Dear Textrax,
Sorry to hear, as you tell us, that "practically speaking my life is all out of balance right now, with depression, unemployment and housing issues."
Your posts evince such a high degree of self-awareness, I have no doubt that "the answer of what to do next [will] yet become clear down the road."
In fact, I hope it is not too presumptuous of me to add that from this vantage it appears the right action is already arising.
Ok maybe not all by itself imho (but I'm no Buddhist, so what do I know).
Congratulations on 8 months-plus, from an 8-dayer here. And whatever IRL support is, I hope you have it, or find it.
