This has been my perpectual struggle. But you're mindful and that's a huge step in the right direction. Wow, do I relate! This has been my perpectual struggle.

I'm a big fan of occasional wallowing. Did you ever read the book, "Care Of The Soul" by Thomas Moore? He puts forth that very idea in much more beautiful and poetic language than me. Of course failing that, I'm sure Scott would be happy to cut you a few lines of his stash. Sometimes it’s good to wallow in those sad moods. I’m a big fan of occasional wallowing.

I'm not a undercover cop so you can trust me. Really. I swear. Cross my heart. By the way, where do you live? Scott, where do you get your cocaine? I’m not a undercover cop so you can trust me.

A little cocaine. It does the trick every time, and I get so much done! You know what peps me up when I’m feeling down?

Would I want to hang out with me?" Most of us are the people we'd want to hang out with (and there's so many of us that like to hang out with you, I can't imagine you'd feel differently). Most of us are the people who try this hat on for a little, try that one next, maybe leave a good spot a little soon or delay leaving a bad one. And it sounds like you just left a high adrenalin situation w/ the work project. I've had some of those crashes too after a big deadline, where you just feel a little like an empty shell, but don't quite have your bearing enough to fill it yet. Hope you get your equilibrium back soon (and hope this helps) One of my tricks when I get into that mental space (which is too often than I care to admit) is to look at myself as I am today - to not look backwards at the paths not taken or the particular mood I’m in - just neutral snapshot me today and say “Would I like me?
