maybe my worst year in 2 decades

On Edit: and tired worn-out support group pablum telling me how I'm supposed to think and feel, or telling me how 2017 was for me, as if I couldn't decide that for myself, isn't the least bit helpful. One ought to be able to say how one's year was or how one is feeling without getting a superior talk-down lecture about wrong-think or being too self-centered. It may be "insightful" in some contexts (though it has been said in the rooms many times for many decades), but as a response to someone saying "2017 ... is maybe my worst year in 2 decades", it is downright bizarre, particularly in a group whose purpose is to be supportive (speaking of down thread, not about the post I'm replying to).

As far as taking myself out of the center, it's a bit hard to do that when it's up to me to deal with and fix or at least ameliorate the disaster.
