Denial Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance

[Harlan Huckleby]

I will be stuck at stage 4 -depression - for rest of my life.

About 10 things had to go wrong for Packers to lose. Whole team played not to lose - MM gets blame.

I don't care that Packers aren't going to SB. It would have been nice, but no biggie. It's the way that Packers lost that is so unreal.

These types of losses seem to happen to the Packers a lot. The "act of God" losses. 2003, 2007, 2009, 2014 (probably missing several).

Now the plus side is that the Packers, unlike many other teams, are in the playoffs often. So they have more opportunities for those losses. It's time for the football gods to bless Green Bay instead of some other fad team that won't be in the playoffs in two more years.

Actually, I think this loss was more confusing than any other sports loss I've ever seen. It just was such a shocking reversal, I've never been on such a losing end before.

I'm in the anger stage. And will be for some time.

The trouble is:

Getting those other teams to want to cooperate.

Hey come on where were you?

You had that time between the end of regulation and the start of OT to get used to the idea the Packers were flushing down the drain.

The cool thing is this:

We get to feel this way again next year. We can absolutely call ourselves survivors.

Last 15 minutes was blurry nightmare. I was in and out of conciousness. Like the end of a Bill Cosby date.

Last time the Packers lost an overtime playoff game, they won the Super Bowl the following year. What stage am I in?

Tonight I hired a fair female companion. I did not want to be alone. She stayed for an hour then left me all alone to go on with my miserable existence. Whatever happened to the wondering and wondrous 60's, a time when love was free?

In times like these, I - a wretched dreamer at the far, far, left - am glad I don't own a gun. If you do own a gun, just remember: You are not alone. It's times like these you learn to live again...

That said, post your favorite sad songs in this thread to help us deal with depression. I'm not sure if that statement is an irony, but I'll start...

What about the 'get stupid drunk and cry like a little baby' stage? I'm there now and want to know how long it lasts?
