Last Friday, I was feeling unnecessary, as I often do, but, I headed for NOMAD anyway. I had driven 50 miles or so, constantly feeling that maybe I should just return home. It was raining, and life sucked. Something drove me on, and, I'm really glad it did. I had a great time. It's always a pleasure to spend time with the "Washington Mafia" and Sandy & Caroline, Dick Greenhaus and his parodies etc. Jon, If you isolate yourself, you are going to feel even worse, because you will energize the thought. Such feelings feed on themselves. The solution is..DO something! (Wellbutrin helps)
