Sad, but really good. It's very plausible that this could have happened at that point of the show- Jim seeing a therapist- because, if you really pay attention to those episodes, Jim was more depressed, and sort of drawing away from Pam.

This made me cry:
How he’d come home that night, barely managed to slip off his shoes and fallen into bed. How he’d sunk his teeth into the corner of his pillow and cried for two hours until he felt lightheaded and fell asleep.

"...as long as there’s her, I’m not going anywhere." - that sums up Jim perfectly.

This was great so far, I really love how depressed Jim is. I dont think this is really explored to much but I love the idea!
Are you going to continue this? If you do could you send me an email at kgiambruno@gmail.com when you do? I am not registered at this site so idk if they have email notification or not but I would really appreciate it.

I could really see Jim trying to resist this whole endeavour, because it brings everything he has tried not to deal with for so long. I do hope he will finally start to see the light a little bit in the end though. :)

You are really delving into the trace of sadness around the Jim character and making it live. Amazing, and heartbreaking.

Great, as always. I love the desolate feel of your story
"...my car’s doing this thing where it backs itself into other parked cars."
Intriguing.
Author's Response:
That was actually taken from my own personal life. Only it wasn't so much my car backing itself into other cars as it was my brother backing my car into other cars.
Thanks for reading. :)

Sweetheart, I sure do hope you're working towards some kind of resolution, because Jim is fucking breaking my heart.
Author's Response:
Don't worry, things will work out in the end, I think. But for now, it's not going to be so easy for Jim. Because I think one of the things that intrigues me the most about Jim as a character is that outwardly and with what we see of him, he should be a happy, well adjusted person. But, at least to me, he also seems to have this desperation about him. Like he's dying inside a little, because of Pam, because of his job, because of how life is turning out for him.

Oh, Jim. You succeed in ripping my heart out with every chapter. This is brilliant and so, so sad.

I'm really enjoying this. I can feel all of Jim's emotions in your writing. Excellent work.

I'm really, really liking this. It's so bare, but your characterization of Jim, his particular way of speaking, is so down that it's very easy to visualize him saying the lines. This is bleak and beautiful. Like the line from the infamous Garden State Frou Frou song - there's beauty in the breakdown.

i love this series!! it's really great and also could help explain some of jim's behavior. keep it up!!

Wow. This is really, really good. Of course, it's so angsty and painful that I really hope there's at least a semi-happy ending somewhere...

Just wanted to chime in to say that I've really been enjoying this story. This isn't an easy format to write in (except maybe for DFW!) and you're pulling it off really well. Sad and lovely. Hoping for more chapters soon.

This concept works so well because a) you rock as a storyteller and b) the things you have Jim reveal to "the" therapist are what we can see on his face. JK's so expressive that you pretty much know that this is what's going on under the surface. Thanks so much for putting words to those looks.
Sad, painful and sadly, incredibly true.

I absolutely love this chapter (and this story). Jim just feels very true to character, because this is what he would find on the show if he allowed himself to dig a little deeper. It is such an interesting and different way to tell the story, and yet it absolutely feel like the Jim we know..

I just wanted to let you know that I've been reading this story and I think it's fantastic. The characterization is so interesting and really original, which is nice - it kind of feels like you're reading a piece of original fiction, not fanfic, though of course at the same time his character rings really true to the show. Which makes absolutely no sense. Oh well.
So yeah. I'm really, really enjoying reading it. It's much better than basically any other fanfic I've been reading.

Is it bad that I find depressed Jim really fucking sexy? Enough of my weirdness. I love this story! You do such a great job of conveying the stifling atmosphere of a therapist's office. And I really like what he reveals to the doctor juxtaposed with what he doesn't. Couldn't wait to read this chapter :)
