised how correct you are in that suggestion...)

Get this straight: You're unemployed (you say). You have an attitude (I see). Get rid of this first (I say). Money-fairies don't like tense folks (I know; that's why she doesn't drop by THIS place). All else will then fall in place (I guess).
Or not (who knows). But I don't think things will get much worse in these few days (I hope). Perhaps your environment grants you this break, if it's clear you'll seriously "git to it" afterwards. At least your attitude might improve.
How far am I off the mark?

(Sometimes, very much so. But I should stop this guessing game. "dead center and a million miles away" is too dangerous. I'm not in the business of talking people into things, even if it might be sense. Or what I think that would be. You can start vicious things in other folks heads.)

(Exactly. That's why I'll try to cut back on this. It might create a monster. I mean, an even bigger one. The Mother of all Monsters. Like really BIG. Godzilla's dad. Get the picture?)

Obviously I don't support it, but I support
the impulses that are giving rise to it.
